And then....

I think my latest two necklaces turned out pretty good. I'm excited to see if they get any action in my store. They're so much fun to make, I almost don't really care if they sell (wait....yes I do).

Mr. Pants

So i've been tagged! Three times! Bellacolle, Didigaldecor, and Helen at Pepperina press! So here we go.....

rules:
* Write 7 random facts/habits about yourself on your blog

1. I love my little kitty, Johnny! His full name is Johnny Poo Poo Pants, but you can call him Johnny Bear, Mr. Pants, or Johnny Cat. I prefer Mr. Pants. He's a cutie sweetheart that sometimes bites. Actually, he always bites, but he gives you fair warning my purring and licking you first.

2. I'm single, in the sense that I'm not married. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost six years and we plan to live happily ever after. :)

3. I'm addicted to seafood. Shrimp, salmon, scallops, muscles, clams, oysters, tuna, lobster, etc. I'll eat any and all of it until my pants don't fit.

4. Today, green is my favorite color. It changes often, but I'm in a spring timey mood today.

5. I hate when you go into a public restroom with a million open stalls and the next person to come in sits right beside you. Ahhhhh!

6. When I was in 2nd grade, my teachers had me draw a picture of the school building. They said it was the most beautiful one they ever seen, and I was so talented, and so on...
The school decided they would make a field day shirt out of it for all the students to wear. Then they asked me to sign it, so I nervously wrote my name on it in permanent marker and went back to class. When the shirts were printed and everyone had one, I realized that I put a backwards capital P at the beginning of my name. The parents laughed at it and joked that I was so creative and talented that I was making up my own alphabet. That was the worst day of 2nd grade.

7. Hmmm.....number seven. This better be a good one. My favorite beer: Dos Exquis. My fav mixed drink: Filthy martini, no vermouth.

More MOre MORe!

Blah! I'm all painted out. I've been painting all day and i'm pooped. But before I crash the couch for the day, I figured I'd post one that I finished today.

The view outside my window

Introducing my newest painting! I just finished it last night. It's a view from outside the window in my studio/dining room. It was a really pretty day yesterday, but it's been raining so much lately, so I decided I'd do my interpretation of a rainy day in the spring time.

Business cards for me!

Here's a peek at me new business cards. I designed and printed them myself. They're on the back on my mess up prints of my paintings. I figured I'd recycle since the paper is expensive and I didn't want to just throw it away. It makes it kinda interesting. You get a business card on one side and a piece of an art print on the other. Fun!

So it's Friday and that means the weekend has officially started! Cheers to all celebrating Cinco de Mayo tomorrow! I will have to find a sombrero or poncho to wear out tomorrow. Or maybe not. I'll just stick to drinking Mexican Beer. Have a happy and safe weekend!!!

Finally finished some necklaces!!!

Wooo Hoooo! I'm so excited. I've been working like a sweat factory the past two weeks to get these necklaces perfect. I think they're done for now, but I'm sure I'll be making little tweaks and changes soon enough. You will be able to find them on Etsy in my shop for now. I just listed the one on the far left tonight. I called it Green Leafy Pendant Necklace. I think I'll take a break for now and watch last night's episode of LOST. I can't believe I missed it. A huge storm knocked out our power last night just at the same time LOST came on. I was sad, but we played Clue and told ghost stories in the dark instead. I had a good time.

Tinkering around with new ideas

Last weekend I decided I needed to do something new. So I went to the HOBLOB (Hobby Lobby for those of you who don't speak my gibberish) and found supplies to turn my prints into necklaces. I think they turned out great. I made four total, and gave away two to a couple of friends to let them test them out. I already know a few tweaks i need to make before I make any more.

Fresh Saturday Post

Hi welcome to my new blog!
I'm Pamela Michelle, a graphic designer in Dallas, TX. I've been working on some paintings lately that I've been posting on Etsy, your place to buy & sell all things handmade, and I've been having a blast. I've turned my dining room into a studio space, where i make a huge mess painting, and cutting my prints. Oh well, it's not like I have formal meals in there anyway.
