Announcing My New Artfire.com Studio
I’m excited to share that I have opened my own Artfire.com Studio. What is Artfire? Here is how the company describes itself on the site: “The premier online marketplace for handmade products designed by artisans around the globe. Our free community is designed for artisans to buy and sell their works, while celebrating unique handmade [...]
Face Lift
No, not me. And not the Musee d’Orsay (pictured to the left as some eye candy!) My blog! A big thanks to Tracey, owner of eeep! productions, my web designer. Tracey and I realized that it had been two years since I changed my blog up. TWO YEARS! That’s far too long for a site [...]
Post Treatment Update, Cabinet Cards for Sale
It’s Monday. After a long weekend of fatigue and nausea, I was able to sit in the studio for a while today. I cleared off my desk and even did some sewing today. I finished up two small journals for Beads-n-More/SunSpirit Studio in Bisbee. Another of my journals sold there this weekend and they’re having [...]
Back from Bisbee
I’m back from Bisbee, AZ, where I was able to be there for the Grand Opening of SunSpirit Studio. My dear friend, Andrea, asked me to come and be the Featured Artist. I was honored and humbled to do so. Andrea looked through all my art when she was here in August for Art Unraveled. [...]
Finally rejuvenated from Art Unraveled!
Most of this week has been spent recuperating from Art Unraveled. As Angie said to me on the phone the other day, I borrowed spoons from everywhere for this event! But I had a ball. It was great to connect with friends from last year, to re-connect with people who I only see at classes, [...]
Art, as promised!
This week, while I was recovering, I regrouped much faster than I anticipated. This was good news, because this weekend Art Unraveled starts. And Tracey and Andrea are all coming into town to play! We are all having dinner tonight and Angie will join us. In other news, I think I mentioned that I’m going [...]
First Commission
I got my first commission request for the pouches. Shirley McCutcheon (who is in the current issue of Somerset Memories!) asked me to make a bag for her Garmin Nuvi GPS. She preferred blue. Well, I was so excited to start on this project that I have done little else art-wise since she ordered it. [...]
More sewing, friends, and more!
Well, I am in love. My new Pfaff is JUST AMAZING! I even went out and bought a case at JoAnn’s at half-price, because I know I can’t take Katie Kendrick‘s class at Art Unraveled in two weeks without the NICE machine. I can’t believe I planned to go with the other machine. I don’t [...]
Art to share and pictures, as promised
As promised, I’m sharing with you some of the things I’ve been creating for the past two weeks. First some paper and fabric collage cards – a stationary set. This will be in my etsy shop later today. This stationery package has six different but coordinating cards. The cards are all handmade, each is a [...]
