Art work by one of my fav's...Tom Everhart

I received My first Snoopy when I was Six. I got it from my uncle who was a professional garbage picker. My “new” Snoopy had seen better days. I know what your thinking eww!!! And yea it was probably gross. But after it was washed a gazillion times, it became my most precious possession.
The Stuffed Snoopy was as tall as I was, and ventured in to my first grade class room almost everyday. I had a special empty desk for him…right next to mine. This went on for almost two months until the kids started giving me a hard time. My teacher finally had enough and told me Snoopy had to stay home. So Snoopy stayed while I went to school. Sadly one day I came home to find Snoopy was MURDERED!!! Murdered viciously by my German Shepard…total decapitation!!! I was devastated and cried for days!!! We had a very nice funeral for my Snoopy and buried him out side in the back yard. Later I secretly found out that my uncle had to dig him up and throw his poor tattered remains in to the actual garbage.
How ironic. (That’s where he came from) So this lead to my love of Snoopy!!! To this day,I have around 75.
Don’t cringe…they only come out at Christmas!!!

For the Love of SNOOPY!!!!!!

Two days wrong, sighed the Hatter. I told you butter wouldn’t suit the works…We’ve nothing to do with Time. It’s always six O’clock here.

Kind of reminds me of a crazed long lost Uncle that has bad taste in clothes but has a lot of money.

I am starting an Urban Bird Collection… These are Altered Painting by me. I Grew Up in Chicago In basically the ghetto, And the only Animals I would see are Pigeons, Squirrels and Rat’s. Once in a while among the Crab Grass, Weeds and Garbage I would see two things; one a lone daisy would pop up out of no where, I remember thinking it was the most beautiful thing, so I love Daisy’s.

Second I would rarely see a colored bird. Most were gray (the Rat’s of the sky!!) But I remember seeing around the age of Ten this momma bird nestled with her baby…. I’ll be turning more of my paintings in to pendants in the weeks to come…enjoy!

Finally Something New! I have not added anything in a while but I have been busy, in a good way. I feel my ETSY is taking off. I have had not only people purchase items but I have had some repeat customers. I also have had two of my customers give me lovely gifts. Melinda Montgomery gave me her CD and A beautiful card she made. I was so touched. The CD is awesome and is now one of my favorites to listen to while I am making art. I have also befriended a lady who also sells on ETSy and lives in California. Sherry is sending me a lovely Bamboo necklace that she has made, I’m so in aw. I never thought it was going to be more than just business. You know, you buy from me, I say thank you and that's it. But I have had E-mail conversations with great people. And not only through blogging but also through ETSY, I feel very lucky. This direction is all new and exciting. I just hope I can keep it going. Please take a moment to take a peek at Sherry's site: Collettestreasures.etsy.com She has beautiful items to purchase. And at ETSY.com in general. Thousands of hand made items by people who have put their heart soul in to the lovely things that they have made. I think it is so very important as artist’s to support each other and spread the word. My Dad has always said this to me “You can't do everything alone!" And he's right, I want to befriend as many people as I possibly can, and enjoy the ride!!
