I had to take a break from painting because someone as mowing and weedeating and I find that noise unbelieveably irritating and distracting, SO I went out on the deck and started on this mosiac project, Separating the colors is a mindless activity that is not disturbed by the most anoying noise on the planet. Its just going to be a simple pattern i like a mosaic table top but for my house I reserrve the pictures for the walls not on the furnature. Im going ore for a mid century looking piece.
hers a progress shot on a couple of Decor pieces from Today they should be done within the hour.

I just sat here and enjoyed the entire show. The art is beautiful. I love the patterns behind the scenes. The room, is that a real room or a painting? Your art is so peaceful and lovely. Wendy

I really like all of your stuff! If I don't get you as a swap partner will you sell me one of your pieces and ship it to NJ?

(I think one of the long ones could roll up real easy and be inexpensive to ship.)

S
Sophista-tiki posted on 07/19/2012

Lori I'll ship anywhere and I have lots of things availible on my website. http://www.sophista-tiki.com/index.html
I also sell on etsy, Ther will be a new inventory added in a couple of weeks. after vending at tiki Kon.

Sophista-tiki posted on 07/27/2012

STILL lots of top secret projects, I've been working night and day to get as much as possible off my plate. Bunch of shirts just got shipped out, art framed- boxed - shipped to it destination, and I still have 4 paintings to finish for production projects. BUT heres something I can share. This morning I finished the very first Sophista tiki Togs hand bag. I will have a very limited selection available in my vending space at Tiki Kon.

I managed to get a few made for vending with dozens of orders pending for next week. and the very first one already snatched up. heres a few pics. sorry if Im repeating pics, Im tiredish.

Framed it up and shipped it off to T.O. this morning. I can't believe I made it. My whole summer has been one deadline after another, CRAZY! Now if the money would just show up I'd feel like it was all worth it.

FYI I have a chipin event going for truck repairs . Everyone around here loves to ask me to haul stuff for them in my truck but no one wants to help keep it on the road and available for them to use.
heres the link if you care to read about it, I absolutly dont mind helping people who need it, but my main concern is being able to get to my jobs, because without my truck I'm screwed.

Wow
U think it would take longer to look at 57 pages of awesomeness than it did

Love it all...

Sophista-tiki posted on 09/08/2012

It probably takes less time because there isnt alot of bull on my pages, I just post the stuff, say one or 2 weird things and go away again. Then when people ( 99%) look they dont comment , they just look.
That being saud THANK YOU for taking the time to look and leaving me a nice comment.

heres some things that have been made in the last couple of weeks.
Trying to gett caught up on all of my orders before I start on something new.

thanks for looking.
I'm almost caught up, will take a couple of weeks to do stuff around my house before the weather changes. like finally getting to those outdoor soji screens to close in my patio, and building a built-in record/stereo cabinet in my diningroom.

THEN Im all ready to start paianting my next show.much bigger pieces.
