Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Market!

I'm so excited about The Renegade Craft Fair next weekend! I'll be a vendor there amongst the other 200+ artists and vendors for this amazing event. This ain't your grandma's church bizarre, this is a juried show featuring talented artists and I am thrilled to be a part of it! I'll post more soon, hope to see you there.

Afterglow

Yesterday's show at The Glashaus was good as usual. The venue is an amazing space, an artist collective of every kind of medium. There is steel sculptures, pottery, paintings, tintype photos and more.
The place was turned into a holiday village in no time by the talented artists I shared the space with, some old pals and new friends too.
One of my favorite things about trunk shows is trading with other artists, I came home with some very cool stuff.
and I can't wait to trade at Renegade!!
Stay tuned for more photos and info on upcoming shows.

What I live for...

Today, through the tip of a friend, I was led to the home of a lovely octogenarian named Marty. She was having a yard sale and had a plethora of amazing things just waiting for the right home.This is just a taste of the
treasure I came home with and Marty was a pleasure to meet!

Baby Steps.

While still dealing with a little artist's block, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
My mantra is "baby steps". The idea that working on a few pieces is better than working none, seems to be luring me closer to the familiar frenetic pace I will eventually have adopt to get the job done.
So, here's a piece I love and my goal is to post one a day, so stay tuned!

Artist's Block

Just like writer's block, I get artist's block. It happens when the excitement and pressure begins to build whenever I have a busy season approaching. I'll sit and scour through the piles of treasure covering my work space with the best intentions of creating gobs of fabulous pieces, and the next thing I know, I'm baking cookies. Somehow, the inspiration evades me until the very last minute, at which time I then begin to crank out pieces through a foggy, sleep deprived haze.
Today, my goal is just to sit and wire wrap pearls and other beautiful beads and I'm hoping by tomorrow, my inner holiday elf will take over.
I'll be posting pieces as I get them done so that you can have a sneak peek of the goods I'll have at the upcoming shows. I'll post all the info for the shows soon too!
