New listing for my Day of the Dead and Skull lovers!

Evolving Art turned into a Spiky Wall Plaque.

If you know me or have been following me on Social Media, 

you know how much I love Skull Art, especially Sugar Skulls

from Day of the Dead!

Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and by Mexican Americans living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.

This item was created with one of my popular prints, archival mounted, Spiky tacks attached to the perimeter and sealed with many layer of UV Artist Grade Varnish. This item is gorgeous with its jewel like finish! Ready to hang and available here.

Just in time for Back To School

Just listed three NEW Desk Organizers to my Etsy shop!

 Decoupaged and embellished with some rubber stamps.

 Decoupaged with trendy geometric patterned papers.

This one was painted with many layers of Chalk paint and lightly sanded to reveal the original naif flowers painted on the organizer. Very Shabby Chic! Thanks for taking a look!

Nothing like a cool refreshing cocktail on a HOT Summer Day.

My favorite drink to cool me down, is a Cape Codder.

This is How I make my version:

• 1 1/2 oz  Vodka
• 3 oz Cranberry Juice or (Strawberry Lemonade)
• Squeeze a teaspoon of Lemon Juice

• Add some Ice
Pour all the ingredient into a cocktail shaker

And Shake, Shake!

Pour into a DOF filled with Ice and garnish with a Lemon Wedge.

Hits the spot every time...

Like the Star Shaped Coaster I am using? See how I made it here.
