AnnieBanannie's

Well I finally managed to get working on some art yesterday afternoon. It has been awhile since I’d done any painting, so I decided to incorporate some drawing with some painting. The result is Misty. I am starting to get into the whimsical style and see where that leads my work for a little while. I am going to bring her into PhotoShop today and add some other details that she needs before she is what she will be.

Let your heart sing – make some art today!!!

Toodles,

Yea!!!  I have finally worked out the problems with the glaze and the glass tiles.  That was a chore. I walked away from it for a few weeks and then decided to check on the coating for the photographic papers that I was using.  Sure enough that was the root cause with a reaction to the glaze that created a lot of the bubbling.  I am so happy!!!  These pendants will be featured in our AnnieBanannie’s store and we will have customizable options available.

This one is a customize painting that I did with a gunmetal finished backing and chain.  I really love the look of the gunmetal finish.  However, I find that my preference is for the antiqued brass finish on this pendant that I did using a vintage rose image.

I love antiqued things and the image and the backing pair very nicely here.  I will be adding two additional backing options and also bail options when we launch our web store.  I am hoping to have the store up and running this fall.

I am off to work on some screen printing this morning – I was going to cut some stencils for airbrushing onto a few shirts, but the weather is a bit gloomy today – so I think I’ll just work on some screen designs and pull ink onto some shirts instead.

Cio,

Well today on my agenda is getting my site forum up and running.  I finally got our contact form up and need to get that tested too.  We should hopefully be fully operational by August!!!  I am hoping that the weather will improve here so I can get out and gets some shots this summer.  I am heading out to Salem in late June and then will take a few trips to the coast hopefully in July and August.

I am hoping to have some new work posted at the end of June or early July.   It’s been difficult to find the time lately to work.  I am still planning to build an educational feature into the site – I haven’t quite mapped that out yet – but hopefully that portion of the site will be operational by sometime in early to late fall.

Ciao for now,

Kymmie

Yea!!! I will be spending most of this summer – weather permitting – outdoors shooting and indoors in the studio creating A-R-T!!! The last three years I’ve been bogged down with a number of distractions – and now FINALLY…FINALLY…getting down to the business of art!!! I plan on a variety of day trips to the coast – my goal will be to start at the southern coast of Oregon and work my way up to Portland. I am hoping to finally get to those lighthouses that I have been dying to photograph and paint. So hopefully this will be a productive summer with a lot of adventures along the way!!!

Toodles, Kymmie
