Hello-Lucky Show

Here are some pictures from the Hello-Lucky show in the Heights. It's a very funky-good kinda place that has really eclectic goodies. 

The Heights Blog featured one of my matchbook birds in their blog. 

EEK Creepy Critters

The creepy critters will be coming out very soon!

Being Silly and Art

Jodie Gonzales asks the question..."What did you do to feel like a kid today"? Well, I walked around in my husband's shoes. They were clunky and SO big. My nine year old gave me this look like I was an idiot and asked me to take them off. I ignored the rude looks and snickers and did this because it reminded me of when I was a kid walking around in my Dad's shoes. He had these huge work boots and I got great joy out of doing it...go figure.

In other Jen related news, I wanted to share a close up of a new bird

I put it on one of Andrew's wood frames and it turned out lovely. The bird is all paper and the frame is papered then I used acrylics to color the background. I was with Adri Whitney at an antique store and I ran across a very old plant book. It was falling apart so I didn't feel bad buying it to disassemble and use the pages for some of my backgrounds.

Ta-da! Another happy bird sitting on a branch, waiting for a home.

Total Fact Randomness...Pigeons can reach speeds up to 100 mph. (where do they fly 100 mph? I always see them just sitting around).

Mariposa Studio Show

 Last night was the gallery show at Mariposa Studio and Iyollo Gallery. I really enjoyed meeting so many of the talented artist and supporters (great turn out). Here are some pictures I took before and during the event.

 Here I am with Jodie Gonzales...super duper sweetie. She and her husband are the owners of
Mariposa Studio.

(see the yoga painting? that's Jodie's awesome piece)

Here is some of my work...

Those two birds on the right are mine...didn't get a good picture of them both. Someone at the show asked me if the symbolism of birds is me trying to get free. No, I just think birds are pretty.

The show was from 7-10:00pm and it flew by because I was chatting with such great people. Here is one of the wonderful fellow artists I was able to spend time with. 

This is Brandi Reynolds of Joy Rebel Studio...isn't she a cutie?

I was so excited to get to meet her and talk about her photography. She drove all the way from Dallas to be at the show. Now, to those of you not from Texas, it doesn't seem that far to go from Dallas to Houston, but it takes around five hours...remember, Texas is big! Here are a few of her images to whet your taste buds...

Talented, huh? Here are links to her website and Etsy shop to see all the splendor she has for sale.




Total Fact Randomness- Did you know that Coca-Cola would 
be green if coloring was not added to it?

Well Endowed Mermaid!

This is a special request for a client Michelle who asked for a chubby mermaid. She certainly has the curves going on wouldn't you say? The finished piece has a special saying..."sometimes you just have to be a mermaid" it's a special saying between her and her sister.

Special sayings are the best! My dear friend Eleni and I have so many we can't keep track of them!

I remembered to take a few pictures of me working just for fun.

Last Three Tiny Text

I am done with the last three little 4x5's for the First Saturday Artist Market this weekend. These canvas are so small and fun to mess around with. I wish I could find this size in wood but no luck yet. If anyone knows of a place give me a heads up.
