Mats Galore

Last June I had a person from North Carolina contact me about creating a series of floor mats for a beach house. Imagine my surprise and excitement to have someone from so far away interested in my work.

Since then I have been working fairly steadily to create a total of 5 mats. To date I have 3 completed and shipped. My work was described as "spectacular"... what a thrill! I am currently working on the remaining 2 mats.

Completed:

40x57" Compass Rose

30x24" Sunflowers
40x24" Dolphin

In Progress:
30x30" Crab

30x30" Sea Turtle

It has been a unique experience working with someone I've never met but with the right questions and a cooperative client things have been going smoothly.

I'll soon be posting the 3 completed mats on my website so check back soon to see them!

Little Traveller

Hello,

The Little Traveller, as I've named the latest chair, is almost complete. Today I am putting on the finishing touches and tidying up loose ends. Tomorrow I will apply the first coat of varathane. I've really enjoyed painting this chair. It has an element of humour and whimsy that has held my interest for the past few months.

I'll be posting images here and on my webite is a couple of weeks. The chair will be delivered to it's new owner next weekend so I have to be patient. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.

New Design Comps

My latest chair design, like the Korean/Canadian chair, is a great educational tool... for me! I'm learning about various cultures.

Seen here, we have the story of a traditional Colombian taxi as it zooms past beaches (coast to coast), farm fields, sugar cane fields, and through the city of New York. There are personal touches along the way that reflect family heritage and name sakes. Most importantly the bridge of a young boy between his heritage and his birthplace.

I hope I do the story justice! If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send me a note.

New Chair Underway

I have a new chair design underway and I'm really looking forward to working on it. The theme is a blend of Colombian country and New York city buzz. The design will also have a travellers feel about it.

For those of you who are curious, here is an image of the Korean/Canadian inspired chair. If you have any questions about a chair that you may like to work on with me please feel free to contact me. I check my messages everyday.

All the best!

Poll

Thanks to those of you who voted for your favourite theme chair on my poll. Farm Yard was the favourite! I've been collecting inspiration for that theme and hope to get something started in the next few months.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hello friends!

It certainly has been awhile since my last posting but I wanted to let you know that I am alive and well! In November I started a new part-time job working in a sign production shop in more of a managerial role, and it has been a good experience... so good that I'm taking the job on a full time basis in the January.

As for chair designs... my Winnie-the-Pooh client has realized the importance of original and personalized design. We will be hashing out the details in January but I think it will be another multi-cultural chair inspired by Colombian, US and Canadian cultures. Very cool! I'll keep you posted. ;)

I wish you all a safe and joyous holiday season.
Sincerely,
Kelly
