C'est L'Halloween!!

This year I opted to be a bottle of ketchup. I remember trying to describe to people how I was going to pull it off.  I don't think they really got it until the whole thing came together.  I found this adorable little apricot vintage hat, and spray painted it white. ( trust me, my inner vintage self had chills doing this to such a cute hat) The red dress was an amazing find at Zara this past summer. It's actually one of my favorite dresses in my closet at the moment. That's why I opted for a "necklace" label, so as not to ruin my dress.

I hand painted the label and I noticed things on the label I had never really noticed before. Like why is there a pickle on it? Are there pickles in ketchup? Or is it a pepper? Confusion. Nonetheless I had a great evening amongst costumed friends! Happy Halloween everyone!




Penny dresses up too:)

Newest piece. For a sweethoundstooth.
Penny is also pushing me to do something kitten related. I told her she had to wait in line.

Of the Cute Variety

You can now purchase, promote or just peruse my illustrations on Society 6.  As tech savvy as I am ( ok not THAT tech savvy, but you know...in the know) it still baffles me how they can just smack your art on an iphone case. LOVE IT.

So take a peek at some of the printed options, ( or just the iphone case cause it's just so darn cool) and pass it around to your favorite iphone user. Moreso iphone users with naked iphones...!!!

Here is the link: Darcy's Society6 page which will be updated frequently with art de darce. I'm working on ANOTHER cupcake peice at the moment ( I know, I know what's with all the cakes in cup varieties) BUT it's gonna look mint as an iphone case.

Pineapple-- of the Clothing Variety

Is it just me or should the leaves be more colorful by this time of year?! I have photos taken last year at a pumpkin farm in Niagara-on-the-lake from Taylor and I's 2nd year anniversary. We were frolicking in the copius amounts of yellows and oranges. Our 3rd year is coming up next week ( Oct. 27th yippee!) and it is as green and brown as EVER. The climate is just CA RAZE EEE. ( must be said in 3 pronounced syllables.)

ANYWAY, I finally pulled out my little pineapple skirt and turned it into a fall piece, just. like. THAT! ( I just snapped my fingers).

I also paired them with a LOVELY pair of hand felted mittens by Tiny Toadstool. And let me just say that I got these mismatched samples for a steal of a deal ( only $60!!!) and I can rest easy and think more of them as they are the only ones in the WORLD.
