Ornaments

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I've been bingeing Hallmark Christmas movies and painting kawaii character ornaments. This is a tradition I've been doing for a few years now, and something I always look forward to.

These ornaments are hand painted, so each is one of a kind even if it's the same character. Supplies are limited, but I am trying to do as many as I'm able before I close up shop for the holidays (which will probably be around the beginning of December. Keep an eye out for an official date.).

I've been taking your suggestions on characters you would like to see. So far this year I've made a few Harry Potters (always a favorite that sells out fast!), Ron, Hermione, Luna, Castiel, 10th Doctor, and Leia.

I don't take actual custom requests for these, but please let me know if there is something you would like to see and I will try my best.

The first batch of ornaments will be available for purchase this Friday, November 10th at 10am CST in my Etsy shop.

My Zoetrope: Father's Day Cards

This year I am determined to do as many special things for my husband for Father's Day. He works super hard to provide for us, and makes it possible for me to stay home with Amelia + make art.

I love finding the perfect card for every occasion. This year the card is super special because Amelia picked it out, and it's perfect.

Rad Dad Bear by My Zoetrope

We recently went on vacation to the Albuquerque Zoo, and Amelia knows all sorts of animal names these days (which is so cute). She is also always climbing on Clint and wanting to ride on his shoulders, so this card is perfect in so many ways! 

I love supporting other artists, and My Zoetrope is such a cute shop with amazing work! There are quirky cute cards for every occasion full of bright color and wit! 

Here are a few other Father's Day cards from Michelle's shop if you're looking for something extra special!
