Overdue updates
So this is a LONG overdue post. Unfortunately, I haven't been as good about keeping this up. But that's the way life goes sometimes.
Update 1 - Cards
UPDATE 5/3: cards in productionWell the cards are in production. I used one for MK's wedding shower yesterday and she loved it. Yeah for positive feedback! The first round has a flower and a blue ribbon, but to come are other ribbon color options and other images. The first custom order for a mortarboard image came in yesterday also.
3 sample cards showing actual color

The air and fire elements have been completed for awhile. Just need to get in gear for water. There it is, short simple and to the point.
UPDATED 5/3: final Air artOfficial Shop Announcement
One of the Art Directors I work with, AR, is starting her own shop too! This jewelry is incredible… simple, elegant and, most importantly, FUN! Easy to dress up or down. AR brought about 10 or 15 pieces in last week to work for a soft opening sale (yes, we have the best boss)… and left with 3 or 4.
Officially announcing the opening of my online shop,
metalME™ - jewelry with a cause.
metalME™ - jewelry with a cause - will allow you to purchase a fun piece of jewelry and at the same time, donate to a worthy cause.
My first line of jewelry is called
Wire Whiskers™
10%
of sales from Wire Whiskers jewelry will be donated to a
no-kill animal shelter
. More lines of jewelry and other worthy causes to come.
This is a work in progress, so check back often to see what's new!
Be sure to pass it on to anyone who might be interested!
Thanks for checking out my shop!

New Inspiration
Images provided by commons.wikimedia.orgThe illustrations were completed by John Tenniel for both "Through the Looking Glass..." and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Once everything settles, I hope to create a couple of pieces inspired by the art and the story.
Project #2
As some know, I move into my first "Big Girl" apartment at the beginning of the month. All of the walls are white and the carpet, beige. Obviously, it needs a little color. The bathroom became a combination of Tan/Camel, Chocolate Brown, a pastel Teal and a deeper Teal, all thanks to the Shower curtain. I'm going to carry this combination, or at least the Chocolate and Teals, into the studio space through new basket drawers and some handmade art.
In case you didn't guess from the image, the piece is going to be a triptych. All of the dark areas will be a deep Chocolate brown 80t weight paper; the medium shading is a deep Light Blue (the company calls it "Ocean Mist"...it's almost the color of my car) in the same weight; and the lightest/white area will be a Carmel/Camel, same weight. The final size before framing is 7.5 inches x 24 inches each. The center one (Bubbles) was started last night. More posts to come with updated pics.
Quick update: The cards are coming along nicely. It's just a matter of what to package them in at this point. Upcoming posts will include more info about the cards and a field trip B and I took last Saturday to the Contemporary Arts Center and the Illinois Antique Center.
