Painting Break!

My wooden puzzle is almost finished, but I had to take a short break to paint a little monster for my little monster!

(Look at that nefarious little face!)

I'll be finishing up that puzzle and starting a few other projects soon. <3

Wee-ooo!

Hello all!

It's been awhile, but to be fair- I was busy producing the most beautiful creation I've ever made! He's a little baby boy named Odin Rainer Bahamut MacKay. Born April 27th, 22 inches long and weighing 10 pounds. Here's the handsome little man:

Now that it's been about a month, I've finally started to adjust to the never-ending needs of the newborn. I'm starting to manage juggling this little guy and making some new things. I actually found myself upstairs in the studio for the first time in weeks (months?!), which felt oh so good!

Loads of new things in the works, as well as finishing up some paintings for future gallery shows. Be excited!

Finally!

It's been a busy month, so I apologize for the lack of artsy stuff! Finally got this little wooden toy glossed and photographed:

This is a re-painted wooden toy. We have been working on some of our own jumping dolls- designed, cut, and painted by a few friends and I. Hopefully we'll have a finished project to show before summer hits. We've also been working on some great wooden puzzles. I am in the final steps of one of our first designs so expect that sooner than later (I hope!).

Valentine's Day is Just Around the Corner!

Hello hello!


I have a habit of making lots of little gifts for all my friends. I'm excited that this year I made a set of Valentine's Day cards available to purchase, which you can do on my Etsy. These original designs are all illustrated and printed by me. Please check them out and maybe get some for your loved ones!

Tallulah and Bernice!

New blog, new blog. I'll start you off with some sweet little hand sculpted dolls I made for a local gallery showing. Tallulah is a tad bit more elegant than her whimsical younger sister Bernice, but the two enjoy their time together. Tallulah is quite the fan of local dances, meeting new friends, and writing. Bernice prefers her time alone, making friends with the butterflies, dancing with elephants, and frolicking often (Oh, and of course her bear hat, which she never leaves home without).

 

These lovely ladies were designed, hand-sculpted, painted, and dressed by myself. These babes are sort of a gateway into the world of puppets. I really hope to play around with some marionette making this year, but for now the obsession is with wooden toys. Recycling (Repainting) one now, so hopefully pictures tomorrow or the day after!

After a long hiatus, it was time to make a brand new blog. The last art blog hasn't been updated since thesis so I'm excited to start fresh!
