Hirshel

This is one of my all-time favorites from our collection of art--most of which is our art because we are poor artists. The deer mount is from the 1930's and was found in the first classroom that I taught in in rural South Dakota. Johnny rescued it, attached a hot air balloon to the left horn, and made a painting/screenprint that mimics the sculpture. The picture doesn't do it justice, but I absolutely love it and I think its one of the only works that I will never be able to part with.

Nice Colors

Just Sketches

These are some sketches that I (Stacie) have been working on for a new print series. I started the "this way" series as small paintings but realized that I would like to make them larger and transform them from paintings to screen prints. I am now waiting for my pink lemonade french paper to arrive before they are printed. This series is really intriguing to me and was somewhat inspired by the directional flow of the wind and how it is documented on weather maps. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Happy Sunday Funday.

Happy Valentines Day

Johnny made me breakfast this morning
Blueberry pancakes with strawberries
The whip cream was a treat
& a beautiful pink napkin
It looked very pretty
It all tasted good
I love him

Deer by my Dear

This is our small, magenta, (flocked!!) deer mount that was hand-sculpted and just recently finished mostly by Johnny with a little sculpting help from me. The body of the deer is plaster cast and the antlers are cast using a plastic resin. There is also an embedded brad in the back of the mount for easy hanging. Oh, and did we mention it's totally awesome and we can't believe how great it turned out! Go check it out on our etsy site.
