Combining Graphic Design with Jewelry Design

Among all the art that I do, fiber art - paper art - graphic art, jewelry design is one of my favorites. Recently I decided to take elements of my graphic design work to create pendants using shrink plastic (yes, shrinky dinks from the good old days). These little pieces of art are now available from my Etsy shop Barrel of Monkeys.

For these pendants I used a few of my TtV (Through the Viewfinder) photographs.

Owl for Abby

Title: Owl for Abby
Software: Illustrator
My niece Abigail recently had her 'Bridging to Brownies' ceremony. My sister asked me to design an owl for a tree to use as a prop for the ceremony (an owl is part of the Girl Scout story). I liked the little owl so much I decided to give him his own little world to reside in.
Congrats Abby! Love you!
