Spring?....
Well, lately, with all of the snow, it is certainly hard to believe that it is Spring here but we are well on our way to Summer and that is all I care about.  My latest artistic endeavor was donating my time and thus, artwork to EcoSuperior's Rain Barrel auction.  Each year, artists have an opportunity to enter a contest (only top selling item gets a prize) to paint a rain barrel at the Annual Spring Home and Garden Show here in TBay.  This year I participated and so did my pal Ashley!  Both of our masterpieces are pictured below!

Mine.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!...
One resolution?  To be better at posting here!  The holiday season was low key for me this year; I didn't participate in any shows and instead took on some small commissions (pictured below).  This upcoming year though, I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and take on every show I possibly can.

Additionally, I also worked on a project that some friends were working on; I did the lettering, outlining and embellishing, someone else did the cutting, sanding and Grinch hat.  Here are some progress shots and the final product:

Finally, the Minions were made by someone else but I did the name signs and lettering:

Lately...
Last weekend, I had a table at the Mother's Day Women's Market at the Coliseum in Thunder Bay.  There were a lot of events the same day so we didn't get the foot traffic I was hoping for but it was still nice to see some familiar faces and some other crafters that I know.

New Items In The Works...

A surprising amount of my Art Print, Hand-Cut Stickers sold last weekend so I made more of a very recent drawing- an intricate art feather that I finished drawing just a couple months ago.

Some of the pictures are a bit blurry because my phone doesn't always pick up images well in dim lighting.  The first image is the original scan.  All in all, they turned out pretty well.  They retail at $2.00 per pack (which also includes some ART by: Cat Free stickers).  

Private Sales...

Find me on Facebook "ART by: Cat Free" the page (not the group- long story) and get in touch privately.  And, hopefully, my stores will all be up and running shortly.  More on that soon.
