“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

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
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!!

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
Nothing cuter than a clean chow butt
Soggy Gracie waiting for the dryer
I love the butt shots
Big purple smooches from Gracie!!!
We finally got some snow!!! Yeah, this is pretty pathetic (see video in media center below too) but the dogs think its heaven. Old Meggie was falling asleep sitting up as the snowflakes kisses her muzzle. I love this photo above. She is such a dear dear dog!!
Of course then she woke up and all heck broke loose. She was play bowing to me to chase her BELOW
I have been getting a lot of inquiries from the panda groups and friends about when we leave for China and our itinerary….so below you will find our schedule for the journey which can also be accessed any time in the upper right hand column of the blog along with my audio/video travel updates
