Tip Top Fun . . . Frosty's Little Friend! New Holly Day Design!

As hot as it was outside today I can't believe I had an irresistable urge to "Think Snow" by kicking off my Pop Art Minis Holiday season designs with a bit of nostaglia and fun.  A tip top version of Frosty The Snowman featuring a little friend that just happened to hitch a ride in his "old top hat".  "Frosty and his cute as a button friend are jolly, happy guys and are perfect winter wonderland characters. 
Oh, and don't worry this is one snowman that won't be melting anytime soon!
 You can find him in the Pop Art Minis Zazzle Store too!



Cheers to more Holly Day Designs coming soon!

Illustration Friday - Transportation . . . Up Up And Away!

This week over at Illustration Friday the theme challenge was "Transportation" so I thought my little red airplane Pop Art Mini  "Up Up And Away" would make a perfect entry. I created this design a few months back as a special request from a Facebook Friend and really liked the way the red "popped"! Hope you enjoy one of my favorite modes of transportation and one that I seem to use ALOT!  So if you're ready it's time to soar . . . "Up Up And Away!"

 Oil pastel on paper canvas!

Prints, Posters and More Available in my Pop Art Minis Zazzle Store!

4:30 AM On A Saturday? You've Got To Be Kidding!

After an early start to my day yesterday I cannot believe that my body has decided that this might become a new habit (that I plan on breaking as soon as possible) especially on a Saturday! But here I sit, stare and now blog about this new "inner alarm clock".  I've already made my rounds . . .  facebook, twitterThe Hive, and GOOGLE which included searches on Dr. Seuss (still in love with the fabric that I saw yesterday!)

I believe I even dreamed about it and to dream a dream about something so extreme why I do
believe I've flipped! hehehe! 
But I do love a good Google Seuss search!  Which turned up this and a little bit of that mixed all together by the Cat In The Hat!  And I'm really digging that Diffendoofer Day
So, although it looks like my "dreamtime" is over for a while (may require a cat in the hat nap later) I believe I'll continue my day in a Pop Art Minis creative way . . . a quick shot of my desk, which is a very big mess

But I'll soon be digging in for some Pop Art Mini creating and the start of my Day-dreaming!
Rinnnggggg..... all caused by my inner alarm clock ringing! Rinnnggggg.....

Wishing you a day of rise and sunshine!

$1.00 Inspiration . . . "Monday Muse On A Budget" WOOF!

There are lots of great places to seek inspiration for creative fun, artistic flair and crafty creations, but today I thought that it would be fun to kick off a new share called "Monday Muse On A Budget"!  Inspired by a find from a local Dollar Store . . . a plain white, stuffed autograph hound that was just barking, oops, I mean begging to for some creative embellishment.  So with a few markers and my imagination I started drawing and here is my doodle creation with a little inspiration! 





Maybe not a great masterpiece, but fun none the less and less is the key word . . . $1.00! 
Plus, I know with a few found objects, buttons, bows and or whatever else you might have laying around in your "crafty stash" this little hound could be even more fab!  
I just broke it down to the bare (dog) bones, so to speak! WOOF!
So, if you've been inspired to run out to your local Dollar Store and  pick up a blank slate "autograph hound" to create your own "Bob Barker" I'd love if to see your inspired designs!
Hoping to make  “Monday Muse On A Budget” a mini  platform for more mini arts and crafts projects that, well, basically cost $1.00 or less! 

Seek, experiment, create fearlessly and know that creating can be fun even on a budget!
