Until Next Year Dragon Con

BEST DRAGON CON EVER!!! This year’s Convention went swimmingly, a smooth set up and take down, thanks to my sister, brother in-law & my wonderful husband. Then almost all of my sweet Steampunk Dragons found new homes, they were a huge hit.  A large amount of my Gallery pieces and Myxies were cleaned out as well,  it’s going to be so much fun getting my inventory back up for next year.

As always, I loved seeing my fellow artists at the Art Show, Joseph & Donny Corsentino, Adaen Roberts and many more that I don’t have time to mention, but they are all awesome and I can’t wait to see them for D-Con 2013.

I was also very excited that my Charity piece, the fantasy baseball that my little Dragon pals helped paint, brought in the 2^nd highest bid at the Charity Auction for ALS. They were very pleased with themselves :)   

It was Fun and exhausting and I plan to do it all over again next year. I want to thank everyone that came by to see me and my little creations and made this Dragon Con a huge success!

For those of you that couldn’t make it to the Con, I will be posting any pieces I had left after the Art Show on my Etsy Store, Hopefully this week.

Thanks for reading!

Even Dragons like to give something back

Each year Dragon Con http://dragoncon.org/index.php holds a Charity Art Show auction and so far I have been able to participate in the past three years.  It is always so fun to create something and then see how far the bidding can go. We always raise a good bit for the Charity and have a lot of fun in the process. This year I’m especially excited about it because the theme seemed really neat… “Fantasy Baseball” the artists get to decorate baseballs and then they are auctioned off at the Art Show Voice auction with the proceeds going towards this year's Dragon Con Charity:  The Georgia Chapter of the ALS Association or better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. http://dragoncon.org/charity.php 

So since I’m really loving my little Dragons this year and they always enjoy helping out the community :) I decided they should get to be represented on the baseball. They have painted “Dragon Con” a crossed the front and are currently working on the date…well at least some of them are working LOL

What do you think?

Eeep I can’t believe the Convention is only a few days away, even though I have been attending for 5 years now, I still get very anxious the closer it gets. I will have so many new pieces at my booth. Including the Steampunk Myxie Dragon Pals, making their very first art show appearance. So make sure to stop by and wish them lots of luck :) See you all at the Con!

Please Help the Fight

I’m sure your life has been affected by Breast Cancer or you know someone who has. To help the fight, I am having a charity auction to raise money for the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk.
In honor of a very strong women Phyllis French, that lost her battle to breast cancer earlier this year. Her daughter Holly is trying to raise money to walk the 3-day this year... every bit counts. 100% of the proceeds from this auction will go to Holly French Smith to help in her walk.
In support of Holly and her journey, I have designed a one of a kind Myxie sculpture in memory of Phyllis. Her name is Hope, and she wears an outfit of pink ribbons. Additionally, we will match the winning bid dollar for dollar up to $250 dollars. Please take a look and whatever you can give is greatly appreciated.
