Headers lately

Somehow recently I’ve been drawing up lots of blog headers, for lovely ladies all over the world! They are lots of fun to do, and I owe google translate big time for some of our conversations! If you are in nead of a blog header design, hit me up – I’d love to work with you! Here are the most recent ones:

Que Mundo é Esse? - Vantagens (e desvantagens) de virar gente grande {What World is This? – Vantages (and disadvantages) of growing up - written by Mari Hallak, who lives in Brazil.

Labcoats and Liabilities – About the lives of a Certified Public Accoutant, a med student and their cat.

Not exactly a blog header, but rather a Facebook cover picture for Celi of Nova Vida, Vida Nova, she’s from Brazil, and lives with her family in Germany.

lace blog headerThis one is for Sonia, for her yet-to-be-created Etsy shop, Libelinea (translated, sounds like the word for dragonfly)! Stay tuned.

Besides blog headers, I’ve been busy with some tattoo designs (you’ll have to wait to see the finished results!), and today broke out the sculpey and crafted some little clay girls, and started some acrylic paintings on black paper. Feeling super crafty!

The 2013 Calendar is here! + a DIY set of monthly calandar blanks for you crafty people, you!

Whoo! I am in full-construction mode piecing together this year’s cute girl calendar, and here it is! They’re now up in the etsy shop, here, and of course will be with me at all the upcoming holiday craft shows in the next couple of months. I say this all the time, but I cannot believe how fast this year is flying by, and the holidays are just around the corner, along with all the cookie-making, mulled-wine, random gift-giving, and happy hibernation.

Every year when I make calendars, I scour the internet to see if I can find some simple, pretty monthly calendar blanks that I can download and use, never with much luck. Most free calendar blanks are kind of ugly, or not proportionate for my use, and I end up drawing my own out with my little brush and ink. This time I decided to whip some up in Photoshop, keep it simple, and share it with you guys, so you can make your own!

This is what they look like, all just in black and white, for you to color as you please. Also, there are no holidays, so you can add or ignore whichever ones you fancy.

Here is the download: 12 separate .jpgs.

2013 blank calendar months for you

Enjoy! I’d love to see what you guys can make with these.

Giveaway! Crafty book: Shrink! Shrank! Shrunk!

Yay!! Who wants free stuff? Crafty free stuff? Book-ish free stuff?

I have an extra copy of the book: “Shrink! Shrank! Shrunk!” by Kathy Sheldon, published by Lark Crafts, that needs a home! This book is a handy guide to making your own shrinky-dink jewelry, with over 30 unique projects created by 16 different artists (of which I am one!).

Artists featured: Jodie Anna, Elizabeth Baddeley, Anna Boksenbaum, Tamara Berb, Stasia Burrington (that’s me!), Heather Davidson, Jalene Hernández, Cathe Holden, Dana Holscher, Erin Inglis, Donna Mallard, Tonia MO, Jessica Poundstone, Stacey Rawlings, Cynthia Shaffer and Morgan Shooter.

By next week I will mail out this book along with two pieces of shrinky-dink plastic to one lucky person! How can it be you? Simply leave a comment here with the craziest thing you can think of that you would make/do with a piece of shrinky dink plastic, along with the best way to reach you. Anyone can enter.

On Friday, Oct. 12th I’ll pick a random winner! Good luck, and happy weekend!

If you feel like it, I’d be super grateful if go to the site and vote for me – it takes just a minute, and in the [extremely] off chance that I get into finals, there’s the possibility of art space show placement, art supply gift cards, consultations and write-ups. I’d be incredulous! And I’d have you to thank!
