IN MY MOM’S MINNESOTA GARDEN, JUNE 2010

Wow, where does the time go??  I have been so busy making jewelry and gardening, not to mention playing with Gracie and the girls, that the blog posts got a bit neglected.  One thing that is nice about the Facebook widget in the right hand column though…..you can see my quickie updates which I post almost daily in there.

Right now I am running a FREE PENDANT DRAWING at my SANDRA MILLER STUDIO Facebook page

“MY GIRL” a recent custom portrait of “Sassy” created for Rhonda Prince

Hello friends!  I hope you are all doing well heading into this Memorial Day Weekend!  This portrait commission you see above I finished recently and wanted to share a little bit about my unique painting process through a short video I did created below.  This is a condensed version as the actual painting took a couple of weeks to complete . Be sure to turn your volume on if you can

Rhonda also requested a custom portrait pendant which turned out so pretty!!  She can hold Sassy close to her heart every time she wears it, and the pendant is light as a feather too!!   I will be listing more of my art on jewelry very soon in the store and this “MY GIRL” design (plus many more new designs) are now available in my ZAZZLE BOUTIQUE on art cards, T’s , and mugs

And below is a series of pendants which sold out in one day when I posted them on my Facebook wall Tuesday, but I wanted you all to see how cute they turned out!!  This LIMITED EDITION of 10 fused glass pendants surrounded in copper tone bezels were inspired by a dear panda boy  who is very special to a lot of fans here and in China..heck his fan club extends worldwide

CLICK HERE to read more about the pendant at the website

The inspiration photos for this cheerful design  came from my trip to DC in 2008 for Tai Shans 3rd birthday bash and some poppy shots from my garden.  A perfect fusion of orange, black and white pandaness!!

Below is an Iphone video I did yesterday showing how cute this whole batch of pendants looked carded up and ready to go to their adoptive homes today.   Thank you all so much for the incredible reception to this limited edition.  More “ice cube” style pendants are on the way !

And a few items are now available with the SICHUAN NIRVANA design in the ZAZZLE BOUTIQUE

Have a fun and safe holiday weekend everyone!!!!

I’ve been bouncing back and forth between my artwork and playing with Gracie….then a little housework (very little) and gardening.  I’d like to say I’m accomplishing a lot but it seems the busier I am the less I’m getting done.  Spring is always the busiest time around here and I wouldn’t change that for the world

These one of a kind pendants you see here are all sold (except for the Moonbear one below which is a limited edition.  I have been doing a few FACEBOOK specials on my SANDRA MILLER STUDIO fan page so this is where you can find occasional goodies being announced first!!  Join my FACEBOOK FAN PAGE by clicking HERE or find my FACEBOOK feed in the right hand column of the blog.

Many more pendants are on the way so stay tuned to FACEBOOK or check in often at the website HERE

Gracie at 11 weeks

And today little Gracie got her first bath in Oregon (Diana and I bathed her in Iowa before she left)  These rainy days really make the coat look raggedy and its so nice to have her freshly fluffed and buffed!! Diana , Gracie was REALLY good in the tub today.  You would be proud

Gracie at 11 weeks

Nothing cuter than a clean chow butt

Soggy Gracie waiting for the dryer

I love the butt shots

Big purple smooches from Gracie!!!










U WEAR IT WELL..BACK VIEW….ONE OF A KIND CHOW BATIK JACKET

Are you all having a wonderful holiday weekend?  I sure am and am taking advantage of the time avoiding the shopping crowds to hold up in the studio and get a few of my latest treasured listed in my Ebay Boutique!!!   It just happens that this week my  3 items are Chow Chow related .  I’ve had a lot of requests for more chow ties and garments so here goes!!

CLICK ON THE PHOTOS TO TAKE YOU TO MY EBAY STORE

U WEAR IT WELL….CLOSEUP OF JACKET BACK

ABOVE : “MIDNIGHT SUN” AVAILABLE ONLY ON EBAY LIMITED EDITON OF 10

ABOVE : “RUSTLING LEAVES” AVAILABLE ONLY ON EBAY LIMITED EDITON OF 10

These two ties are made by Zazzle but ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ON EBAY.

I will order your ties as the purchases come in and have Zazzle ship directly to you.  Their turnaround time is usually 24 hours production and one week transit.  What a super gift for that guy Chow friend, handler, or any other chowist in your life!!  We know how chow guy gifts are pretty elusive!

These two are priced slightly  higher than my ties on Zazzle because they took considerably longer to created in my new batik style.  The colors are amazing and richly saturated!!  With only 10 available you may want to scoop up  yours ASAP before they disappear.

FREE SHIPPING on the ties as a holiday gift from me!!! On Zazzle it’s usually 7.00 so that s a big savings

Yesterday a good friend mentioned they did not have a Paypal account and wondered how to pay with a credit card in my Ebay store.  NO PROBLEMO… Paypal now lets you checkout with your credit card without having to created a Paypal account!! How cool is that?   More info below
