New Art

I've been painting a little.  Actually more

gifts to friends lately.

This is a picture I made for a friend that just

got married.  I ended up painting on an old chart.

I embroidered small flowers on tissue and laid that over

the painted picture and then framed in a vintage silver frame.

  I then scanned this onto fabric and made a pillow too. 

 Forgot to take pictures of them finished. 

  This is for a step-niece that just graduated

from college.  This is a dress of her's and

a quote from her facebook page.

Just art waiting to be framed.

  

This was for a step-nephew. I photoshoped his name off

of here.  As you can see my editing skills are lacking.

But I like the frog.

More.

Hutch Studio

I had to look for some pictures yesterday

for a Bunny project I am working on. Unfortunately

they were not on my computer so I had to look at

one of my external hard drives.  And looking among the

thousands of pictures I have I found these.

This is a cardboard boat Chris made to hold

some soft nautical bunnies I made.

This is "the book"  of whirligigs Chris has made.

Handmade plush by us.

Old and new together.

I made these as a table decoration for a lunch we hosted.

 Chris made these chairs for our bunny room.

Recycled cardboard.

This light turns from the heat of the bulb.

Idea for a pull-toy for the baby line.

Picture frame from cardboard.  Bunny art, "distressed."

Our new bunny room.  Furniture is cardboard.

Spring window paper cut outs

And here he is...

Distracted

I am a very excitable person.  When I find something

I love....I am into it BIG TIME.  Well my heart has

wandered over to pinterest.  It is just fun and quick and

a whole lot less work than a blog.  I am bored with 

other blogs too. 

When I first discovered blogs I thought it 

was the coolest thing I had ever discovered.  Because

as an artist I am looking for inspiration.  Something

to spark me into creating.  

Well, truthfully I like just looking at pictures,

and pinterest is like heroin for someone like me.

So sorry blog world...I have a soft spot for you

but my love has wandered.  

Well that being said I will continue to post.

But the little spare time I have is spent...pinning.

So here you go.

Here are some pictures of my

Beach house that is for sale.

We had a dinner party at Bunnies.

Here is our "coffee table."

Wow, out of nowhere...I have a new, old travel trailer

Sometimes, strange things happen when

you least expect it.  I drove from Kirkland

to Anacortes today to go to work.  I had to

stop by my house to water the yard and took

a back road instead of Highway 20.  I passed

a gated storage area that has trailers and boats.

in it.  Out of the corner of my eye I see, AQUA.

It is a little travel trailer and in the back window is

a, for sale sign.  I flip around, park and try to take a picture
through the chain link fence. Then I see a guy roaming 

around so I ask if I could get in to see the trailer.

It is unlocked so I go inside and get a really good look.

It is so perfectly, aqua from roof to floor, all original.

I call the owner...and 4 hours later he delivers it to

my door!

She is a Scotty Hilander, we think a 1968-69

All original.  I am in love.

This is Bill, the former owner. He also tried to sell me beads,
some flax seed, labels from vintage apple boxes.....
But, I only had eyes for my Scotty. 

A top bunk, and the bottom bunk gets bigger.

See the walls?  Original paint on wood.  A now shabby lovely

aged aqua with grey specks.  Even the floor is white with aqua.

Sink, stove, cabinets.

I took these pictures with my snapseed app.  So I gave them a grunge

look.  It's pretty grungy already but I just keep saying in my head.

"Cute as a button!!!"

This is the table that folds into a bed.

I don't want to make it perfect and shiny.  I love the look now.

Just need to get rid of the musty smell and a good cleaning.

Add some cream cushions and call it good!

Sam adjusting

I have been out of the loop...It is summer

hard to sit at a computer when you can

be outside enjoying our amazing weather.

Here is latest of Sam and Sydnee.

I downloaded a new app called

SNAPSEED.  You take the 

pictures through the app and you

can alter them and store in your library.

You don't have to do it at the time you take

the picture you can do it later.

Here is my little angel, in a moment

of cooperation.

We made Sam a Teepee

 Baby Sydnee....she is so good.

 Sam likes "Big Watermelon"

 Uhhh what do I do with her?

Show me your moves spiderman.

Includes popcycle drool on his chin.

Hutch refresher

We have some visitors coming 

from out of town.  So a little refresher 

for Hutch.

I like them...who knows where they came from.  Someone was hard on shovels.

For some reason we had all these broken garden rakes and shovels in the shed.
I thought they added a nice touch to our hanging plant jars on the front porch.

Petite roses tied with twine to a wooden, I don't know what....I found in our back shed.

Big... Big bunny with bow.

A big duck holding a tall flower.

Pom Pom bunny pillows.  A little pink on their checks for the finishing touch.

There are 10 of these windows I painted little scenes in each.  White acrylic paint.
You take it off with a razor blade.

Paper flowers I had made and hung from the windows.  Now hang from a painted
lamp shade.

Some small bunnies on a little pink and white shelf.  These take as much time to
make as a large bunny....but so sweet when they are tiny.
