King Crab

a new aceo on ebay, titled King Crab. took a little break from the alphabet to return to the crustaceans :) have a great day!

D is for...

finally got letter D done!! yeah! i've been swamped with jewelry work and neglecting my drawings. this one is currently for sale on ebay. happy creating!

Yeehaw!

well its that time of year again...for the calgary stampede! the entire city goes cowboy crazy! your accountant is suddenly decked out in full regalia, right down to the spurs on his boots. calgary really gets into it, with free pancake breakfasts all over the city, every day and every window downtown decorated with bucking broncos and bullriders. not to mention the excitement of the chuckwagon races! we live a short distance from the grounds and are able to watch the fireworks from our window every night. of course, if you're trying to go to bed early it can be a little annoying :) all in all, i LOVE stampede! the entire city becomes one big welcome mat and people from all over the world come to enjoy. check it out and maybe come for a visit to beautiful alberta: http://calgarystampede.com/

Bzzzzzzzzzzz!

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, its a.......MOSQUITO!!!! cripes, they really are out in force here! i have a bite on my leg that, i kid you not, is as big as a jam jar! itches like the devil. tried to take the kids to the park. the playground is surrounded by grass, which i knew contained hundreds of the buggers. we had our bug spray on though and i thought for sure once we reached the safe oasis of the slides, the swarm would disperse. we ran full-tilt across the field and arrived completely surrounded! and the swarm didn't disperse! we turned tail and ran like something out of an indiana jones movie. back across the field yelling, "run for the car!" and waving at my husband to get the doors unlocked and ready to get the kids in! once we had killed all the strays and were safely in the car, we laughed, but before that....not so much :)

F is for....

new one on ebay. letter F this time. just had to buck the system and go out of order! have a great week!

Illustration Friday - Rain

this is an older piece, but so perfect for this week's theme, i had to post it :) titled "Stormy Night".

Illustration Friday - Dance

C is For....

yea, got C done!! heavens i'm slow these days! this one is currently available on ebay.

Dad's Day

Happy Father's Day! to all you dads :) it has been an incredibly busy week! last weekend was my spring show. it was a fantastic success and i am already looking forward to my fall show! i showcased this pendant made out of pmc clay and african turquoise beads. i hope to get some more drawings up soon too. can't seem to get the letter C finished! hope everyone is having a great week! cheers, stacey

B is for...

just listed 'B' on ebay. i'm having such fun with this letter theme! if you'd like to see a particular letter, just let me know! cheers :)

A is For...

well, i 've been more than a little slow getting new work, or even a note, posted here! sorry about that :( things have been crazy busy with visitors and getting ready for my spring show on june 10th. the kids factor in there somewhere too!

at any rate, this is a new series of aceo's that i've been developing for a while now. each one is comprised of 5 or more little 2unds (that is drawings smaller than 2 inches). i started with A (an obvious choice you might say) and will continue with letters as fancy strikes. hope you enjoy them! this one is available on ebay until tuesday.

cheers and have a great weekend!

Seasonal Colors

i adore the changing of the seasons! sadly, here in calgary, we don't get the full 4 every year. it's mostly winter and a couple months of summer. but right now it is definately spring and it is glorious! happy spring everyone!

Illustration Friday - Fat

thought i'd stick with this whole ocean theme i've got going on. seemed only fitting to do a puffer fish, showing being fat can really come in handy! this is another mini too, 1" x 1", which will be up for sale on ebay on monday the 8th.

Illustration Friday Part 2 - Under the Sea

ever wonder what really goes on under the sea? crab theatre of course! this one is titled Crab Act and will be available on ebay on monday. cheers!

Illustration Friday - Under the Sea

well this month's theme for the lounge link, mermaid, was particularly challenging for me, i just don't do people very well. and so i opted to do the absolute smallest person i could! this little mermaid is only 1"x1" and is currently available on ebay. coincidentally it also fit perfectly with the illo friday theme, under the sea!

Hermit Crab

i've been feeling crabby lately, can you tell?

Lone Crab

just posted this little 1x1 on ebay...

Offspring

well, i had so much fun on daggie and harold, i thought they should actually hook up for the long term. they work fast! here is their offspring! it's anybody's guess if it's a girl or a boy!

Illustration Friday - Monster

Daggie and Harold: When Monsters Go On the Prowl

Can't you just see the ad? :Single purple male seeks single green female. Conservative, but not afraid to have a good time."

these started out as fingerprint art, but you can hardly see the fingerprints anymore! both of these are a mere 1"x1" and will be available as a set on ebay.

Crab Cakes

these crustacian connisseurs are currently available on ebay.
