Facebook Fan Page

so i've been trying to get more exposure over on facebook, by way of a fan page, and devised a giveaway to encourage some followers. i'm sneaky that way :) when i hit 100, i'd give away a finished piece of jewelry. we hit 100 yesterday!!

my old-fashioned, but effective, 'random generator'

my expert draw assistant, bronwyn

stir 'em up good!

and the winner is....Melissa L.!

check out the sterling silver granulated earrings she won!

i'll be doing another draw when we hit 250, so let everyone know! and go to https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stacey-Maddock-Designs/267269758909
and like the page!
cheers!

The Sketchbook Project - part 2


my sketchbook is winging its way to the coast! posted today and should arrive in brooklyn early next week. there was something very exciting about mailing it. and apparently it was infectious. when we got home, my 11 year old, bronwyn, asked if she could do one for the limited edition project with me (due april 30th)! how cool is that?! so stay tuned over the next few months for pix of those books. but in the meantime, here are some more of the one that just left...

5/6 - Halifax, Nova Scotia 2010

7/8 - Eiffel Tower, Paris 2010

Wailing Wall, Jerusalem & Masada, Israel 1986

The Sketchbook Project

so i've been working on a sketchbook for the last couple of months, but this one is a little different. for one thing, it doesn't have any jewelry sketches in it. i've been participating in the The Sketchbook Project for the Brooklyn Art Library. The Sketchbook Project is a permanent collection of sketchbooks by artists from all over the world. at the end of april, the entire collection will be going on tour! i'll post the wheres and whens later. for now, the exciting news is, i'm finished! and with a week to spare, since the postmark date has to be before january 31st. the art library will also store the sketchbooks digitally, a link i'll share when i get it, but for now....
the cover and first couple of pages!
my drawing style tends to be a bit cartoon-y and i love colored pencils, so i had a lot of fun with this. the theme i chose was 'travel with me' and took inspiration from photos of places i have visited in my life. enjoy and i'll post a few more tomorrow!

front and back covers

1/2 - Himeji Castle, Japan 2010

3/4 - Las Vegas, Nevada 2009
