Happy Holidays!

I need to get my act together and make my X-mas cards on my new press-I call him "Presley". We actually have space in the garage for the press.
We'll see how things go.

Front view of the "Kings of the Blues" guitar I made for the Core Gallery's "Blue" show.
Guitars must be popular-everyone one that I have decorated has sold.
My next guitar will have a Western theme for the Western Welcome Week show-August 15th.

Hey!

Thank you to everyone that came out into the 103 degree weather for the first, Aug 3 Paris Street Market! We sold a couple purses, two boxes, a collage and one picket.

Just to let everyone know I will be at the September Paris Street Market on September 6th.

Western Welcome Week's art show was a bust (8/16/08). The rain wouldn't stop, along with some thunder and lightning and yes-even hail. Some of my artwork got warped with all the unusual humidity we had. In all the years of living in Colorado-I had not seen such huge rain storm in all of my 18 years of living in Colorado. (gosh-has it been that long??)

I've had a special request to make some more altered dartboards. After my September show I will devote more time to the boxes.

2008-07-02T11:58:00.000-07:00

Hello-

I have had some requests to show an example of one of my altered dartboard jewerly boxes.
So here they are.

Please e-mail me if you have a question about prices.

Having a great summer and here's hoping you all are too.

-Special note for Sunflower: I think it is great you are creating art. I am proud of you!!

Spring Fling

Recently, my artwork has been accepted by Amy at Mind Your Manor, a store in downtown Littleton. Many of the pieces I submitted to Amy were sold at the Spring Fling in Denver. My friend Anita and I went to the show and it was great seeing my artwork and visiting fellow artist that share my mixed media art passion. The vintage items were great. I was happy to sell some of my items at the show.

Just another post

A note to say hello.

This is what I have up to.
I submitted two pieces to the Core's show "anything goes". The art work at the opening was great. There was a great variety of projects.

I have a great job teaching art at Mark Twain Elementary. The art room is great, the students are talented and the teaching is going great.

Welcome!

This last summer was the summer for art shows. It started with the Art Student League Show in June. This was a fantastic show and I enjoyed the venue and the customers and other artists. I hope to participate in the ASL show again next year.

In August, I submitted three assemblages into the Core Art Gallery Assemblage Show. All three of my pieces got in. At the opening of the show, I met another assemblage artist my husband works with. The artist's name is Ginger and she gave me pointers and tips on creating assemblages and where to get good sources (www. clothpaperscissors.com).

The newest photos in this blog are from the summer of 2007.
