a domestic life {06} +++ zine giveaway

a domestic life :: 06 :: cupcake

a domestic life 6.... the cutest cupcake brought to me by rori of paper monkey press . she just moved to the east coast. we're working on a new website for her. a more "grown-up" version of what they have now.

in this drawing i think it's funny how i changed the view. it's like i grew taller than i was when i took the photo. the perspective is off. my favorite part is the sprinkles. they were fun to paint.

onto news::

1. i have a piece up for auction tomorrow night. another great local arts organization - The Intersection for the Arts - is having their annual shin-dig. i donated a small cozied target. you can learn about the auction and even buy pieces NOW by going here

2. GIVE A WAY

mixtape zine cover

remember the cover of mixtape that i posted about a bit ago... well... i got copies and it's a great issue. instructions on how to crochet dish clothes, crafting with kids, a cute calendar, a feature on paper cut artist tina tarnoff, etc, etc, etc, [the list of contributors is too long for me to type here today - my fingers are not typing well today. so many slip ups!]

you can buy your own copy here and you can learn more about the zine here .

i have a couple of extras. so if you want one - comment. a winner [maybe winners] will be announced next Wed. the 17th....

and that's all she typed [since i'm spending 1/2 my time deleting my typos]. have a GREAT weekend

I love anything with bird imagery these days, which is funny because I'm a little afraid of birds in real life.

There are so many amazing items up for auction! I am a sucker for local food baskets. That's what I would get.

I've always heard great things about MixTape but at this point haven't committed the funds to get one. Maybe this would be a good teaser for me? :)

I haven't heard of this, but I like the cover.

I love the cupcake - watercolours are always a favourite - I think that the feeling of light (both brightness and weight) is just amazing with watercolours and this painting is no exception! And a great subject matter too!

When I was younger, I dreamed of a zine of my own. The fun kind that you just photocopy. (Because how fun is photocopying?!)

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed!

I love how you painted the cupcake, the colours are perfect (this is such a lovely project). Hope you're well, happy weekend!

Here's to cupcakes that magic themselves taller and sprinkles that are fun to execute. I really like this series of photos and drawn interpretation.

I also like your mention of the typing process... deleting typos.

Hope your weekend lasts longer than mine... mine flew by at rapid rate. Sunday night? Already?
