A few arts

[balaa]

Got another card for the kennel Club Deck, the Brittany Spaniel. I used to groom a few of them back when I worked at a grooming shop, very sweet dogs..a few of them had a very proud/haughty demeanor..but I liked them for that.

Also finished or rather/almost finished the leopard painting and planning another painting, not sure of what just yet.

OOH and does anyone know of a good place where I can buy cheaply priced but good quality mat board?? I need to start matting pieces for AC and I really don't want to pay the outrageous prices of mat board at Michaels. So if anyone has websites or good places to go in Washington state, I'd greatly appreciate it!




Brittany Spaniel winning best in show..he looks rather proud. Came up with that sketch at 3 am this morning..


The finished leopard piece..the photo desaturated some of the colors..but I shall take better pictures tomorrow and tweak things that are bugging me. Piece will be called 'I Will Protect you'..roughly 10.5 x 13 inches


And an ambigram concept for the back of the kennel club deck..they will likely not use it but I had fun designing it nonetheless. Hopefully you can read that it says 'TheKennelClub'

Daniel Smith in West Seattle and Frame Central have the best prices on mat board. $13.99 for a sheet of mat board at Michaels isn't bad, though. It's just about adverage. If you can make it the the JoAnn in Olympia I'm sure you can pick up so scraps for cheep. I don't know much scraps they have, though. Also, Ben Franklin and/or Artco have decent prices on scraps.

thank ya Jenn..I was thinking next time I head up to Olympia id stop in at the Jo Ann's and see what they have..I liked the Jo Anne's in seattle close to Sarah's but thats a bit too far out of my way..yay for gas prices.

I'm checking out dick blick and their prices are pretty good...but then that makes me wonder about quality..at least if I go to a store I can match colors to a piece before I choose something..oh well...thank you for your help in the past..I didnt want to be a nuisance and bug you again :P..plus I really ought to try learning my way around this mat cutter O_o.

If you need help learning to mat you can come visit sometime. I live by the airport. ^^

If you can tell me what brands they sell at DickBlick and at what prices I can tell you if they are good or not. ^^
