The Bowls of Summer

I've posted photos of some of these bowls already, in my color mixing tutorials, but I wanted to show off a few more pictures. Since I just finished up some new designs for fall, I am eager to show them off but wanted to get these up first. Enjoy!

You can find these bowls in my Etsy shop.

The Green Room

Yikes! My room has been taken over by green disks!


Okay, that's 50 of each color (green and cream) with the backgrounds done. Today I will begin painting the designs!

These are some of my BRAND NEW items that will be offered for sale this weekend in New York during the PDX Etsy trunk show, Brooklyn Indie Market, and Etsy Labs Halloween Party.

My idea was to offer a matching set. I think it makes for a really cute display and also adds value to the product. So now when you purchase one of my painted Roman Record Cuffs, you will also have the option to get a matching mirrored jewerly tray made from an upcycled 45 rpm record! I sculpted the edges of some of the records to make lovely little flower-like forms, and left some of them flat as well.

I hope to make some more and get them listed in my shop soon. In the meantime, I would love to hear your feedback on this idea! The cuffs are regularly $24 and my Feng Shui Mirrors (usually designed to hang on the wall) go for $18. I am offering the matching set for $40. Let me know what you think! Would you buy the whole set, or just the cuff, or just the mirror?

I would also like to thank analiese for sharing the Pantone Fall Color Chart in the Etsy forums. I totally used it to mix up these colors and I am quite happy with how they turned out. The captions I used above are actually the names of these "hot" fall Pantone colors.

Treasury time

Two gorgeous treasuries are currently featuring my work - Lollipop Lollipop and Mandalas Kaleidoscopes. Both of these treasuries also include work by Andrew Daniel who is one of my favorite artists on Etsy. Many thanks to makefuncrafts and flandersfield for creating these lovely lists.
