Frédéric's Return from the Savage Sea

Yesterday I helped put together the third installment of limited edition diorama lockets with Becky of becky's buttons. 

This time we decided to go nautical, a man of the sea was portrayed, the savage sea.  Meet Frédéric, he has just returned from a long trip dodging mysterious creatures of the sea and he's looking for some good conversation.

Frédéric is a signed limited edition of fifty and will be available soon, just in time for Valentines day, in Becky's shop.

Charles Wysocki

I found a Charles Wysocki print at a thrift store yesterday from a 1976 calendar. I took it out of it's office style frame, trimmed the matting and added some twine.

I have a secret new year's resolution to update my second etsy shop more often.

Also, I've re-added some oldies to my first etsy shop:

I'm so close to having things organized post studio move, I'm anxious to get working. 

(I've charted a cross stitched construction site I've been thinking about for months, and something else I hope will work involving computer technology)
