Our foray into the land of cute

We've just added a new line of pendants to Blend Creations: Chinese zodiac pendants.

This year is the year of the pig. (It'll be the year of the pig until the next Chinese new year, February 7, 2008).


The illustrations were taken straight from the pages of our sketchbooks, and while we're responsible for all of them, we each have our favourites. Eric's is the "rat":

(Just so you know, next year is the year of the rat!)

My favourite is the "dragon":

I like him best probably because I thought he would be the hardest to illustrate, but he just kind of flew onto the page.

Both Eric and I were born in the year of the "tiger",

so he's a bit special that way -- and now, if you do the math, you can hazard a pretty good guess as to both our ages. (Yes we're old! ;) but we still like cute things). You can see the full set of Chinese zodiac pendants here.
