Chews Day..

By on 5-13-2008 in Canvas Wraps, Competitions / Contests, Gorjuss Products, Ramblings

Hello everyone, it’s Suzanne here ( at laaaaast I here you cry )… sorry for the disapearance, but I trust Mr G has been looking after you all well.. I’ve worked him a bit hard today – He’s been printing and making canvas prints all day and is now well and truly Mc’knackered !

more gorjuss canvas prints

So I thought I’d give him the rare night off from the blog.. and step in… the canvas prints turned out beautifully as you can see, and that little green leaved one, of the little girl hugging the giraffe?.. is a commission piece.

Saying that I have never heard so much cussing as I did today, the new canvas paper proved to have some issues…and wasnt easy to wrap… and I wont let him sell anything that doesnt meet my quality requirement… but he got the hang of it and managed to pull it out of his sporran.

FRIDAY NIGHT GIVEAWAY

So far just 3 People are through to the final draw….Sez, LaurenG, and Christina. There is still plenty of time to get into the draw and quite a few of the comments are near 25. Now remember EVERY 25th comment gets their name put in the hat for the draw of an ORIGINAL painting … so keep those comments rolling in and Clean!!! Excessive Flirting with Mr G will not be tolerated…hehehe

 

TODAYS THEME

If you were in charge of picking the name for things, and your first duty was to rename anything to what you think it should be, what would you rename and why? For example, I would change bed to napper..I like the idea of napping in the napper.. ok? so get those comments in, remember you can comment on ANY blog post – Closing is Friday night… 10pm.

PENDANTS

Gorjuss necklaces hit the Etsy shop today, we’ve only managed to create a small batch so far, so catch them while you can ! I’m having trouble getting the camera to do them justice, they are tiny, and plastic, and adorable! They have a texture feel and are quite deceivingly heavy… but gorjuss none the less.

  1. Hi Suzanne!! : D

    I love the necklaces! I will have to make a trip to Etsy tonight!! And so nice to see your recent work…the little girl with the giraffe is absolutely adorable!

    I think that butterflies should be renamed “flutter-bys,” because that’s what they do. : )

    XO

  2. …welllll….another one I’ll have to think about – beautiful necklaces πŸ™‚

    I have trouble wrapping that too. I am so used to stretching canvas – I did switch to a linen once and sized it and it worked well. πŸ™‚

  3. This canvas wasnt coated evenly, i wasted a good 3ft of it as scrap… kept flaking the print… drove me mental… so much put in the recycle bins…

    Still the canvas is lovely…. all rolls of papers have little bad bits…

  4. The necklaces are beautiful. I must get over to your shop. Please come check out the lovely comments in my treasury (I have one of your items featured). It is an awesome treasury if I may say so myself!

  5. Wahoo, I’m excited to be in the drawing. By the way your commissions are always amazing (the few I’ve seen) and the lucky owner of that giraffe is once again quite lucky. πŸ™‚ lol.

    Something I’d rename huh? Hmmm… nothing original popping in my head at the moment. lol. Tired from the flu still but am glad YOU are doing so much better. The new drawing looks amazing, can’t wait to see more.

  6. note to self ” buy Suzanne bunches of pens “

  7. Rush hour…another misnomer. I can’t think of anything more appropriate though.

    Glad you’re feeling better, Suzanne! Woo hoo!!!

  8. welcome back suzanne! so nice to see you here. i can’t think of any good renames, but i liked your idea. my dd calls sneezes “bless yous”, that’s cute isn’t it?

    i am entranced by your art! thank you so much. i love the idea of the necklace but not that the hole had to be punched right in that darling head! off to esty now to check out the others!

  9. Glad to see you up and about, Suzanne. Love the commission piece.

    I’ll have to put my thinking cap on to come up with something original for renaming something.

  10. Helloooooooo suzanne good to see you :)….did you miss me??? *like a whle in the head huh? lol.Any way sorry i havent been around my lil un hasnt been very well..Sooooo my chances of winning anything are like erm..Nil LOL

  11. Hi

    I like your drawings a lot.
    May I ask why you dont make any pictures with boys?
    I would love that for my sons bedroom.

  12. ar well first off welcome back mrs g πŸ™‚

    gotta love the little girl and giraffe, tis most excellent πŸ™‚

    id rename all birds to norberts, it makes it easier for my friends 2 year old then to no what their called pmsl
    we were out one day and he pointed, wanting to know what a sparrow was, i told him it was called norbert, now every bird he sees he shouts norbert at, im slowly corrupting his little mind lol

  13. Good morning! : )

    This isn’t exactly a re-name…it’s an expanded name. When my oldest, Chris, was 3, he started calling all cake “Happy Cake.” Cake does make us all very happy, so it’s a perfect name that we are still using!

  14. i would rename most children from harpurhey little b@**!?
    get me drift πŸ˜‰ lol

    i have a few other names for men too pmsl

  15. ahem, no potty mouth in here!!! Any more carry on and you’ll be in detention…

  23. *sneaking around …hiding from Kismet*

  24. Robin, where’d you go. . .and why are you hiding from Kismet?

    Back on topic. . .I think any injury should be called a “boo boo”. Wouldn’t that be fun for doctors and hospital employees?

  25. ooooh I’m just leaving !!! He scares me …lol

  26. Oh, good–there you are! And right on time, too. . .nicely done. πŸ™‚
