I'm a busy lady! <br /><br /><a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/?action=view¤t=Messyarttable3-10.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/Messyarttable3-10.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Is it bad that my girls think that all mom's paint? lol They seriously do. They think that's what you do when you are an adult and a mommy. Oh dear...<br /><br />Also to note, there is an 'art room' in our unfinished basement that was drywalled for me for as an xmas present so that I could finish it the way I want. What do you think that looks like right now?

This is a 16x20 gallery wrapped (1.5"thick) mixed media canvas created with acrylics, papers, distressed ink and lots of love.<br /><br />I am taking orders for your own custom 'Best place on Earth' canvas :) Check the listing on my Etsy site <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42397685">HERE</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/?action=view&current=BestplaceonEarth-2-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/BestplaceonEarth-2-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/?action=view&current=BestplaceonEarth-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Earth storyboard-for blog" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/BestplaceonEarth-1-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I also created this 15x30 Gallery wrapped canvas that says 'Life is but a Dream'.

You are the BEST!!*TinkerDot Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12075862521081976135noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538479488976271861.post-49569718497629050902010-02-17T13:07:00.007-05:002010-06-22T00:49:23.227-04:00A NEW look...finding my way and feeling inspired.The last two years I have been blesssed with great support in starting this business, and sort of flying by the seat of my pants with figuring out how to balance an outside career, 2 daughters, a husband, and painting. TinkerDot Designs all started and is still primarily based on custom orders, which I LOVE, however, I have also realized that it leaves little time for me to spread my wings and create the art I really want to create and to really play with different techniques, textures, etc. ...sort of explore myself as an artist.<br /><br />So, be prepared for a few changes in 2010!!! :) (I'm also telling myself this...) Nothing changing with the things I offer as of this moment...but soon.<br /><br />One thing I am going to try this year is a few gallery shows. In preparation for these shows, I am creating some NEW pieces. I am showing you a sneak preview of one of my newest.<br />TA-DA!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/?action=view&current=BestplaceonEarth.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/BestplaceonEarth.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />While these pics aren't the best (my photog sister isn't in town until next weekend...eek!), the mixed media, busy type of art you see here is EXACTLY the kind of art that makes me want to paint everyday.<br /><br /><a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/?action=view&current=BestplaceonEarth-closeside.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/BestplaceonEarth-closeside.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />While this canvas only touches the surface of what I plan to explore, I hope you love it.<br /><br />I am hoping and praying that my fans will support me as I continue to venture toward a more mixed-media collage type art. My art will be directed toward all ages as well as lots of 'kid-oriented' art still. I will strive to create art that has a positive, inspirational and fun message. <span style="font-size:130%;">I want to create art that you really want to stare at...that you want to touch...that leaves you inspired and smiling.</span><br /><br />Thank you, again, for your support. I hope you love this new style. I CANNOT wait to show you what else I have up my sleeve!!!!!! :)<br /><br />*ps..this canvas will be at the <a href="http://www.leonandlulu.com/">Leon & Lulu</a> show on Feb. 28th and March 2nd.* I will let you know if I will be creating more :)<br /><br />xoxo,<br />JenniTinkerDot Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12075862521081976135noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538479488976271861.post-52061395103947217052010-02-12T09:57:00.009-05:002010-06-22T00:51:37.103-04:00Custom order hiatus & a getaway weekend :)To start, I want to let everyone know that I will not be taking any new custom orders until at least March1st. I am busy playing catch-up on current orders as well as working on some SUPER FUN NEW pieces for the upcoming shows I will be at!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.leonandlulu.com/">Leon & Lulu</a><br />Artists Market<br />Clawson, MI<br />Feb. 28 & March 2<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bluehouseannarbor.com/">Blue House Ann Arbor</a><br />Handmade @ BlueHouse<br />Ann Arbor, MI<br />March 20th<br />*I will also have art in the store full-time..it opens March 1st!*<br /><br />When I say, SUPER FUN NEW pieces....I mean it! I will be starting a 'gallery' line (I guess you could call it). These paintings will not just be for kids rooms, but pieces you will hopefully love for your home. They will be larger, gallery wrapped original canvases and I will be using much more of the mixed media, collage style. I'M PUMPED!<br /><br />Now, on to a much more important topic, <span style="font-size:130%;">a getaway weekend</span>!! Yes, my DH and I will be going on a weekend retreat for Valentine's Day. Alright..I won't kid myself and say that it's for Valentine's Day..it's really because he is a teacher and this is 'mid-winter break', so it's the only time he gets the long weekend. lol. This is an annual outing for the Davison Basketball coaches and their significant others. There are about 7 other couples, all wonderful people and great friends...I am SOOO excited. Here is a pic of where we are going (picture snow on ground).<br /><br /><a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/?action=view&current=NorthernShoreLodge.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/NorthernShoreLodge.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.northernshorelodge.com/">NORTHERN SHORE LODGE</a><br /><br />Dave and I long are overdue on 'couple' time, and it's probably not because of our crazy, awesome daughters...but more because of my crazy, awesome, obsession with art, creating, and my business. So, for one weekend, I will PUT DOWN THE BRUSHES and put in some serious fun with wonderful friends and my super handsome, funny, caring, best friend...Dave :) I love you babe, even more than art...Happy Valentine's Day!! (he better still get me a card... ) xoxoxo<br /><br />Hope you take some time to love on the one's you love this weekend.<br /><br />xox ~ JenniTinkerDot Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12075862521081976135noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538479488976271861.post-78113466781845773532010-02-06T09:40:00.004-05:002010-02-06T16:45:15.082-05:00WE HAVE ANOTHER WINNER!!!<div align="center">Congratulations ot the NEW winner of the 'Mothers & Daugthers' canvas!!!

Her witt, sense of comedic timing, and sarcasm are the best! She is also a great writer and mother of 2 crazy boys who I never get to see (we live a town over and still don't make time to get together. boo).<br /><br />This is why I was happy to see that she has started a blog! So, if you would like to laugh and get an inside look at someone you likely don't even know...follow her blog!! You know you want to. Check it out at <a href="http://www.yourmomonmushrooms.blogspot.com/">Sum of this, Sum of that</a>.<br /><br />Cheers to you, Summer!

My name is Jenni Beamer. I am a wife (to my HS sweetheart!), mother of 2 awesome girls (6 and 4), full-time career woman for the American Cancer Society, and artist/business owner of TinkerDot Designs! The name was an idea from my mom, who is an amazing seamstress, who always wanted to open her own shop and TinkerDot Designs is what she wanted to call it. She loves me enough to let me steal the name from her ;) I have always loved creating, although I didn't necessarily start creating mixed media art until about 3 years ago. Now I am coming into my own style, having fun with new techniques and trying to unload my thoughts onto canvas every night (after tucking in my lovelies). I am your average 30yr old woman, who is just trying to live my best life and stay sane and balanced by nurturing the creative soul within and hoping I am helping my girls to do the same. I hope my art makes you smile and feel inspired as much as it does me. </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">Thank you for your continued support!</div></div>TinkerDot Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12075862521081976135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538479488976271861.post-30541924009457799962010-01-01T14:28:00.000-05:002010-02-22T14:29:32.611-05:00Portfolio*This page will be updated shortly*<br /><br />In the meantime, check my 'Blog Archives'.

I am so happy that we all got to enjoy time together. Unfortunately, I don't have many pics because I was video taping every moment. I'm super excited about that though.<br />So, here are some fun pics of some Christmas memories from the Beamer's.<br />We got a REAL tree this year! Dave and Grace went out to get it. He cut the top of a tree off...it is HUGE! Also, Grace changes her clothes at least 5 x a day, and she apparently thinks we live in California. lol<br /><a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/?action=view&current=Graceposewtree.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Grace,Christmas" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/Graceposewtree.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Lydia is a seriously goofy kid.

The kids were SOOO excited and in awe.

She was SOOO excited that Santa brought this for her because she surely recalls her mommy telling her she couldn't have it because it was for 8+. haha. Gotta pull out all the moves on Target shopping trips :)<br /><a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/?action=view&current=Gracedaddymakecupcakes-pose.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm129/tinkerdotdesigns/Gracedaddymakecupcakes-pose.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I hope you all had a fabulous Holiday!!
