A Special Request from New Jersey

A recent customer from New Jersey had a friend of hers request a calligram to be made for his pregnant wife.

At first, I wasn't sure if a silhouette was something that I could sell later and so I thought I may need to charge my special "commission rates." But after doing some planning, I decided this just might be something that many people might like to help commemorate pregnancy or the birth of a child.

Pregnancy is a special time to remember, even if it does include morning sickness, labor pains and back aches. And yes, I did include those words in this calligram about Baby, Pregnancy, Motherhood & Childbirth.

New Scooter Calligram!!

This is a newly designed scooter calligram. My first attempt was posted almost one year ago. You can see it here.

I'm so happy with the newest results!

I now have 10 different calligram designs on my Etsy shop and have already sold 6 this week alone. It's only Monday!!!

I think I found my niche! Thank God, I was about to go look for a "real job."

We Could All Use a Bit of Good Karma

This new Calligram in the shape of a Lotus Flower suggests the importance of making good choices while on this journey called Life.

Karma is described in many different ways in different cultures and religions. I prefer to call it;

"Cause and Effect."

Quit Your Whining Wine Pins!

I'm now using my resin pins as gift tags at Arista Wine Cellars! Available in March!

When just a bottle of wine isn't quite enough, you can tie one of these pin tags on and there you go!

Perfect!

Now you can stop whining, you've found the perfect gift! Drink up for now, wear the art later!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

By the way hubby, you don't have to get me one of these. I already have too many.....;-)

New Pendants!

Now you can bring that bottle of wine with you and stop worrying about public responsibility, designated drivers, or getting embarrassingly drunk!

I'm thrilled that I can actually take my art out of the house and onto the streets without having to carry the heavy load!

These pendants are made from tiny prints of my own art and Ice Resin. A jeweler's grade non-toxic resin that will not yellow or cloud.

I'm excited to add wearable art to my etsy shop!

The Possibilites are Endless

One of the things I love about doing these calligrams is the endless possibilities of ideas that come flooding into my brain while I'm working. It also forces me to do some research in areas I wouldn't normally investigate.

I'd tell you what some of those ideas are for the next calligrams...but then it wouldn't be a surprise. So, you'll just have to keep coming back!

See you in February!
