My Ornaments will also be on display at the Beet Gallery. They will be hung on a big handmade tree with a few other artists' ornaments as well. I can't wait to see it!
Premiering on Nov. 28th!

Shooting stars... or me.

I made 50, yes 50 mini star piñatas for the Crafty Wonderland Super Colossal Holiday Sale goodie bags.  With a little help from my meticulous mother, we stuffed each one with a coupon to save up to $5.00 off any Paper, Flour, Water purchase!
Did I mention I did all of this within three long evenings?!

An Apple to Say Thanks!

It's graduation time!  
I made these mini papier mâché apples as a gift of thanks for your fav teachers.  Along with the usual confetti, inside the apples are chocolate gold coins because we all know a teachers time and knowledge is worth more than gold!

A Childhood Favorite

I finally finished this piece!  Yay!
It is a part of a series of large-scale paintings on canvas, all of which incorporate 3D papier mâché elements with oil and acrylics.  
It measures roughly 2.5' x 5'.  
Yum, right!?

Now... More Jewelery than Just Necklaces!


This weekend I experimented with some earring designs. Nothing is final, but here is what I came up with so far.

Gut the Fish



Recently I created a personalized fish piñata for my coworker Tina to give to her Man for his Birthday.
He is a music teacher and avid fisherman.

Inside the piñata are chocolate kisses, music note confetti, a love letter from Tina written on music composition paper, as well as other unmentionables.

To get the goods, a knife will be inserted in the back and pulled along the bottom to 'gut the fish.' The front of the fish stays intact and makes a snazzy ornament.

I also made one for my dad on his 70th Birthday. It was a big hit with the Mexican's at Los dos Compodres, the restaurant we ate at.
