Exciting news!!

I heard back from a publisher that the bracelet I submitted will be published!! I’m thrilled! Ecstatic! Overjoyed! I could go on and on… I wish I was given a time frame on a publishing date but unfortunately was not. I sent the actual bracelet off to be photographed by the publishing house yesterday.

OK..back to my reality…housework, hubby, kids…and always a little time for art!! :)

UPDATE:
I found out that the book will be published May 2008…seems like a long time from now but I’m sure it will be worth the wait!

Illustration Friday: Your Paradise

This is my first post for Illustration Friday. Being near the mountains makes me so happy…can’t wait for my next visit. Medium is watercolor painting on cardstock adhered to a CD.
I’ve always admired Marci Senders ability to come up with an image for the theme each week finally decided to give it a shot myself.

Second thought on my paradise.

More digital art

I’ve been working on some different digital designs for a project. The pink one made really nice copies so I’m definitely using that one. The dark one copied ok but didn’t like it once it was on the cardstock. I’ve been putting other embellishments on it trying to get the look I want but am still not satisfied. I REALLY wanted the white set to copy but the subtle background texture didn’t show.

Latest projects

I’ve been busy messing up my nice clean and organized art zone.

First I made this clock for my Mario Bros. obsessed son. He was so funny when I gave it to him…he smiled so big and then did a fake pass out to show his glee.

My next project was a new address book. Our old one was your basic boring black faux leather. I found a REALLY ugly binder at a garage sale that would fit the bill as soon as I spruced it up a bit. Now I can keep my book out on the counter instead of buried in the drawer.

Clean and organized

I finally got my art zone clean and organized. I had made a really good dent in the organizing process a couple of months ago but then of course..I got sidetracked and the mess multiplied. I’ve been in an end of the school year panic. I’ve been trying to get as much cleaned and organized all through the house as I possibly can before I have both kids home ALL THE TIME.
