This was fun! My daughter had a few friends with birthdays recently and this popped into my head as a fun and functional gift. My daughter loves her play jewelry, but the jewelry box seems to get cluttered really quickly! I thought these knobs on the letters would be a fun way for the girls to hang their favorites for easy access! Seriously, every 4 year old must accessorize!

Business Logo Hand-Painted for Display
There is something about having a hand-painted piece of artwork with your logo that says you mean business! It can be displayed anywhere to catch the attention of clients and allow them to remember your name and logo with ease while you make a great impression.
It is important to have your logo visible multiple times in different locations and ways for your client to have a better chance of remembering the name of your business.
This is an 11'”x 11” wood plaque with the logo as seen on the business card. There are many options available depending on the style of your logo. Contact me to discuss options for your business!
Custom Canvas 36”x 36”
A gift for a family member. They saved a magazine page for me with a similar painting and asked me to paint it. This is a giant canvas 36”x36”, and it has a fantastic presence when hanging in just the right space! It was really fun to create since it is a little different than my usual requests.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
We had fun this past week making Valentine heart crayons for my daughter’s classmates. It happens to be 8 little girls so making them into a necklace was perfect for them. Glitter, jewels, glue, buttons, hearts….oh the fun of being an artist! I didn’t get a picture of the heart molds, but we melted round ones too. I have a little more time these days being 6 months pregnant and on modified bed rest…..my daughter is loving it! Painting is keeping me sane! Enjoy Valentine’s and I hope you get lots of hugs and kisses today!!!
Here is a link on how to melt the crayons. We baked them at 300 degrees for 7-8 minutes instead of 150 for 15-20. I took them out right when I saw the last one melting so that the colors didn’t get so melted they became brown mush! Let them cool 5 minutes or until a toothpick can stand alone in it to make the holes. Also, if you use a silicone tray make sure it is meant for the oven and not as an ice tray!!!
