Calendar Giveaway!

I'd planned to do a post on Cursive Design and some other favorites of mine, but yesterday was an explosion of gettin' stuff done, so I have a lot of my own stuff to show. So Monday we'll drool over the colorful jewelry Sarah makes. Drooling is better suited for a Monday anyway, right?

Are you familiar with While She Naps? That was totally me yesterday: baby slung on my shoulder, deep in baby-sleep while I printed, scanned, colored and photoshopped away. For 2 solid hours I was doing the creativity hustle, and what do I have to show for it? The Winter Poster {and print, although I don't have that graphic on the site yet}!

I also begged Hi-C to get a shot of the calendar and he kindly obliged. Look at that--the 2011 calendar on a one-of-a-kind kindling shelf!

I know I'm whoring out the links left and right, but I'm pretty proud of how the shop is shaping up, so I want people to look at it!


And if you've made it past all the bragging excitement, I have a contest going! Vote for your favorite month's illustration {there are no right or wrong answers} for a chance to win one of our 2011 calendars! We're giving 3 away after the contest closes Wednesday, October 27.
Go now and Vote!

{PS--If you've had trouble opening the link, this link is the same survey.}

Oh 2011!

Here are couple more images for you! January in full white stag glory amidst a field of snow drops and pale Lenten roses. December full of nature's feasts for the critters outside, boughs of holly, slivers of silvery paper birch, and rosemary wafting room to room as dinner slowly roasts in the kitchen.

Oh 2011!

What do you see in the not-too-distant future?



{In 2 days the calendars will go up to full price. Hint, hint.}

New Sneak Peek and a New Look

Pardon the wonkiness of the blog while I tweak and snip and nudge and generally rearrange things. Ultimately the blog, home page and store will be integrated into a seamless Wolfie and the Sneak experience. Until then please be patient.

In the meantime, I present October {above} and a view of the full layout. I'd intended to have a photo of the calendar on display so you can get an idea of what yours will look like, but . . . the weather was perfect for playing outside all weekend.

Calendar Unveiling Part III

And we'll just skip on down to September. Shall we? Feathers falling in a rainbow of autumn hues, I started to wonder what the world would look like if trees had feathers and birds had leaves. What if feathers photosynthesized?
If I really thought about it long enough, I'd think it through to the point that the hypothetical me in feather-filled tree world would probably wonder what trees would look like if they had leaves and birds had feathers.

Now for the sales pitch--don't forget, the price goes up once the calendar is fully unveiled (that's 9 days away!) so get yours while the gettin's good!

And so we begin, the calendar unveiling! It's our 5th year putting out a calendar, and this years version is a return to the style of the first year: restrained palettes and pattern heavy line drawings with maximum use of negative space. It's been a nice, personal challenge and I think you're really going to like it.
What do you think? Are you even ready to think about a 2011 calendar yet?
