Sunday Sushi #3 - Selling of the Art & Crafts

This weekend I took my Arts & Craft to a local Yard Sale to see how we would do.  

We made our money back but for how much we spent on food because we didn't pack anything was quite a bit...something to think about next time.

I counted the small boxes and I have over 45 of them at the start of the day.  Yes there are actually 45 + boxes on that table.  I sold 7 boxes and three books which we had at the sides of the table.

The Cheshire Cat Box is gone, along with Sailboat, Phillies, Halloween  and two other boxes I can't remember.

I was actually asked if I had anything with Snow White and I am going to paint and idea I have of one up...hopefully.

This past week I showed you :

Cheshire Cat Box

A Painting called Lamb's Lullaby

A Frame with Friends & Shopping Theme

A Cross Blessing America

And some of the boxes I was to sell at the yard sale.

This Frame's design came from the shoe decal that is actually for fabric.

Lamb's Lullaby

This painting is based on a favorite musical lamb I had as a child.

WWII Memorial To Grandpop

Memorial Day is coming up so I thought I would hang something special on my door related to my family.

My Grandfather Flannery was in WWII in Italy as radio controller.  On this Clip Board you will see a picture of him in uniform, a clip art I found, and map of WII Italy marked where troops were stationed.

Hanging from the Clip Board is a sculpy dog tag with V. Flannery 1916 - 1978

I never got to know my grandfather.  He died not in the war but after. I was almost 1 year when he did die.  Pictures are all I have.

Candy's Corner

Here's a sketch I did that stemmed from a smaller very different sketch.   I thought it would make good card but gotta work on what to color it with photoshop just ain't working.

Sunday Sushi #2- Art is Art is Art is Art

Sunday Sushi - Art is Art is Art is Art

In the month of April:

The month of April I haven’t focused on art as much as I like to but I think I did a fair amount some I haven’t even shown here.  This April I shared my love of book cover art .   I shared my Easter decor and some Fab eggs.   

My creative whims sometimes wander on certain thing and when I get an idea I gotta start I may not finish till later. Some of the whims came in a Spring box, Yin Yang box, and Fox Mask.

Sometimes my art is in writing whether it is on Confuzzled Books or a children’s story I am writing.   I have a couples images I haven’t shared ...they are just sketches really for a children’s book about our pups

These are a rough sketch and me practicing for a story I wrote on Nala and Smokey(r.i.p).

I have other drawing and sketches I am working on but this is all I am going to show for now..;-)

Jumping ahead in May:

I hope to do more in this blog and connect to the other blog...
As for now what is ahead for Confuzzled Designs....little more art for stores like Zazzle and CafePress
More Painting on Canvas,
More writing,
Return of the Etsy store!

I have so much more planned for this blog, this creation, in my head. I just have to move forward.
