LOL I had too much fun last weekend at Knit City and forgot to post the finished picture :-) This one was on of the more challenging pictures to photograph and edit.
My haul! I bought a bag from and filled it up with needle stoppers from , a pouch from and yarns from , .oki and
I chopped up the picture in Photoshop and liked this composition!
Compositing the last picture on the list! This one is a bit of a challenge. I'm going to move the cat to the forefront and put the dogs in the back. Stay tuned!
Hey there commissioner! I've been trying to get in touch with you since last year so I can finish your picture. Please contact me--I want to see the picture done, but I need your feedback :-)
Still in progress! I just need a few more reference photos to finish.

Flashback Friday to my proudest Stampede moment :)
I don't have any art in the Stampede this year, but do check out the Western Oasis where all sorts of talent is on display!
Almost there!
A bit stuck on background...it will come together!
Caught up on editing photos of finished orders this week :-)
Heading into the home stretch!
Trying to figure out how to make this face look less flat 🤔🤔🤔
Keep on keepin' on :D
Doh! As some of you may know, I've been hosting a craft sale calendar for years, and I've been faithfully updating it.
However, until someone emailed me, I didn't realize that no one could see it. The host recently did some backend migrations which may have affected it. I'll take a look, but there *are* lots of events in June around YYC!

! I'm really enjoying getting into the details now. Dabbling on white paint is a slow process though!
Working on the darks after dabbling on some whites :)
Just a pic before I start adding whites.
Much happier with the composition now :)
Trying to figure out the right proportions for the legs. Sometimes photographs distort space.
Taking a few steps back to fix some of the composition. It's a little off and I can't quite put my finger on it.
Just doodling around with Beans, Nyx and Ketsi today!
All photos have been received now, so there are just two and a half drawings left in the queue.
Puppers in progress!
Astrid in her coconut :) Sometimes an idea for a pet portrait takes on the third dimension!
Building up some darks. I always leave white areas and eyes until the end.
Back to work on this pair of puppers!
I have two pictures left, but I need to hear from my customers to finish them. I've been trying to get in touch--please message me so I can finish your portraits :)
Trying hard to NOT have FOMO at missing out on this year, but you can visit some talented folks I know like...
Awesome Sauce Designs ::: Art of Chris Thompson ::: Art of Luba ::: Artwork and Cute Things ::: Two Gargoyles Comics ::: Tooaquarius
Be sure to stop by and say hi to them!
Getting ready to glue everything down!
I found the sketch for Astrid's picture at work...all good ideas start with a sketch!
Astrid chilling in her coconut :)
Huzzah! Beren and Pumpkin are finished. The story is that Pumpkin is a total scaredy cat, so I thought of a picture that showed their dynamic, playing video games :)
