B!!!

this is the second piece commissioned by the customer mentioned in the blog below. i hope her daughter flips out when she sees this B. i just LOVE it!!! and really really need to do more. initials are still popular at harts n crafts and it'd be so cute to hang one, three for a monogram, or even spell out your entire name with these canvas letters. this B is on a 24x30 canvas which is quite big, but i think they'd be cute on our smaller 16x20 as well. keep this in mind for dorm decorating this fall!!!

I'M WILD ABOUT BORDERS!!

what a great idea. i wish i had thought of it myself! one of my good customers ordered this canvas for her daughter's room. i will definitely have to start adding zebra borders to more pieces of art. i LOVE how it turned out. and this is one of our best selling quotes. it's perfect as a graduation gift, both from high school and college, as girls who have been friends forever are going their separate ways but know that they will always be in each other's lives.

SAY YES TO SUMMER.

nothing crafty. just a pretty cute picture of aaron and me. last night we went to opal divines to hear our friend tyler jordan sing. you can check out his myspace at: www.myspace.com/tylerjordanrock.

THE LONGEST QUOTE EVER!!!

the subject says it all. wow. i didn't think i could fit this many words on a 16x20 canvas. i did a pretty good job of planning and measuring and squeezing in just enough words on each line. I LOVE THIS QUOTE!! and made a second one to hang in the store as an example for custom orders. are you interested in one? get yours in any colors for only $59!!

VERTICAL WORDS

a sweet lady named mary jane ordered these vertical words to sell in houston. her daughter goes to memorial high school and she thinks they'll be a hit with the high school ladies. i surely hope so. i think they turned out really well. mustang and all. good thing aaron is a professional artist and can draw pretty much anything. we're looking for new challenges! want something painted on a sign? we can do it!

ME HOME COMPANION

mary engelbreit is pretty cool. she's an illustrator and designer and crafter extraordinaire. we sell her magazine, Mary Engelbreit Home Companion, at Harts N Crafts. if you love crafting or are looking for decorating inspiration for your home or apartment, you should really check out this mag! every month it seems like she chooses a different color palette for the entire magazine. this journal is derived from the march/april magazine full of pinks and greens and fun spring colors. of course i LOVE it!!!
