Pastel zinnia

probably 8x10".

pastel on paper.

I painted this back in July for my god-daughter, Olivia.

The flower came in my CSA bag from my farmer neighbor, Terri.

So sad csa is over for the summer...what a great way to get fresh and organic produce! Bea's first food was sweet potato puree from terri's farm.

Hand etched champagne glasses

Hello! It has been awhile since any entries. Life is good but busy. Beatriz, our 7..almost 8 week old baby is growing and playing and we are having the time of our lives.

I am still sketching and working on projects whenever a moment arises. Here are some recent etchings a client commissioned for wedding gifts. On the bottom of each glass the wedding date is inscribed and makes it even that much more unique and personal.

I am almost finished with the paintings for an upcoming children's book. Once complete, I will post some of those images if I can....not sure of publishing dates, etc.

Other fun projects include a series of stamp designs for a rubber manufacturer and more and more wedding calligraphy. I am glad to be busy, but there is not enough time in the day!

I'll be back soon with more goodies to share:)

Authentique • Inman Park

So many exciting things going on right now!

A few weeks ago I spoke with Candi over at Authentique ( a fabulous home decor boutique in a super cool part of Inman Park). http://www.shopauthentique.com/

Candi has incredible taste with such a fun mix of old and new. It is the kind of place that I could just move right into. I was thrilled that she was interested in my etched glass tableware and just this week dropped off several pieces for her boutique.

This weekend is the big Inman Park Festival--so if you are in the area, I highly recommend you stop by to check it out. She has super cool furniture, lamps, soaps and (of course) etched glass work by moi.

our sweet Bea

This cute little bundle has come into our lives and we could not be more thrilled. Beatriz was born April 5th and is absolutely amazing!!!

I said from the start this would be a blog just for work, but I had to share this big life changing news!

Welcome to the world my little Bea!

sorry for the absence....big big BIG project going on over here...very unexpected, too!

will post more about it next monday....

unfortunately I had to cancel my spot at the Suzuki market. I hope it went well - it was a gorgeous day...hope to do it next time.

Art Show at Suzuki

This is the banner/sign that just went to the printers...fingers crossed it prints nicely!

It is for the show this weekend. Details are listed in the previous post and below....

I'll be featuring just painting and pastels-with some silhouettes as well. No glass this time!

Also, Brad will be showing his latest adventure--soap! Smile Soaps & Detergents will make its debut. We have been testing it on friends and now it will be available for all to try! He has some fabulous, all-natural, 100& vegan soaps in a variety of scents. Detergent will not be available for this show, but will be ready to unleash soon!

Please come by and say hello!
