On May 29th, 2013 we opened up an on-line shop at Etsy.com! The site features our gift boxes, blank and thank you cards, bookmarks, menus and more. Also, two Ebay pages.

Most of the floral designs used were created by local Vancouver Artist, Dennis Magusson. Dennis is featured in the June 2013 issue of Canadian art magazine, Arabella, and listed as one of Canada’s leading floral painters. Sparksfly Design are very grateful to Dennis for allowing us exclusive use of his beautiful images.

Enjoy!

OK, so it’s not a watermelon carving. Clive had a go at carving a strawberry and placing it in some cereal with cream. Makes for a fun little picture don’t you think?

City TV (Breakfast Television) is arriving next week to film Clive in action! You’ll see from our website that he’s already been bashing out a few pumpkins this season! Here’s one that I personally love, “The Executioner” carved from about a 50lb Atlantic Giant Pumpkin. Awesome.

Seems like Clive’s watermelons really are a huge hit! He just signed on with Caters News Agency in the UK June 27th and already his carvings featured in the many online papers and magazines listed below (at least that I could find, might be more). Some were actually published in print (i.e. Metro News UK).

June 28th – July 10

And that’s not even counting the few 100 sites that have grabbed a photo from our site and linked his photos. Facebook and Twitter sites? How many? Who knows?

I think that the people at Incredible things, Cheezburger, Go Carving and Deviant Art and Nerdcore also deserve a little recognition and praise for recognizing his carvings and spreading the word! And you’ll even find lots of Clive’s pics on Pinterest!

Just had to feature one of my sister Janine’s lovely pencil drawings. It is of a Japanese Geisha sculpture in my garden. Jan has included a crane on the collar of the kimono as this picture is being presented at an artshow for the launch of Annette LeBox’s new book a Circle of Cranes.

This has to be one of my favorite watermelon carvings Clive has done. I think it’s really whimsical. How many Samurai Warrior watermelons have you seen lately? Click on the photo to enter the Watermelon Carving gallery and check out his pumpkin carvings while you are on the site as well.
