It is trying it's best to give us some 'Snow Days'...love it if it would just snow us in for a few days...with nothing to do but, create, read, relax & think about what lies ahead for us in 2012. My Reps just got back from the Atlanta Gift Show...they were talking to manufacturers about my designs. I feel there are interesting things coming my way this year! At the moment I'm working furiously on some New designs that I absolutely Love...as some of you know, it's not always the case that an artist 'loves' what they do, they see room for improvement, changes, a different approach...well, not this time. I have been doing so many 'mock-ups' this past year for potnetial clients & working on a booth for the Licensing Show that I haven't had much time for just exploring...well, the time hit me a few days ago. 
This week I'm creating designs for drinkware...like glasses & mugs. This is one of my artist series...I start out with old cardboard, gesso it a couple of times, not worrying about making it smooth, (I like texture) then after it dries I get out the brushes & sponges and so go town painting abstracts...I really love the freedom that this allows me. I also love making a mess with paints! Reminds me of being young & carefree! Here's to 'being FREE'!
