Step In To The Jungle...

When I asked my, 2 (almost 3...in February ) grandson what he would like on his step stool...
He replied ....well....animals...moma...what else!! LOL...what else indeed!!
So step in to the jungle....which was suppose to be completed for Christmas..(not that there was a lack of presents for the little guy!!) but now will be saved for his birthday! WOW...I am way ahead of the game for that date....COOL!!
Enjoy!!.....
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!

This is what it is all about!!

When designing and executing a custom piece...I try just to put myself into the spirit of who the piece is for...This step stool was going to a special little girl from her grandma!! And I wanted it to show all the joy of a child with all the love of a grandmother....This picture just tells it all!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Skinny book arrival!

My Skinny Book arrived yesterday and I am in awe of all the wonderful work that went into this book both by the artists and by Christie.....If you are a visiting artist, please find the page on this blog that you have in your book and leave me a note if you will.....I would LOVE to know the homes that they went to, and I would love to hear from everyone....This book was so worth the wait...
THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING IN THE FUN!
Artfully Yours,

PS....To view the pages I made, please scroll down to the bottom of this page and then HIT older posts ...They are there one after another for 2 pages...all 26 of them!! LOL....

House Number

Once again in my haste to get things from my mind completed I neglected to take a picture of the raw elements that went into making this house plaque!! Got to love the Muse that just needs to get into the paint!! This piece started out as a raw piece of wood cut in the shape of a house, and a tin bird that was once a garden ornament that was only silver! So, with a vision and with paint I have made a plaque to go on a home of people I adore!! The writing at the bottom says..
"Life is better at the beach..." and I will be wrapping and sending this soon...Now, lets hope they don't visit this site so the SURPRISE element is still there!! LOL....This was great fun to work on and is filled with love for my friends....
