This client recently contacted me because she wanted to get henna on her pregnant belly. I had henna on my belly when I was pregnant but had not had the opportunity to henna someone else, so I met with her that week and henna-fied her belly! :)

I haven't posted anything in a long time! But I think having a baby is a good excuse. This is a caricature I drew of her and used to make some cards for family.

These are a few of the drawings I did last week at the Kalahari. I had the privilege to draw a very nice lady who is almost 90 years old. This opportunity doesn't come along often, so I really enjoyed drawing her caricature.

These are the outdoor signs and chairs that I painted for the new mexican restaurant opening in Bellevue, Ohio. The murals I painted inside the restaurant are in a previous post.
There are 5 different designs with a total of 76 paintings on the booths and chairs. Each sombrero and maraca is unique.

I'll post a photo of the outdoor signs again after they are mounted outside the restaurant.

I didn't have much time to take pictures during spring break, but these are a few I managed to get when there wasn't a line waiting.

Easter Eggs

2009-04-12T09:23:00.001-04:00

My husband, mother-in-law and I painted Easter Eggs yesterday. My mother-in-law would rather be doing this activity with grandchildren and used the activity to drop those hints. We'll see what we can do ;)

Mexican Murals

2009-04-05T13:56:00.003-04:00

2009-03-22T02:25:00.002-04:00

I haven't drawn at my caricature stand in about a month (I've been at Jewelry), but today I did! A Lot! I like being able to switch back and forth. Right now we are busy with Spring Breaks and I'm working almost everyday so the slight change in environment helps me keep my sanity :)

2009-03-16T19:43:00.002-04:00

Here's a necklace I made today at the Kalahari Resort.
It's KATELYN written on a grain of rice inside a glass charm with glitter and a mini flower inside.

"Shaena" sterling silver wire

2009-03-11T09:36:00.007-04:00

These are my political caricatures done before the election. The black and white sketches of Obama and McCain were some of my very first caricatures. The McCain one doesn't look much like him, I'll need to get a lot better to draw him well. We had the b/w Obama sketch on display at Kalahari and someone bought it, so I no longer have the original. My favorite of these drawings is Palin. My references for her were from a T.V. Guide pic with her and Tina Fey playing her, so she's kind of a mesh of the two. She is Adorable! I did have her on display before the election and someone did ask about buying it, but they did not. I never got around to drawing Biden. Perhaps someday...

Family Caricature

Wine Glass Charms

2009-03-05T13:17:00.005-05:00

Here is a newer item that I offer on ebay but have not had a chance to list on my website. They are wine glass charms with a grain of rice inside. They can be personalized with names, words or dates. I am also making them for wedding favors with the date and couples names written on the rice.

This photo was taken by the small water fall next to our kiosk inside the Kalahari Resort...not inside a cave as it may look like in the picture :) lol

Funny Kid

2009-02-28T14:35:00.001-05:00

So this kid today is buying a name on rice necklace and thinks it is absolutely hilarious to try to tell me his name is John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt but he's laughing so much he can't even finish saying the name.
People like to tell me really long names that are not theirs all the time. This kid just got his first name written on the rice which is what people generally get but just to prove I can do it if that was really his name I did it. In the one picture you can see 'John Jacob Jingleheimer' and see 'Schmidt' in the other picture. (:

Wire Name Necklace

2009-02-27T17:06:00.001-05:00

Sweet! It looks like this blog thing just might work out. I will be at the Kalahari this evening so maybe I'll have time to post something I make today!

Rice Writing

2009-02-27T13:10:00.001-05:00

Here is my 1st attempt at mobile blogging. This was for an ebay order... it says "I love you Brandon" on one side of the rice.
