This one will not get glass on top, but I do have some planned for mosaics.

Just proofed Smoochie today, Cute little Wheaten terrier. This will be a small 11 x14 portrait.

Trading card for local swap. I like this one a lot. It was fun going off the board with the lines.

I did 216 proof pages for pets in 2011, and since some were multiple pet projects I ended up doing around 257 pets. Very busy year. Yes, it is a full time job.

" I love Kunichika"

I really adore the work of Toyohara Kunichika. I think I may have been his mistress in a previous life, at any rate I do know I was Japanese once a long time ago. When I had to create an Asian inspired trading card for a local upcoming swap I decided to steal from the best. I used a small portion from a scanned antique print as a collage element on this one. The black cinca is supposed to mimic Kanji.

To grout or not to grout????
