Dolphin with Legs!

I had the strangest custom order request a couple months ago...it was so bizarre that I thought it was a joke. After speaking to them a couple times I figured they were serious so I went ahead a drew their crazy request: a dolphin with legs. Yes, a dolphin with legs. I wasn't sure if he wanted the dolphin to have pants or just look like a dolphin, but with legs so I drew him a few different options. I would normally say no to drawing dolphins, but this was such a strange request and an even stranger background story that I had to do it. He told me it was for his girlfriend who believed that dolphins had legs when they were in the womb and right when they are about to be born their legs become a tail. Not sure how old his girlfriend is, but the story alone made me want to try drawing some dolphins with legs. After sending him my sketches I never heard back from him. I was going through some of my drawings tonight and found them, so I thought I'd post them here. Enjoy.

Final Studio Setup + Craft Night this Friday!

The studio is finally put together! I want to get more chairs for it or maybe a small couch, but all in all it's all set up and painted. I found an old door and turned it into a desk (center of first photo). I am loving the new larger studio, except for the fact that the heat broke and the landlord at Ewing and Clark will not fix it. The heat has been broken for almost a month. I bought a small heater so I can pour resin, but it is still pretty cold. The best part about the new studio is that I have many work stations set up. I have an area to take photos, an area to roll out and bake the pendants, and a place to pour resin. Here's what it looks like:

I've also been working on some custom pieces. I had a great opportunity to create a Ganesha belt buckle. Here are the sketches I did; she chose the first one. 

The first craft night at the new studio is this Friday!! We are going to make pin pricked cards as seen here: http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/how-tuesday-pinprick-cards-11855/ 

Can't wait!
