100 Indianas
This is what a box of Indianas looks like. Several hours of cutting and there are now over 100 of them. They have since been strung as garland and are ready to hit the shelves.
The ‘I Heart Indiana’ garland will be available through me* or at Silver in the City on Mass Ave this week, go check it out!
Each garland has 10 little Indiana’s is hand painted and cut and comes in a varity of colors on a strand approximately 72 inches long. I caution against hanging in a humid or moisture-rich environment (kitchens, bathrooms, outside in an Indiana August) to be sure the colors don’t run.
Enjoy!
* for those who have already ordered their garland, no worries! They are on the way!
Hoosier Decor
I’ll admit to getting obsessed with a project idea (paper airplanes being one of the most recent). Lately, it’s been putting tiny versions of things on strings. Last month it was hearts in honor of Valentine’s Day. This month? I’m showing my Indiana pride with state garland.
It began with this stencil of the Hoosier state and a late night paper painting session. I also learned my lesson from the hearts last time around and purchased a punch that makes very small holes. My hands are saved from making holes for the string with just a large sewing needle!
Several garlands later and they are ready! Each garland has ten little handpainted Indianas in a variety of colors. I’m making them available via the blog and Facebook today for $22.50, and if there are any left, I’ll add them to my Etsy Shop.
UPDATE: These Hoosier darlings will now be available at Silver in the City beginning next week! I’m so excited!

The beginning of what will, I hope, be an awesome {indiana} themed project. Details to come.
Oh, and Happy St. Paddy’s day. Don’t go out and be dumb about it.
And now on Etsy
After a three year hiatus, I re-launched my Etsy shop last weekend. I’ve long hoped to find a new venue to promote and sell some of my work and maybe this is it?
Primed with a spattering of smaller works on canvas and paper, I plan to add more as time allows, but the goal is to find good, forever homes for some of my little ones.
Most of the shop is filled with works that have seen other exhibits or were studies for ongoing series of larger works. I float back and forth between a love of working on tiny and big paintings. How great is it that I don’t have to choose? I do the same when it comes to the medium. For the most part, these pieces are done in acrylic paint on canvas, but look closer for graphite, house paint, collage elements, bits of old paintings, and more.
I hope you’ll visit and consider starting or continuing your Kate O. collection! Click on an image to be taken to it’s Etsy listing.
PS: Be my first ever Etsy customer and I’ll include a fun free gift with your purchase!

I didn’t work on any new artwork (upcoming show) last night like I should have. I went out with friends instead. There was popcorn involved.
