In the workshop: huladollsquidgirl plaques

My hulagirl originals sold right after the show and went to a very nice home. But I miss them terribly since I only got to spend couple of days with them. So I'm very excited to show you these huladollsquidgirl plaques! They are a little smaller than the originals (5 1/2 x 5 1/2) and they are made of solid block of pine 1 inch thick. They also are ready to hang with sawtooth hangers. They also have spacers at the bottom corners so they don't hang at an angle. They will soon be available on my Etsy store.

Tiki and Hugs

Last week was a busy one. Had 2 shows to attend, and they were super fun!

Amanda, as always, put on an awesome monthly art show at Howley's. This month's theme was "Art you can hug." The restaurant was full of cutie-pie plushies. I entered a Dawn Doll that I did the outfit for. I had so much fun creating this outfit, it has socks, removable shoes, underdress, and smocking!



And then off to Cocoa Village to Ossorio's, where Jacob Mcalister put on a great Tiki-themed show for the town's bi-annual Gallery Walk. I wish I was able to hang out a little longer, because I met some cool local artists. I loved talking shop and picking their brains about their technique.


You can see my hulagirls on the second shelf on the left of the photo.

I had so much fun doing the Rocketgirl painting that I was anxious to do another piece like it. Then I received a very exciting invitation to show some work at a Cocoa Village cafe during their bi-annual Gallery Walk. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything that would fit the retro islands theme. The deadline was pretty quick, but I thought I could try to pull off couple of 6x6 pieces. I'm glad I did because I'm very happy with these fun little paintings.
