Star book is complete and on my website for sale.

Wow, it's hard to believe that it's almost Christmas. Fall just flew by.
Just wanted to thank everyone who preordered my new star book. Also want to let anyone who wants one that they are for sale on my website. They would be a fun project to do with kids over the Christmas school break as they are fast, unlike most paper mache projects. I am hoping to start having handmade knitting boards/looms for sale on my Painted Paw Studio website soon, probably after the first of the year. I'll post as soon as they are available. I will probably offer 3 different sizes.
Also, don't forget that pets need Christmas too. Please visit my pet walking vest website for holiday specials.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Star Book

This is for everyone who has been asking. The new star book will be out on December 1st. I am a little behind. It will have 3 different types of stars in a couple of sizes each. There will be patterns for everything and they are super quick and fun to make, so you can make up a bunch for Christmas decorations and gifts. I will post on my blog and on my website when it's available. If anyone wants to preorder I will be doing my usual preorders for $10. Hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving.

Star Book in time for Christmas!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let everyone who has asked that I will be doing a 3-d star book that will be completed in time for Christmas. There will be 3 different types of stars in the book ranging in size from 3 inches to about 18 inches. The proposed release date will be November 1st to give everyone time to finish lots of stars for Christmas. I posted an example of one of the stars from the book.

New website

Wow, it's Wednesday already!
The Halloween book is coming along just fine and will be ready for "shipping" on September 1st. The big news is that I have a new line of pet walking vests that I designed and am in the process of setting up a website for. When it is complete in a few days, the web address will be www.petwalkingvest.com.
That's my cat Zoey wearing hers, isn't she cute? So far everyone who has seen them just loves them. They are well made, cute and they are virtually escape-proof. This is especially important for anyone who walks a cat or slim built dog outside on a leash.
Now back to painted paw studio business. I have a gallery showing at the Gallery at Hyde Park here in Boise and I have already sold a couple of pieces. Yay!
Well that's about it for this week's news.

New Paper Mache E-book

Just wanted to keep everyone up to date with what's going on with me artwise. I'm working very hard trying to complete my Halloween E-book. Everything is going along smoothly with an availability date of September 1st. This book is going to be so awesome. It has six really fun projects that start out super easy (good for kids too) and then there are a couple that are a little more challenging. They are fun and scary and will look great around the house as Halloween decorations. The creepy eyeballs will make super party favors for a Halloween party. The price for this book is going to be $20 but I will be accepting pre-orders for $15.00 for anyone pre-ordering before September 1st. Just e-mail me at paintedpawstudio@gmail.com

Paper Mache introduction

Hi! My name is Moni. I am an artist living in beautiful Boise, Idaho.

All of my paper mache pieces are made from 100% recycled materials, except the polymer clay eyes in a few pieces and the tape used in armature making.

I love art and I love animals, so as often as I can I like to combine my two loves.

I enjoy making any type of animal and many decorative items. I work with both strips and pulp (often on the same piece). I make the pulp myself out of recycled newspaper and junkmail. All of my armatures are made from wire coat hangers and anything else that fits my needs. I have even used Ben and Jerry's ice cream containers as muzzle armatures.
