Creating for family

Shhhhhh, don't tell them what they're getting for Christmas!! Special orders from a friend for his family. Shhh

Iowa City gig

What a blast and a success! I am very sad however, that I didn't get any good pictures of the other artists stuff! I'm not quite sure why, they were all very talented and amazing. I thought I did, but perhaps my camera ate them.  That day was a blur!! Thanks to everyone who showed up and has become a fan.  I really appreciate it!

I'm working like a crazy elf today, trying to finish Christmas orders in time to mail them to their respectful new owners!  Ho ho ho.

TOO MANY!! WINDOW SALE!!! (seriously, I have too many!)

So upon loading my car TWICE today, I realized that I most certainly had too many windows.  What a shame.  The remaining ones that don't fit in the car must find a good home soon! Here are a few that would make a great Christmas gift (prices are marked or make me an offer!)  They must go! (really, I have no room!) 

 ($40)

 ($50)

($40) This one isn't brown anymore, for some strange reason the brown ink turned a pinkish color, but it still looks cool! 

Goodbye and Hello!

 Today I say goodbye (but a very happy goodbye) to these three fine pieces of work.  Three of my very favorites! They are going to be Christmas presents and a house warming present.  So to fill the void (really, there is no void.....seriously, windows coming out my ears) I made this guy today.....

Stationary ($75) It didn't turn out quite how I envisioned but I can live with it.  Let me know if you want it to be at a certain open house this weekend (Iowa City or Mt.Vernon!)

More poppies!

 This is a special order on a HUGE window for family in Iowa City.  I can't wait for them to hang it up!

This bad boy is for sale! It is on a 125 year old window from the Amana Colonies (sealed) and is $100. It would make the perfect Christmas gift.
