I started this blog to overlap what I create with other like-minded artists to share the artwork of my friends to share the blogs and web sites of others that I enjoy and eventually to add some things for sale.
Whew it's been awhile since I posted. I doubled the space in my booth in Winchester for the month of Nov and had to have all the new items added by the end of Oct. I made it with a day to spare. Then I took part in the change state house there the first weekend in November. Now that is stable for the be of the month and then I'll be removing everything at the end of Nov. I'm looking for something closer to home given that gas prices continue to rise. I am also still selling a few things at the Damselfly in Midway -- another gas guzzling drive. And recently my multi-talented friend Amanda (www hippieartchick com) asked if I would like to place some things in a booth she and Lynn Oakes (www blueacornwoolens com) were having for two weeks at the Louisville International Livestock show!! They filled their booth with their beautiful creations and I was honored and humbled that they allowed my pieces to be with their gorgeous handmade rugs woven kitted crocheted and felted creations as come up as their many and varied hand dyed yarns. I made some fabric landscapes fiber necklaces and some fabric postcards. I've posted the framed landscapes and necklaces below. I didn't get a chance to scan the postcards. These gals are so talented in so many ways and I was so happy to spend a day there with them and just absorb all their knowledge and react at their shawls hats purses yarns patterns and kits. They start out with wool from the sheep and end up with the final product -- yarn and wool roving -- which they then dye is glorious colors. They also had really soft llama roving and incredibly soft angora fur dyed to a lovely teal color. You can see the llama wool on my Close at Hand Arts blog (link is to the alter under Favorite Blogs). I made some Llama Pup die cut cards as this week's separate in the new Adopt a Dog card series. While most of the booths at the convention center were farm and Western related there were several booths with jewelry and other goods but I didn't see one that held a candle to Amanda and Lynn's booth. I knew I had to go domiciliate with one of Lynn's beautiful felted purses and was so fortunate that she took a liking to two of my fabric landscapes -- so we did what most artists and crafts populate do at these kinds of events -- we traded -- and I came home not only with a gorgeous hand knitted and felted round but with some of her gorgeous yarns as come up as some more of Amanda's -- the smallest thinnest narrate I've ever seen -- have no idea what I'm going to do with it but will undergo to feature it somewhere somehow!More later. I'm about to turn into a pumpkin! Will post Lynn's purse that I came home with soon.
Mercy you've been busy! And oh my the colors on those necklaces. Lorraine -- so go so soft looking --- what a grand job!! I wish sales increase for you -- this seems desire such a weird year doesn't it?? But look at all the fun you're having!
I consider myself an eclectic artist and crafts person and what I enjoy most is recycling almost anything into an art conjoin.
