Say it with fur...

...or something that looks furry. :) This kitty and pit bull are ready to help convey your 'I love you' message!

Christmas Critter Give Away

Alright folks, here's your opportunity to get a custom mini-critter of your choice. Beginning today until December 26th I will be accepting entries for my 'Christmas Critter Give Away'. Well, how do I enter you say? It's simple, just begin following my blog AND/OR leave a comment in THIS post! How easy is that I tell ya!?

All followers/entries will only count ONCE. The winner will be chosen on Saturday December 27th by an impartial party sticking their hand, or paw, in a hat and pulling out a random name. For your prize you may choose from a custom mini figurine (3") of your pet OR perhaps a favorite animal, domestic or wild. (Within reason that is... I dunno if I'm up for sculpting a Yeti or a Chupacabra yet.) If you'd like to transfer your winnings to someone else as a gift, that is totally possible as well.

On the 27th I will contact the winner via whatever means I can contact you (posting on your blog, email, etc) and I'll also post the winners name here as well.

So on your mark, get set, GO! Have fun and Merry Christmas!

P.S.
In the spirit of 'give aways' be sure and check out Allover Art. They are having a give away of their own and a pretty spiffy one at that! Besides, you won't regret visiting the blog or store, there's really some incredible art to see. :)

Yes Virgina, there IS a Garfield.

This caricature is a commission based on a cat that is Garfield incarnate. The real cat is much more amusing to look at. :)

I just can't decide!!

I've been searching Etsy for a Nermal's first cat collar and I just can't seem to make up my mind. I've narrowed my search down to two sellers, at least...Here's what I've got in my 'favorites' right now:
Just not sure which I like the best. Heck, I've even included a Canadian flag print and I'm not even Canadian! What tha tootie?

On a side note: Last week I thought that I had lost forever a special ring that my Dad and Step-Mom had given me as a gift. I was pretty bummed out, then I got a convo this morning...apparently the ring slipped off while I was packing orders and has traveled all the way to Massachusetts (it has just struck me what an odd word that is)! I am soo thankful that there are STILL honest people in the world. Go visit MadeByAshley over on etsy- she's got great jewelry and DEFINITELY deserves your business!

Wednesday!! Hurray!

Here's three plus one for good ol' hump day! :)And just 'cause this seems to be my week for posting videos...

Why is the printer not working?

A New Arrival

In an effort to motivate myself to update this blog on a regular basis, I've decided to begin writing about the everyday stuff as well as my art work. SO...to kick things off, meet Merri-Rose!Merri-Rose was a surprize guest who arrived Monday night. She crossed a busy road, in the dark no less, and ran right up to me! Well, what was I to do I ask you? Apparently nothing short of giving her a name and a home. Well, she's cute, and we can always use another mouser around the barn. Besides, Sass(the feline matriarch) is getting older and she and Bea(another priss-pot cat) need someone to keep them on their toes.
This cold wind sure is blowing in the unexpected!
Speaking of wind...the currents brought some of the most beautiful hot air balloons over to the house Saturday night. I don't think I've ever seen so many participate in the rally before. It was great!

Just finished up a commission this weekend as well. A small figurine of a chihuahua puppy resting on some shoes. :)
