Monstrous Possibilities

I've been a doodler all my life & have recently been "inspired" to get back to the drawing board.  Have begun creating cute monsters for pendants.  I'm LOVING the results so far and hope to add to the monsters I've created in the near future.  There are 2 monsters already on pendants; the one eyed flyer & imaginary guitar player.  

Here they are:

 Will post new "monsters" as they are created. 

It's my turn!

So often I'm using other artists' work in the pendants I create, but this time, I decided to use my own! 

Years ago, back in my teaching days, I took a painting class at Funky as a Monkey studio.  (Man, that place was great & I hated seeing it close!)  It was the first actual painting class I'd ever taken and I painted a canvas that is currently in my son's bedroom since it's ocean themed.  Here's part of the actual painting.

Decided to try out turning some of the fish into pendants & here's the result.

I'm really happy with the final product & hope that others will enjoy wearing my little fish.  :)

We've been FEATURED!

Jen & I are so excited to be featured in Laura Barbosa's blog!  http://laurabarbosa.wordpress.com/  Laura's featuring one artisan a month to spotlight how they are using her work in their creations.  Sweet Whimsy is the FIRST artisan to be featured!  So exciting!!! 

Here are some of the pendants we've created so far that feature Laura's work.

(We've actually created more than this, but just haven't gotten around to taking photos of all of them....yet.)  

Laura's paintings are everything from realistic to surreal to contemporary.  She's such a talented artist and we love that we can help share her work with the world through our pendants!
