Valentine Art Blocks

The Christmas tree was dismantled earlier this week and our winter wear is being put to very good use. It seems like the perfect time to look ahead to sweet thoughts of love and friendship. If I do say so myself....these Valentine art blocks last much longer than a box of chocolates and they won't melt either.

December Art Blocks

A festive group of art blocks for the last month of the year. I think this will be the final set of holiday blocks unless they all sell out in the next couple of days ;) A big thanks to all of you who have shopped at Sushipot's Holiday Sale. The sale continues through midnight of December 8th....enter the code: HOHOHO for 25% off your entire purchase at Sushipot plus free shipping anywhere in the world.

Winter Collage Blocks

The first snowflakes of the season drifted down earlier this week. Looks like we're in for a long winter. On the to-do list this weekend....shop for snow boots. Gotta keep our tootsies warm! This wintery mix of collage blocks will be posted in the shop today.

More Holiday Blocks

More holiday blocks for you this Monday morning. Lots of classic toys featured this time 'round....dolls, hobby horsies, a pull toy, balls, drums, a teddy bear and a roly poly clown. I've got a few assemblage pieces underway here in the studio and another handful of dangle ornaments. Will definitely get the ornaments in the shop this week and hopefully some assemblage.

Winter Art Blocks

 

We had our first freeze a few nights ago here in Springfield, Missouri. Some of the neighborhood trees are already bare and the sound of leaf blowers has become the norm. Looks like winter is right around the corner! A dozen art blocks are ready be stocked in the shop today along with some ornaments.

2014 Holiday Art Blocks

Oh what a jolly mix of toys and Santa Clauses I've concocted this year! Listening to Christmas tunes in October does the trick ;) I will be stocking the shop with these holiday art blocks (and a few others!) throughout the day.

Eight Years & Counting

Vintage Letterpress Number 8 at Wretched Shekels

Eight years ago I stumbled across a fledgling website named Etsy and decided to pitch a tent under the moniker Sushipot. Little did I know that small action would turn into a full time venture (job!) for me. As Patrick has pointed out so sweetly, I've never held any other job down for that length of time. haha! Working for myself, working from home and working with my hands everyday is a dream come true. And to celebrate these eight years (....and counting!) I'm having a BIG sale on my most popular product:

Sushipot's Art Block Sale

1/2 OFF All Art Blocks

Sale ends Sept 21 at 11pm cst  

To each and every Sushipot patron around the world....a big THANK YOU for making this my reality.

September Blocks

There are only twelve days 'til the autumnal equinox and around six weeks to Halloween. This means my September offering of art blocks needed a spine-tingling vibe....that and I've been listening to this reading of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde while I cut and paste.

August Blocks

Summer is fleeting....I actually have the ac off and the windows flung open this morning....Springfield public schools started back today....Patrick starts teaching next week....the window of sunshine for our evening walks is narrowing....I'm not ready for it to end. This month's art blocks include snippets of Summer pleasures and hints of the coming Autumn. Let's savor these warm days while we still can!

July Art Blocks

Can you believe we're already half-way through the year? This one seems to be picking up speed! July's art blocks are ready a bit early and I will be posting them in the shop this afternoon. If you see one you would like to reserve you can send me a note right here. Wishing you a lovely July.

June Art Blocks

There are only ten days until the summer solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere. Filled these little treasures with lots of sunshine (and a moon!)....plenty to share with my friends on the Southern Hemisphere too ;) These will all be in the shop by the end of the day.

May Art Blocks

My offering of art blocks for the month of May will be sprinkled into the shop today. There are two distinct groups this round....one of fanciful fun and the other of natural wonder. Enjoy your weekend!

March Art Blocks

We've been enjoying warm Springtime breezes and slightly longer days (thanks to daylight savings last weekend). I'm welcoming the real thing and am quite ready for my 'happy lamp' to collect dust 'til next winter. This month's art blocks have been steeped in all sorts of sunny thoughts :) They'll be in the shop today.

Spring Art Blocks

Can you believe it's already March? It snowed all day yesterday and I'm crossing fingers this is the last of the season 'cuz there are only 16 days till Spring! If you can't tell I'm in the mood for some balmy weather, pretty flowers and long walks. These fresh, springtime art blocks will be sprinkled into the shop today.

February Art Blocks

February's installment of art blocks will be listed in the shop throughout the day. Here's a preview of most--there are 16 total so a few surprises to watch for. Working with the hand marbled paper was a delight. The colors complimented the old paper snippets in my stash of collage material oh so perfectly.

More January Blocks

As promised I'm back with another round of collage blocks. This grouping nods to the upcoming Valentine season and hints of Spring. Can you tell I'm beginning to tire of the roller coaster temperatures here in the Midwest? Gotta find creative ways to stave off impending cabin fever.

January Art Blocks

A dozen art blocks will be in the shop this afternoon. Another dozen or so to follow later on this week. I'm doing my best to stay busy during these short January days. Enjoy!

Holiday Art Blocks

It's all about toys this time of year! I've been compiling lists of toy ideas for the kiddos in my life and I need to get cracking with the shopping. Anyhow...toys have been on my mind and this new grouping of holiday art blocks goes right along with that theme...dolls, wooden blocks, nutcrackers, trains and of course the man who makes all the magic....Mr. Santa himself.

Christmas Art Blocks

Doing my best to keep a good selection of Christmas art blocks in the shop. They are such fun to mix & match and look great propped on the mantle. Take a peek at all available art blocks right here.
