Time to Create!

Working on some projects today. Thanks to 

http://shelbynycole.blogspot.com/2011/05/create.html?m=1 for this piece of inspiration! 

I am working on an 11x14 pet portrait of a black lab named Gracie. I am just about done with it, just doing the finishing touches today! I will be selling it next week. And then I can move onto my big job and work o n some of the other smaller stuff on the side!

Busy bee time! ♡

Looking Good!

I've gotten a few pet portraits done recently! I will have to post pictures soon.

I also made an unexpected sale! A while back, I did a pet portrait of this dog that passed named J.D. His dad came into work with his new puppy (who is too stinkin' cute by the way!). I tried to give him the portrait as a gift, but he insisted on paying for it! That was not my intention at all, but it was so nice of him. He's such a sweet guy that loves his dogs so much! I am glad I was finally able to give him the portrait and I hope his family enjoys it!

I also walked into work one day and found out that I had 3 inquiries about pet portraits that day!

I have a new opportunity now too! Something a little different and big! I will explain later!      

Things are starting to take off. I'm surprised and so happy that I am able to do this! It's amazing!

The Yorkie Rescue Yard Sale

So, the yard sale went alright. It was a weird venue for my stuff, considering it was a yard sale...but I did hand out a few cards and got a bit of interest from people there. That was all I was really expecting, so yay me! :P

I've got about 4 portraits to do right now and hopefully they will be done soon!

I'm getting my Etsy shop ready for me to start adding my pet portraits up there for sale. And now I've got a bunch of cards and framed work; maybe I'll start getting into some craft shows or something!

Exciting Pet Portrait Opportunity!

Since I started doing the dog colored pencil drawings, I've gotten a few done and displayed at work. There has been a lot of interest from people!
I've already got 5, possibly 7, drawings to do that I will be paid for! And thats just at work, not even the ones i have lined up myself or with help from friends. This is so freaking exciting. I didn't expect to have this much reaction right away!
We finally set the pricing & got a flyer up. I'm going to be selling the 8x12s for $69 and the 11x14s for $99. I'm hoping this isn't too expensive. I don't think it is. From the research I've done and talking to people, it seems like a fair price to me. And also, my bosses are getting commission off of them, for the use of their credit card machine and the "display space" kind of idea, so I have to take that into consideration too.
I love the fact that I have the opportunity to sell my art somewhere & have gotten a response from it already.
I finished the JD picture. It turned out great! I'm very happy with it.
Woo!

Being Productive!

I am happy to say, I am actually getting some work done! I've gotten a few pieces prepped for starting, I've started sketching out my next piece, I'm finishing the background and finishing touches to my Nelli drawing...I'm so excited!
I've been taking a colored pencil class with my sister and mom for a few months now. Recently I just started a drawing of a dog at my work named Nelli. I'm just about done with it! Once I get a few or the dogs done, the owners o the company I work for are going to let me display them in the lobby for sale! I'm excited about this. Beside loving these dogs and loving doing the drawings of them, hopefully I'll get to make some extra money...which I desperately need to do!
Alright, update complete! Back to work!
