Pickadoo Postcard

A promotional collage postcard.  My favorite part is the tiny bit of starry night peeking out from behind the theatrical set up.  The leaf and shell are like the actors on stage and the ribbons along the side are meant to be the curtains. 

Color Scape Jewelry Backing Cards

Here are the rest of the backer cards series that I package with pendants.  The cards are approx. 4x6 and all of the photos I took with my camera, not knowing what I would end up doing with them.  I played around with real paint chips and then arranged them to come up with my own "paint sample' collection.  The funnest part was naming each color. 

Etsy Cards

Putting together a batch of cards to go up on my upcoming Etsy shop.  It's been a time of busy production and can't wait to have it up and running.

New Poppy Pendant

Here is my latest pendant design with matching art card.  I have 7 more designs that I'm making pendants for.  I adhere my image to a bead.  It is double sided so that when the pendant swings, it is reversible.  I plan on making many more of these.

Tyson!

"Is it time for a treat?"

I was inspired to make this art piece about a delightful boston terrier named Tyson who comes to my work.  He is a smart, funny little dog that loves to great visitors and help his mom at work.  He is so well behaved and friendly that he makes everyone's day more fun.
The little blue flower is a 3D resin dahlia cabochon. 

I started by taking a picture of Tyson.  This was not easy to do since he doesn't stop moving.  After painting a background and printing out my piece- I coated it with a layer of Triple Thick for a hard, glossy look.  I mounted it on a backsplash tile with a slight metallic finish to give the edge some bling.  I found these cool easel backs that allow you to hang the work or let it stand like a photo frame.  The final size is 4"x4".  I added a Pickadoo Design sticker and packaged it up in a cello bag then it was ready to give.
