My newest cards all feature original hand paintings by yours truly. I loved experimenting more with gouache and creating various color palettes and floral patterns. Here are a few behind-the-scenes snaps of the designs while they were being painted. You can find all of the new cards in the shop here.

I am in the midst of designing new cards that will be released later this summer. One card in particular could not wait, though! I'm excited to share the brand new hand-painted Rainbow Dot Heart card that I released early following the Supreme Court's historic marriage legalizing gay marriage. Find it in the shop here.

One of my favorite products that I developed and recently launched is the assorted set of cactus flat notes. While the designs are an obvious nod to my company's name, they were also greatly inspired by a few trips I have taken to Big Bend National Park, Terlingua, and other areas of West Texas.
Each card features a hand-drawn cactus design. Then, to further set these designs apart, each cactus is hand-finished with gold paint by yours truly. Each card is truly one of a kind. They are sold as an assorted set of 8 cards - 2 of each design. You can them in the shop here.

I've mentioned here before that for about a year now I have been hand-painting porcelain pieces. It's something I've truly enjoyed doing, and I am so happy to share that I'm finally selling some pieces here in the online shop.
Previously, I've only sold my hand-painted porcelain items at craft shows or by custom order. I decided to share the pieces with a wider audience here after receiving such positive feedback about them during the various holiday shows I've participated in over the past month and a half.
The first item for sale is are small 3.5 inch gold dotted bowls. These little bowls were very popular at shows - all of them sold out within a few hours - so I've been busily painting more. They feature little gold dots all over - both inside and outside the bowl. I have a few in stock now and will be adding more soon. They are the perfect size for trinkets, nuts, or other little items. I use one by my bed to hold my rings at night and one on my desk to hold paper clips. They are food safe and dishwasher safe, too (although I recommend washing by hand). Here's a shot of me painting a bowl.
