Good Day.

I am having a very good day so far. This morning I drove my friend to drop off her car, so she bought me Starbucks. Then I finished up some necklaces that I was working on. The owner of Treebones Resort in Big Sur bought 6 "Yurt Necklaces" for the gift shop.

Here they are before I applied the clear coating:



















I also finished up a necklace a HS friend ordered
for her little sister who loves foxes:



















I also got a couple more necklace orders, and I started working on a new painting that I love so far! You will have to wait to see pictures of that.

I also got a painting in the mail that my beautiful sister Mary painted!

I have not gotten any housework or "real work" done today, but that can always wait until tomorrow.

God is good, have a wonderful day!

Necklaces

Well, I have been taking a small break from painting on canvases, because I have been selling handpainted necklaces Left and Right! Since I started making them on Friday, I have sold about 18 of them! (Including all 3 of the ones pictured in the post below). Thank you everyone who has purchased a necklace! If anyone else would like to buy one, just let me know what you would like on it, and I can do it for you.

Another special order that is sold (I actually did 2 of these!):

"Magnolia Flower"

Etsy!

For years people have been telling me to sell some stuff on etsy.com, and today I finally listed a few things! I will soon be posting paintings as well. Here is a sneak peek of my newest craft, hand painted necklaces, and to see more check out my etsy account. http://heatherkent.etsy.com/

Little Boy from Uganda

A good friend of mine recently returned home from a missions trip to Uganda, and she took the most amazing photos. This picture of a small boy inspired me to paint it.

Margot

Because this blog will be pretty much devoted to dogs, and art, and the combination of the two, plus some other stuff, I thought I should post something dedicated to my darling Bull Terrier Margot. Also, check out the video of her doing her tricks!

Hand Painted Cakes

I wanted to post a quick blog about the new dessert studio in Long Beach, Sweet and Saucy Shop. Melody does incredibly beautiful wedding cakes, desserts, cookies, cupcakes, cakeball lollipops, and more. Not only are they gorgeous, but they are amazingly delicious. I have had the opportunity to work with her, creating extremely personalized hand-painted cakes! Here are some pictures of a couple I did with her. Check out the rest of her creative desserts at http://www.mysweetandsaucy.com/! Now I am craving one of her amazing Espresso Kahlua Cupcakes!

"The Peacock Cake"

You can't get much more personalized than that!

Another cake for the front window of her shop.
