Greeting Card Clearance SALE!

I've been rethinking the greeting card section of my shop. My drawing style has changed a bit since I made the first few cards in the shop, so it's time to clear them out and start on some new cards. All the cards are currently 50% off with code: PENPAL. Head over to the shop!

I Only Have Eyes For You

I've been trying out some new things and making brooches out of polymer clay. It's been nice working with a 3D medium again. I made a couple of these eye brooches, available in black & blue. Each one is hand-sculpted & hand-painted, making them unique; no two are exactly alike. You can find them in my shop!

Weekly Want: Hand-painted Cat Brooch by Emma Carlisle

I feel like I've been lagging on blogging because I've been focusing on producing new work. It's been a little disheartening seeing a lot of my favorite Etsy shops close & move their shops elsewhere…or worse, close forever. But being a seller myself, I understand. I don't expect my etsy shops to be there forever either. But the one thing I really miss about the old Etsy is how easy it was to discover new sellers & great products. The new Etsy tries to predict what you will like based on what you previously liked or what your friends are liking and it ends up being a bunch of repetitive stuff.

I think that's why I haven't posted a Weekly Want in a while. I just haven't come across anything recently that wowed me. But I've been thinking a lot of Emma Carlisle's work lately. Everything about her work just makes me happy. It's probably mostly because a lot of her work features a orange tabby cat that reminds me of my Sebastian. This week I'm loving this particular hand-painted brooch. It just looks like Sebastian when he's looking to play!

Available from her shop.

New in the Shop: Love Letter Brooch

Last week, Kevin and I registered to be vendors at DesignerCon 2015. Even though it's 7 months from now, I'm starting to work on some new products just for the show. One the things I'm making for the show are new brooches. The first of which are these Love Letter Brooches. Each one is handmade, hand-painted, and unique! They're currently available in the shop and there's more on the way!

Sale Item of the Week: Purrito Print

This week only, the Purrito Print is on sale! Originally $12, you can get it this week for $8. Head over to the shop!

Happy Easter!

Hello There, Tangerine Cat

I just added this little guy to the shop. He's a quick little painting I did earlier this week. I have a couple more things I've working on this week, one of which is an Easter special; you'll just have to wait and see.

I'm also having a Spring Cleaning Sale in the shop! Get 25% Off all orders with code: SPRING2015 now until Monday. I'm looking to cut down some of my greeting card inventory to make room for more prints.

Hot Tub

It's been really hot in LA. In case you haven't heard, we're in a horrible drought! Spring is here and it feels like Summer! The weather has been in the 90s for the past week or so and it sucks. The heat has been influencing my work. Here's a little piece I worked on this week.

Egg Camp

This is probably the weirdest thing I've painted to date, but sometimes it's good to get this kind of stuff out of your system.

Happy Pi(e) Day!

My all-time favorite pie is chocolate cream. It's a classic that's essentially just chocolate pudding and whipped cream with crust. But even better is eating a slice of chocolate cream and banana cream together. YUM! Wishing everyone an awesome Pi(e) Day! Now go get yourself some pie!
