He Would Go to Any Length... Or Height...

This is Fraz:
He is a sneaky little cat..
And he will go do any length... or height... to find new treasures for the ones he loves.
This is not a treasure (even if Fraz thinks it is):


This is the nervous little sparrow that is trying to blend in to his birdhouse.
I don't think it's working.


Although... that branch doesn't look so stable...

What's Yours Is Mine, What's Mine Is... Mine.

Yay! Just finished a new set of hand-painted coffee mugs, and I'm really proud of them! I meant to take pictures of the process, but sort of got swept into working on them before I remembered. I did manage this:

And now you can check out the mug set:

La Chat

A couple new finished pieces for your eyes to feast on!


These are a couple cats from my La Chat series. They end on eBay in 9 hours! :)

Cats are interesting subjects - intelligent but kind of funny. My husband HATES cats (aside from when I draw them, of course), but I think they are intriguing. He doesn't like their difficult attitude, but I kind of like their independence and sauciness. I have owned several cats growing up and one dog.

Give me some love and let me know what you think!
