12 June - It has been a fast a furious pace on making jewelry and stocking Commonwheel Co-op and Wrought'n Apples. I have 3 more definite shows coming up in the next two months. For the Strawberry Days Festival in Glenwood Springs, I will be sharing a booth with Jeunko Major who makes the coolest shrimp-like eco-systems. You can see her work at www.bloominbee.com. I met her and got to know her when I bought an eco-system and we kept running into each other at fairs. We have even done some joint projects using the beads and crystals in and on the eco-systems. Very cool! Come see it if you can. Check the calendar for other shows.
18 April - Just finished packing up for the show at the Adams County Fairgrounds tomorrow. There will be over 200 artists, all with handmade crafts. The show benefits the Adams County Historical Society and Museum. Hope to see you there!
7 April - Sorry my website was down for a couple of days. My domain expired and I didn't know. Luckily, I was able to get the same one back! I attended my first Commonwheel Co-op member meeting. It was great to meet all the artists. My jewelry is now in place at the Co-op; come to Manitou Springs and see the great shop. I will be at Smoky Hill High School in Aurora this Saturday. Stop by my booth in the Atrium and see me if you are in the area. I have some new pictures to post thanks to Buffy Mormon from Wrought'n Apples. =^.^=
24 Mar - I've been accepted into the Commonwheel Co-op in Manitou Springs. Woo-hoo!!! For those of you not familiar with Manitou Springs, it is a funky artist town on the way to the Cog Railroad/Pike's Peak. I submitted my photos of my work, then got a call back to bring in pieces. The jury met last Tuesday and voila...I am in. And to top it all off, if you look at the CCS Fine Arts and Crafts postcard, one of my pieces in on the front. A published artist. HA!
13 Mar - I just finished a two night PMC (Precious Metal Clay) class with a terrific teacher, Melissa Marath Wagner of Fire Dog Studios. Boy, can she make some beautiful pieces. Three other great artists took part...shouts out to Laura, Cathy and Molly. It was great fun. I am gearing up for this weekend's Liberty HS Craft Fair and I am filling up a lot of my April weekends too. An exciting note from the stats department, on Mar 4th the site had 51 visitors! A record. Don't ask me why on that date so many popped up. But, it has got me to thinking about starting a bi-monthly prize giveaway of certain pieces. Sure it won't be the $90 necklace, but it could be earrings, pen, plant stake. (I just started making beaded plant stakes, but don't have any pictures yet. A great hostess gift idea!) I also now have 4 canape knife and fork sets on hand, another great housewarming gift. Oh well, need to finish up a few pieces and get packed up. If you are in the area, drop by to see me at Liberty High School, COS, booth #1.
4 Mar - I bought some fabulous new beads at Tucson and I was able to see a lot of my SRAs. (Self Representing Artists.) My great artists Maureen - from Pumpkin Hill beads - was there. Maragret from Neomythica was there. Penny Michelle, who does phenomenal bead critters was back. I also met some new SRAs too. Jeffrey Rogers is a stupendous artist with great boro beads. He was very patient with me on the last day at the last hourof the show. Thanks Jeff! You can find his website on my Cat's PJ page. For now, I have lots of new items, all of which aren't on the site. If you have a color or idea of something, don't hesitate to contact me. |
