Well since my studio is not yet set up in the new house I've had lots of time to work on other forms of art that I have been letting slide. The biggest and only completed project so far is a series of eight horse head motifs that I not only drew but also digitized in PhotoShop in less than two weeks totally from start to finish. Now that may not sound like a big deal to some people, but for me that is a really quick turnaround on any drawing and add in the fact that this is the first time that I have drawn anything other than realistic style horses Once I had all the horses done I was left wondering what I was going to do with them other than let them sit in my portfolio where no one other than myself would see them. So after I did a little research I went ahead and opened a CafePress shop http://www.cafepress.com/pydcustoms
and now all my drawing are available on a multitude of products. Now to only have a few spare dollars(in other words I REALLY need to stop buying plastic ponies ) to buy some of my own stuff
The other thing I've been working on is getting back into quilting. I finished a king bedspread top that I had been working on for well over a year, now I just need to back, tie and bind it, the only thing holding me up is some alterations that need to be made on my quilting frame so that it will accommodate a quilt of this size. I also made a quilted tree skirt and matching table runner in a spiral pattern, seeing as some how, during the move we lost the tree skirt that we had I've also ventured into the realm of applique. I made three simple applique wall hangings that I gave away as Christmas gifts, the next applique projects on my to do list is this cute dragon baby blanket that I want to do for my nephew and if I can find a simple enough project a horse themed quilt for my niece. Now to only get my studio set back up so that I can start creating new horses too.
