Artfest 2009

Well, we all just got back from Artfest 2009. It is held at Fort Worden in Washington State every year. It was an adventure and as always.... awesome!! I will be posting photos from the trip soon.

Our new website is up and running and looks great! Check it out and let us know what you think. Debi did a great job for us! That web site is www.dpartworks.net. New stamps are on the way. We are creating them and we should have a new catalog in June. Our new Cincinnati Stamps, however, will be released at Stampaway 2009 (in August). We are so excited about this show. We had a planning meeting about the booth and demos for this year....It is going to ROCK! More on this later.

Amy, in R&D, has brought some new and fresh ideas to DP Artworks and is developing them for us. She is the owner of Heavy Metal Jewelry and is based out of Mustang, OK. Her company is doing awesome and has now gone international! You go girl!

More soon!

My Secret Garden

And here it is, the book that I have been working on, and am now done! It is a cute little book. It measures 6" tall by 4" wide. This is a class that I will be teaching on March 21st. There is more information below. This class include; stamping, collaging, coloring and ink work, carving (a niche), shading, stuffing, cutting, gluing, acetate placement, and much, much, more!

Here are two pages from the My Secret Garden altered book that I will be teaching later this month. There is more information below. The class will be a lot of fun. Hope to see you all there!

Here are more photos of the altered book My Secret Garden. This is a class that I am offering at And Bear Makes 3, in Moore, Oklahoma. The class is on March 21st. Bears email address is andbearmakes3.com. Check out their website for other classes. On the 15th of March I am teaching a soldering glass. That is always a fun class.

Great new card!

Check out this awesome card. It was made from a fantastic artist named Bobbey Sakoman! She is one of our sponsored artist and has sent us many great samples. I will be posting more of her samples soon.
Another one of our sponsored artist is Vicki Bridges. Her work is also out of this world. She is one of our local talents and teaches at our local stamp stores (And Bear Makes 3, located in Moore, Oklahoma).
On a totally different note...Debi (our web master) has been hard at work changing our website...I hope it will be up in the next couple of weeks. (Our old one is up now) That website is dpartw0rks.net . I can't wait to see how it looks. The newest supplement will be added. But just when we get it updated, we will be adding new images...they are already in the works.
Stampaway news! We have been accepted to teach @ Stampaway 2009! Yippy! It is an awesome convention. People fly in from every corner of the US (and Canada) to shop and take classes. If you are looking for something fun to do in August...think about going to Cincinnati. You'll meet lots of people and get great ideas to spark your imagination. And hey, we will be there! We could be your new best friends.
More soon........

Easter cards are on there way and will be posted in a few days. Tressa has been working on these cards for several days.

More stampaway cards

The inchie card was made by Tressa Burnett. Tressa is a sponsored artist here in Norman, Oklahoma. Everything she makes turns out so great. This Mona card was originally made by our sponsored artist Vicki Bridges. Vicki lives in Moore, Oklahoma and has made so many great cards for us. She has been kind enough to let us use it for our class @ Stampaway 2009! They both are great looking cards and will fit in nicely to our class. Gals...You both rock!
