New Cat Pillows

I've been working on a fun little project- making new cat pillows! I had to figure out how to block print on fabric for these, and there was a lot of trial and error involved. I am getting the hang of it now. I'm currently trying to save up for a sewing machine, but in the meantime I am getting pretty good at sewing by hand.
These are different than the ones I used to make not only because they aren't silkscreened, but also because they have fun decorative patterned fabrics on their reverse side instead of another cat image. You can check them out as I begin to list them in my Etsy shop.

Work at Fresh stART tomorrow night

Tomorrow night I have two pieces at the Fresh stART event at Arena 1 Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. More info is on the Fresh stART website.

Shows in February

Happy February!
I am in a couple of shows this month. The first opens this Friday at Three Graces Gallery in Portsmouth, NH. I have eight pieces in the Teeny Tiny Art Show there February 5th through March 1st. You can check out all the work in the show on Three Graces' Flickr page.

I'm excited that some of my very tiny canvases are in this show, as well as some of my smaller works on paper.

Also later this month I will have two pieces in this year's Fresh StART event at Arena 1 Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. I'll post more about that event closer to the event date.

Playing with Silhouettes

Just some quick little drawings I did yesterday.

New Year, New Work

Happy New Year! Here is a new piece I just finished.

I decided to experiment a bit will collage elements. I am pretty happy with the result, perhaps I will continue this experiment in future pieces. And of course, a print is available in my Etsy shop.
