August 6th, 2010Sugar Chirps and Crafty Bastards
July 27th, 2010It has been a while, but I am back and I have some fun stuff to share with you! I am going to be vending in the Crafty Bastards show in Washington DC on October 2nd from 10am to 5pm. Click to see more info about the show.
I also wanted to share a brand new print Sugar Chirps.The Nerdy Birds are at it again. This time they are assisting some lovely gals that worship anything sweet. These girlies are all about creating pastries, candies, cookies, waffles, cupcakes, etc. Their motto is keepin’ it sweet. The Nerdy Birdys always make kitchen an interesting place to be. They are definitely a pinch mischievous and a spoonful of humor. This is the third painting in the series called Keepin’ It Sweet.
That about it for now! Stay tuned for more jewelry, art and other fun tsai-fi stuff coming soon.

Lanakai Kauai
June 27th, 2010It has has been a very intense last few weeks. But I finally had some time to finish up this new piece. It is the third in a series of paintings that I have done called Coconut Cuties. The title of this piece is Lanakai Kauai.
When I visited Kauai a few years ago, I was struck by the amazing natural beauty everywhere. The calm beaches and the sensational waterfalls were almost too much to take in. I was in love with this place and I did not want to leave. Another part of Kauai that I couldn’t get over were the wild chickens everywhere. I was so inspired. I have been waiting to create this painting for a while. I wanted to incorporate a paddle boarder that I saw in Nawiliwili Park with the chickens that I saw everywhere.
Paddle Boarder in Nawiliwili Park in Kauai, HI
Chickens on Poipu Beach in Kauai, HI.
So after giving you the back story, here is the brand spank’in new painting. This little lady goes by the name of Lanikai Kauai. She lives to paddle board! She often picks up feathered passengers on her pineapple shopping trips. This print is now for sale. Click to check it out!
That’s it for now. More new art is coming soon.

I vended at the Unique LA independent design show in Los Angeles, California last weekend April 24 and 25. It was a fun weekend, met a lot of fabulous Angelenos and saw a ton of super cute stuff. I also noshed on some delicious handmade ice cream sandwiches with a balsamic and fig ice cream. Here are some pics of my booth.
I have been also working on a custom piece for a client inspired by my Mistress collection. I have finished and I wanted to share the art piece with you. The client had commissioned a drawing of her and her Jack Russell Trixie in the Mistress style. She had asked for pearls, butterflies and bubbles. Here is the artwork below. The art piece is 12″ x 16″ and it is done in chalk pencil. The piece is called the Trixie Mistress.
That’s it for now. I will have some more updates later this week. Thanks again for all of your support!
