So I’ve got some exciting news! For the past few weeks I’ve been working on a special project for Georgia based rug manufacturer American Dakota. They’ve asked me to create some painting designs that can be turned into rugs! I can’t wait to see how they turn out in fiber form!
And best of all, they are manufactured right here in the US and are a family run business. I think that’s the perfect scenario for turning something I make into a good that you can in turn use in your home!
As of right now, my designs will probably be featured in their spring 2016 collection. They will be sold through various retailers around the country, and you can bet I will share who those companies are when we know who has decided to carry the designs. I think I’ll be able to sell some of the myself too, we will just have to see how things are looking in 2016!

On top of that, I am still plugging away on my commissions list and also contemplating Christmas 2015! The folk art just doesn’t stop around here, and you know that’s how I like it! 😉
Hope you’re having a great week! Talk soon,
