Badger Art
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011Apparently I am into weasels this year. I started illustrating my own book featuring a weasel, I created a otter print and now I am introducing my new Badger print. And yes, they are all in the weasel family. Badgers have a particularly bad rap. I think they are awesome creatures. Here is a video showing just how frinkin’ cute they can be , http://youtu.be/8Qn39LBQBL0 . The person in the video had a badger make a home at her home when it was young. They became friends and after about 2 years the badger left.
So if you love badgers and desperately need a some badger art please visit my Etsy store: www.badbird.etsy.com

August’s Embroidery Pattern – Some birds and stuff…
Monday, August 15th, 2011So sorry I am late with this month’s pattern. I’ve been terribly busy what with winning awards and selling a butt load of art. Greatness never rests (or maybe, no rest for the wicked, you choose).
I didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted to do for this month’s pattern so I dug into my archive of old drawings. What I found was an idea I had for a quilt. This quilt will never be made, so I thought, “Why not”? The birds are kind of modern-ish, but the “flowers” are based on a vintage quilt I saw a long time ago.
I am very curious to see what you guys do with this image. There are quite a lot of elements in which all kind of interesting needlework treatments could be used.
Have fun! And, remember, click on the image to get the full size pattern.
ps- I would like to thank a certain someone for not yelling at me for being late with the pattern. You know who you are….
Don’t Feed the Bears (& Artist).
Friday, August 12th, 2011A disturbing trend is starting to occur. When I meet fans of my art or blog they bring me cake. It’s my fault really, because I have written in detail about my love for the treat.
But here is the problem. I used to be almost 300 lbs and my back hurt.
I have lost 80 lbs so far in my attempt to save my back.
I can’t say no to cake. So please don’t give me any.
If there is cake around I can become a real nuisance.
Then drastic measures must be taken.
So please don’t give me cake.

When I turn 72 years old I plan to start the Year of the Cake. It will be 365 days of tasty cake eating fun.
This will be followed by the highly anticipated the year of the nachos.
