Mother's Day is coming! I have a few designs here, but I am working on a few new designs for the event. I also have a busload of tiles to work on at the moment, lol.
I have an order for Kathy Proehl and her gallery store in the Dallas area and I just got the good news a couple of days ago that I will get to include some of my tiles at the new James Dillehay store in Madrid, NM--Baraka Handmade--I have come up with a few SW animal themed designs for that, and then for the Union Avenue Fiber Art Gallery in Pueblo, Co, I am sending knitting and weaving themed animal tiles :) That's a challenge, and fun!
I'm also waiting on the outcome of my redone mural...crossing my fingers.
It's beautiful here in albuquerque today. Breezy and sunny and bright. Can't imagine living anywhere that doesn't have sunshine almost year round :)
I will put up some pics of the tiles I'm working on as soon as I can--right now they are in bisque state with wax resist applied on the design. These particular tiles include text. I am moving fulltime into tiles--have been selling dye sublimation tiles with my Blessing Art images for the past 4 years, and away from painting the small wood panel minis I originally did for the series. I have more than 400 designs now and I want to get a lot of them on tile that can be used for more durable projects--counter tops, tables, etc. The dye sub are great, but there are design/decor projects that they are not appropriate for.
I just received a note from a new website, Puppywishes.com that has a loving and wonderful method of training puppies! You should check it out. They have a book called, Puppy Prophecy that guides you through the process they use for training. I am going to start revamping my website with holistic animal products and information.
furry blessings everyone!

I have a friend who actually knits with her dog's fur. Where I am fighting the valient fight against dog fur in my house, she is saving it and wearing it.
Our Cairn Mo produces enough hair to clad a small country ! but it is not usable though. Also I think it would itch (I'm a coton type girl):-)
Exciting news on the tiles, Sharon. I have no clue how that whole process goes (maybe you could show us in a blog one day).
I wonder if my work would lend itself for tiles. Maybe I would have to change my technique. Sounds all very intriguing though.
Hi Erica :)
I live with 5 cats now and spend a goodly amount of time trying to rid myself of cat hair--not to mention the hairs that find their way onto whatever I'm working on...
If I could knit, who knows? lol
thanks corrie :)
yes--I think your work would be great on tile. I know I have to make very different decisions about what to include and how. I do like having something a little different to offer tho, besides prints and cards.
I would love to see the tiles if you decide to--let me know!
