I love it, I’m sure Chris will too, thanks so much!

Thank you so much for your time, effort and most of all, the beautiful sculpture- you are a pleasure to work with as well as a super creative and gifted artist!

Much Appreciation,

Madeline, Russ and Big Mo, Woodmere NY

Thirty percent of sculpture sales in the month of October benefit dogs in need.]]> If you’re here it must mean you have some interest in my art and now’s a darn good time to buy!

You may have read about my adorable muse, Tupelo Honey, in my recent newsletter (see previous blog post if you missed it). In his honor I created a fundraiser. Mention IDOG when you purchase a sculpture in October 2011 and I will donate 30% to IDOG rescue.

Doodles in a variety of sizes, poses, and colors are ready for new homes. How do you buy:

  • Click to purchase in my Etsy store. And come back often. I will add new sculptures throughout the month.
  • If anything catches your eye on this website contact me.  I’ll do my best to honor the 30% to IDOG for custom work but may not complete all projects by the end of the month.
  • See the latest sculptures on my facebook page. And do “like” my page to keep up with Studio news!

I’m also planning something new this year– an ebay auction at the end of the month.  I love to build on antique toys and this 1950′s jumping shoes features the bounciest beast I know.  Bidding on this fun “Animal on the Move” sculpture (valued at $300) will start at $45 and I will donate 100% OF THE PROCEEDS to IDOG (stay tuned).

I hope you find something you like.

Best,

Jennifer
