Little Bo Peep

Well the two Little Bo Peep illustrations are finally done!
YAYS!!!

The video, however, is still in the works - I have to make an intro and I keep putting it off. It is not that I am camera shy…its just that I can’t seem to get the right lighting! Ugh. It is the perfectionist in me that keeps me from choosing the intro clip - lol I think I have recorded like 50 different takes…I am just going to have to bite the bullet and choose one. No more procrastinating!
That being said, I hope to have it up in the next week :D

Little Bo Peep Prints will be up for sale this upcoming week too. They will be sold as a set, however I will list them separately as well (the sheep one is cute just on its own too I think).

I am still debating whether or not to sell the originals….It is hard to part with my artwork - that is why digital media is so much easier for me :P

As you can see, the scanned in paintings are alot brighter than the photo I took holding them. I think I will play around with the colours in photoshop to maybe get them more like the originals.

In other news, I have joined Suzi Blu’s Mixed Media site, and am going to sign up for her online class!! I am super excited!! Come sign up with me and support a wonderful artist HERE

Oh! and I got my haircut - as you can see in the picture. It is a subtle asymmetrical cut and I LOVE it! However, it is alot higher maintenance than I expected - I definitely have to blow dry it and put product in it…and I have to get a flat iron lol….been holding off getting one of those things for years now, but the time has come to buy one :P

Anywho, hope ya’ll are well and I will try to update here more often than once a month lol

Have a super duper weekend tout le monde!

Munday :P

Marzipan and Ginger, sitting behind me, wanting to play - the typical afternoon.

“mom, come play with us!! we want to go outsideeee *whine whine whine*” lol

Having them sit there, looking at me with such sad eyes, makes it hard to work. It happens everyday after lunch - David goes back to work, I turn on my music, and they suddenly appear wanting attention. They wait till I want to work. Sometimes it is so totally frustrating lol but how can I say no??

Just look at that little face!!

They sooo need to go to the groomers - Marzi got into a mud hole that our friend’s dog dug…ohh my, was she ever dirty! You can’t really tell in these two pics, but she is not her usual white-self lol. I think this weekend we will take them in.

I printed out my first sheet of Art Cards today. I think they look pretty good! Once again my camera skills are the suck, but you can get the idea.

That is Ginger in the corner - she was curious :P.
They are so much brighter in person! Next step is to cut them out and take some good photos of them with thier envelopes. I think I will get David to help me with the pics - he is a good photographer, and with the two of we could try to take the photos outside. Better lighting ftw!

I have been trying to use Twitter, but I am unsure what to do with it. None of my friends in Canada seem to use it, so I am kinda at a loss. So far I just have a few artists that interest me (like Natasha and Suzi) …but because there is no one on there that knows ME, I don’t see the point in updating it. I guess it may be something I will get into once I make more online friends. We will see.
Utterz is still next on my list - I am actually excited about trying it out! I have been browsing people’s pages, and it seems like a real cool community. So yah, definitely going to start that up this week.

On Thursday, David and I go get our hair cut - I am planning on getting into a shorter bob! lol I came down to Texas with long hair, but have since got it cut shorter each time we see Nikki (our hair stylist). I used to have REALLY short hair, like maybe an inch long, back in high school - but got bored with it and started to grow it out again. Now I am back with wanting it really short. Maybe after the appointment I will get some pics together to show my hair over the years. lol could be fun!

Wow, I have written a ton here. Oopsy!
This is a good example why the Utterz thing would be a benefit to me - I talk way to much and some people would rather hear it than read it :P

Okey dokey, so I hope you all had a wonderful Monday!

Toodles!
