Canvas Picture Holders

I wanted to add some non jewelry items to my website, but it's tough to know what might sell and what would be fairly easy to ship.  I love the canvas photo holders that I made originally, but they are too big to ship at a decent price, so I came up with some smaller versions.  I started with a couple different designs and hope to add more as I have time to make them.

Graduation Gifts

Three of the students that I work with at ECU are graduating this week.  I wanted to come up with some fun, special gifts.  I love themes, so I asked them each to help me think of a theme and then created a gift around that theme.  I was super happy with how they turned out!  I think this may be some of my best work so far! :)

Beach Theme...

Magnet Board with Finding Nemo magnets

  

Drinking glasses...I intended for these to look beachy...sand on the bottom, shades of blue for water, green for seaweed, and colorful fish...they look cool, but I'm not sure if the beachy part is obvious...

 I had to add some fun beach toys too :)

Big Bang Theory theme...

Magnet Board covered in quotes from the show with character magnets

I painted Sheldon's quote "Social protocol states that when a friend is upset, you offer them a hot beverage" on a mug and included some tea.

 I also painted a wine glass.  Sheldon would tell you to drink a hot beverage when you are upset, but Penny would tell you to drink wine ;)

 I saw this adorable kitty neck pillow at Target and immediately thought of the Soft Kitty song, so I knew it had to be part of the gift!

Friends theme...

I attempted to recreate the peephole frame that is on the girls' apartment door.  I LOVE how the Central Perk mug turned out!!  I was rather impressed with myself ;)

I also added some bubble wrap and a magic erase board...you'll understand if you watch the show :)

Thankfully the students were as happy with how they turned out as I was!! :)
