Finally ... More Birthday Cards

So I am currently working on birthday cards for licensing. I realized with my last one (Birthday Bear) that I really have no birthday themes, so I decided to start there. For starters, I'm doing a theme of several cute animals wearing birthday hats. This one is a ferret. He kind of reminds me of one of my ferrets (I've had three in my life), though the one I speak of doesn't have blue eyes. This one does, and I think it adds to his cuteness.

Of all my projects, I think the ones I enjoy most are book projects for publishers, and licensing. With licensing there is so much creative freedom, and a lot of opportunities. I am lucky to have stumbled upon some of them, but there are so many other possibilities out there I would like to seek. Which is where I am heading with my work, I think.

Things are still pretty slow getting back on track. Life is pretty tough. It has started snowing here September 27th, and we've gotten about 6 inches so far. Over the weekend it basically snowed all day. It's a beautiful, peaceful time of year. Though the problem with Alaska is it doesn't feel like Halloween - it already feels like Christmas. So we are essentially missing a month.

Thanks for dropping by today. Enjoy the colors of Fall, if you still have them.
