pretty moment

You know how some things are so pretty, they stop you in your tracks? That happens to me a lot.

gift wrap

When you live 30 miles from everywhere, you learn to use what you’ve got. I had an emergency gift-wrapping situation and not much time to come up with something special. Small kraft envelopes, burlap, my tiny prints on twill, and twine were laying around from other projects and just fit the bill. You could achieve the same look using your own images on cloth or paper. I hope whatever’s inside is as cute as the outside. It’s been a while and I can’t remember! Shoud I be worried???

new art…and rain!

This has been a happy week for me…I’m finally squeezing in some time in the studio! Above, A Pair…

Doodle Doo…

Clementines…

This is a nice, rainy day to be inside blogging, etc. The creek that winds around our house is dry 99% of the time, but after two days and 2″ of rain, it is flowing and babbling. Oh, how I wish it were always like this! It is all the sweeter, though, because of the rarity.

This is old news, but it is taking me a while to get the hang of my new blog. Above, is our Atlanta booth…

here is our Dallas booth…

hello world!

Welcome to my new shopping site. The only thing that would make this better would be a little bell jingling when you walk in the door. But, instead, I’ll bring my little world to you. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, get comfy, and look around. Notice there are two sections for shopping: Prints and Wall Decor, where you’ll find gallery-quality prints, and Fig Marmalade, the line of home decor and gifts. Check the blog for the goings on at the farm and, of course, new art and product debuts.

Whether you are shopping for your home or a gift or just looking for beauty and inspiration, I hope you find it here.

{If you love my site and are looking for a great, I-can’t-say-enough-good-things-about-him web designer, contact James at Confit Designs. It has been wonderful working with him on this project and I couldn’t be happier with the results!}

Three on a Line

I’ve been in a whirlwind since August. Fig Marmalade, and all that goes along with it, has kept me busy. Anna and I went to High Point, NC in October and had a good show, met lots of great people and saw beautiful scenery. Now, to get ready for Dallas and Atlanta in January!

A new product for 2012 is acrylic prints. The image is printed directly onto the back side of clear acrylic so that you’re viewing it through the acrylic. They really are beautiful and lend themselves to a modern space or mix well with antiques. There are 12 images available and two sizes: 10″ and 20″.

And…a new website is on its way. These prints, along with some new items, will be up and running soon. Stay tuned!

>amber’s toms

My friend, Becky, who is turning out to be my best customer!, ordered yet another pair of toms, these for her daughter-in-law. Amber requested crowns and flourishes, a departure from my usual birds and butterflies. I was glad to get out of my routine and do something different. I think they turned out pretty cute and Amber needs good, cute shoes to chase after her cute, little toddler.

{I am really slacking in the picture-taking department. The lighting is terrible on these, and the last post’s pics were taken at Pack and Mail with my phone. Life is a little hectic these days.}

These toms were painted for a special little girl who likes birds, these colors, and dancing. I think she did an excellent job with the color palette and I hope she dances her way through life in her new TOMS.

Fig Marmalade offers two types of aprons: full aprons, made of ticking stripe, and utility, or half aprons, made of natural twill. My paintings are printed on the pockets. Both make the job or chore more pleasant!

Another Fig Marmalade product…Box Prints. I print an image of my oil painting onto canvas and stretch it across a 4 inch deep wooden frame wrapped in jute webbing. A great way to add color and interest to a wall or shelf. Especially nice in a grouping. You know the saying, “The cobbler’s children have no shoes?” Well, this artist has had no box prints displayed in her environment until last week. I am so very pleased at how they look on my studio wall. It makes me happy every time I walk in.
