i don't know if i was taking crazy pills or what, but i decided to produce 2 craft kits for this next update! they are autumn & halloween themed (i think they are both so special and the styles are so different, they just could not be mixed into one kit!!) i had a fun and very bust week preparing them. :)
here are a few peeks at the new kits i have coming out tomorrow...
hundreds of tiny plastic ghosts for my first kit, "Ghost World". Each one is hand illustrated and made with (my new favorite thing in the world..) Shrinky Dinks! This collection has lots of black and white with bright & bold colors, all of your favorite halloween characters (ghosts, monsters, mummies and more...) and it's still sweeter than a bag of candy. :D
my next kit is called "Autumn Loves". It is full of rich earthtones, my favorite autumn characters (birdies, trees, leaves and of course... coffee cups!), some gocco love and the cutest little pillow patterns!!
I could share more, but I have to make you wait until the morning. :D The update is at 10 am here.
there will also be a few new original paintings and some Cider Days goodies I have been saving.
in other news, Mr. Larson has been downstairs playing piano for several hours (so inspiring)... i finally have internet!!!!!!!! & it's sunday. what could be better? xo.
oh, i'm so excited for your update! i can't wait to see the kits! Happy Fall!! enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Oh I love Shrinkie Dinks too! I remember drawing the tiniest pictures I could, when I was little, so that when they shrunk they were like pinheads! I still have some sheets SOMEwhere....
And I'm glad you're having fun with your gocco. I just made some stamps for the backs of my prints with mine. Thought you might like a peek!
Your little gocco birdie is gorgeous!!

I love that you decided to do both autumn and halloween- I love both the ghosts and birds so hopefully I'll be able to talk the hubby into letting me get my hands on some. Also can't wait to see pics of your finished loft! Your style is very inspirational- my husband and I just moved as well and I have until Christmas to get the house the way I want it!

oh my girl... 2 kits!? That IS crazy, but your amazing... so I'm not that surprised. :)
Can't wait for tomorrow!! It'll be fun.

Two kits??? Love you girl, you're en amazing hardworker!!! I think I'll take only one (cause it's expensive for Europe), but surely I'll take one. Love the small lovely ghosts (especially the one who's listening music, hahaha).
Besides I've got some news for you: my small daughter Maïa (2 years old) loves my mini album from your kit "Wonderland" - she wants even to sleep with it! :)))

I hope all the lucky peeps that get their hands on one of those kits can share the love with the rest of us by posting their creations, let me live vicariously through you all!!
Hope update goes swimingly Elsie!
