Free 2012 Owl Calendar Download

It's finally out. This is my 2nd year participating in the Owl Lover calendar download at My Owl Barn. This year there are total of 45 beautiful owl artworks for you to choose to customize you own calendar. The best part? It's free! Hoot doesn't like free stuff, right? (Haha... I tried.) : )

Sake Bottles and Tea Cup

I drew on 2 little sake bottles/bud vases and a tea cup over the weekend. I had no idea that it would take me a whole afternoon and into the evening just to finish these little guys. I like the blue color a lot; it reminds me of the traditional blue and white porcelain. Also this time I signed my name in Chinese; the character is pronounced "Chia" (which is my official name) and it means "home". : )

Floral Skulls Print

Thank you so much for all your kind feedbacks about my October wallpaper. A few of you have asked me if I have this one as a print, so I did it. It turned out quite nice even though originally it was designed as a desktop wallpaper. So here it is, just in case you are interested to hang it on your wall. :)

Ceramic Doodle Bowl

It is so much fun drawing on a blank bowl with a ceramic marker. I drew this one Sunday night, waited for 24 hours for the ink to completely dry and then baked it last night. It turned out pretty good (the actual piece looks way better than the photo). My goal is to take a lesson and learn how to build my own ceramic pieces in organic forms, but for now this is a fun thing to do. :)

Hallmarket 2011

Yesterday's Hallmarket was a success, and I had so much fun! Sharing a booth with my best buddy Mimi, we had many visitors and lots of positive feedbacks. Thank you so much if you made to the art fair and even purchased something from me. I now have a little extra money to replace a few drafty windows so hopefully I can stay a little warmer this winter. I am very grateful. Thank you and hugs!

Article on Guioteca

If you can read Spanish, there is a little article about me on Guioteca. :)

All done!

Yay!!! I finally finished all my doodle bowls/trays for next week's Hallmarket, 35 pieces total! Here are some of the last few pieces. I am almost ready for the art fair, but I still need to run the sweatshop a little bit more to make hundreds of buttons for my interchangeable necklaces and also print out bunch of prints. Almost done. Feeling good. : )

If you are in the Kansas City area on 10/1, please come over and check out the art fair. It will be good. I promise.

New Prints

Added two new prints to my shop this morning. I did two versions, one with black and white oil pastel texture and one in color. They will also be available during the art fair next weekend.

A Few More Pieces

Still in the sweatshop mode, I finished a few more pieces over the weekend and here are some of them. I love these vintage footed bowls; they are really cute and a little harder to find. I am almost done with all my doodle pieces, only 2 big ones left to do (a cake stand and a giant bowl). Also since my good friend's mom bought my previous one, I did another happy faces bowl in yellow. :)
