One monkey and a whole lotta bears

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Well, in case anyone has been wondering where the heck I’ve been and why I haven’t posted here in months, here is the reason:

yes, I have been making bears, bears and more bears! They are finally on their way to Manhattan where they will appear in the Tedde shop at Bryant Park. If you are in the city, stop in for a look-see!

So there is the biggest reason, aside from general laziness, haha. In publishing news, I have FINALLY finished the cover for Miss Tutu’s Star, yaaaaay!!!! A relief to have my part of that project finished, for sure. You won’t find it on the shelves until next fall, but look for it then. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you when it comes out!

The Open Studios at the Mill at Salmon Falls is this weekend, so I’ve been struggling to get things done for that, agh! This year’s ornament is an elephant, Enid and her Precious Peanut. They will be few and far between (see reason above) but I have tried my best to get enough done for people, and here are some preview photos:

My daughter Erin will be selling her cute wares there too – check them out here!
For more information about the mill and the artists there, you can visit their website: millartists.com.

In other news, the lovely Brooke featured my muppet prints in her blog a couple of weeks ago. Check it out here. Thanks, Brooke!

Open studio pictures

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Thought I’d post some pictures from this year’s Open Studio Days. i was joined this year by my darling daughter, who was selling her Chubbikins and prints (see her website here and here, and her blog here!)

A lot of people came through, and seemed to be buying books this year. As might be expected in today’s economy, the ornaments were not exactly flying out the door – of course this year I made tons of them, haha! Oh well, such is life. You will probably see them pop up in my etsy shop soon…
