here you go… my sneak peek for tomorrow’s sale! [hopefully the snow will hold off until early evening and you all can make it out for a visit]

i hope you like these new additions. there are 15 new pieces coming to the show tomorrow… including some others from ETSY. see you there!

So… do you think that prince philip farted?

just look at prince harry’s face and the disgust on the queen’s face. we are NOT amused…

this is just so funny!! goes to show that even if you are royalty, your ‘air’ stinks just like everyone else’s LOL!

hey all…

well, i’m coming up for air from my very productive art room [i’ve got 12-15 new pieces in different stages of completion!] for a public service announcement of sorts:

many of know who follow my blog know that i’m participating in 2 artshows this december and the first one is just around the corner. here are the details…

creative finds
paperWERXings: Original Mixed Media Collage artworks and accessories
date: december 1, 2007 from 9:00am [what an ungodly hour!] to 8pm
where: sullivan community hall, located at 6306 - 152nd street [near 64th ave], surrey bc
artists: up to 30 unique artists from a variety of mediums

• i will be selling 6×6, 8×8, 12×12 and a few special oversized pieces of original mixed media collage on hardboard canvasses. prices range from $45 for the smaller pieces to $300 for a very large piece. these are great prices for original artwork and hopefully people will fall in love with them and buy them!
• i will also have a variety of my sold artworks available as
  reproduction 1.5" buttons and 1" rings. these make great stocking stuffers
  since they are at a much lower price point than my original pieces.
  you will be able to purchase the pins individually or in groups of 5 for $2.50/pin or $10 for the set.
  the rings will be selling for $4 each.
• i have a good number of NEW artwork in process specifically for this show, a sneak peek will be available on thursday, later this week. there are a few botanicals in the mix with my portrait/fashion ones so hopefully that will appeal to a broader market.

i’m a little freaked out, a little nervous and super pumped about the show next weekend. i hope some of you in the area [vancouver i mean] will be able to come out for a visit and check out the new artworks. see you on saturday! in the meantime… back to the studio!

thanks to everyone who made it down to our sale last week/weekend! it’s super to see all of you…

we’re going to be extending our UM rubberstamp sale for a while longer and will be running a buy 3 get the 4th one free until the end of november. that means that ANY of our UM stamps [including paper artsy, catslife, purple onion and of course our own line elements] are are just about 25% off if you buy 4 stamps. that’s a great deal and we still have some of our cool new holiday stamps available!

i’m also in heavy production mode for two upcoming art shows that i’m selling my original artwork at. lots of artwork and new pieces are being developed specifically for these shows and will not be available anywhere else [including etsy]. details about locations, dates and time will be posted soon… in the meantime, i’m hunkering down in my studio for some serious art-time and you probably won’t hear too much from me in the next few days/weeks.  i’ll update when i can =)
