Snow Days

Well, I cannot change the snowy days, but I can show you pictures

that may make you think of Spring and warmer times ahead.

You may have already seen my Bee Tissue Box Cover, but

this design has a background color that can almost make you

feel warm breezes in the air. A client of mine had recently moved

to Colorado from Florida. Although she was filled with happiness

and excitement for her new life in Colorado, she missed the colors

she had in her Florida home. When she saw my

blue/green/sea foam color, she asked if I would make her a

Bee Tissue Box and a few other items for her new powder room.

Well, I just love the color combination. I hope it's warming you up a little bit.

This Sea Shell Tray is one of the first shell designs I have created.

Sea shells make me think of summer, sand and walks on the beach.

I hope you are feeling a little warmer now, I think I am.

Dreaming about Spring

I think the cold temperatures across the country have many people dreaming of Spring. Why you may ask? Well, since the first of the year, I have had many orders for rabbits, robins and nests. Take a peek...

Pictured above is my Hare on Floral 11 by 14 canvas. Also, two small plates with one featuring a Standing Hare and the other a Rabbit nibbling on lettuce.

The Standing Hare Tissue Box Cover is a year-round favorite.

When I first decided to create lap writing desk, I thought they would be perfect to use with laptops computers, and they are. However, I have been told by many clients that they are just too pretty for that and must go on the wall as art. So when it was suggested that I add my Rabbit Family design, I did and love how it looks. Perfect for your laptop or your wall.

One client wanted me to create one of my writing lap desks with a really big robin. It does have the look of Spring. Robin on Ivory Writing Lap Desk.

This Bird Nest Plate is a perfect little accent to make you think of Spring.

A Paris Street Market October 2nd, 2010

The last Paris Street Market of 2010 in Littleton, Colorado is October 2nd. I will be there with all my latest creations, including the oval cow tray pictured above. If your attending the market, please do stop by booth #20 and say hello. If you won't be able to make it, you can always visit my website Robin King Designs. Hope to see you there.

It's Starting To Look A Lot Like Christmas

... at least in my studio.

The Holiday orders are arriving, so I am making many, many, many lists and checking them twice, at least.

So you can see what I am talking about, here are some pictures from my studio.

This collection is on its way to Missouri.

These petite plaques are in production and will go to California and

Texas after a little more work and a lot more varnish.

This basket is complete and heading to Kentucky.

The Santa canvases are staying here in Colorado, but when the bee

boxes next to them are complete, they will be flying off the shelf

to Missouri.

So yes, even though the temperature is still in the high eighties and the leaves are still on the trees, my studio feels just like Christmas.

And it's the most wonderful time of the year.

Bird, Paper, Scissors

I wanted to share some pictures of my booth from the September 2010 Paris Street Market in Littleton, Colorado.

Bird Tissue Box Covers

At each Market, I try to have a theme and birds took center stage this time.

Paperweights

I also brought a few paperweights. I usually do not work with glass to0 much but paperweights are small enough that even I can make them. I love the look of decoupage under glass but I miss my crackle effect too much. So as soon as I can figure out how to crackle and decoupage under glass, you may see a few more items.

Bee Note Cards

And last but not least, here are my Bee Note Cards. Just perfect for a little note.

The last Paris Market for the 2010 Season in October 2nd. Hope to see you there.
