A New Idea

My new Art Bevels!

Working in softer colors and getting back to my favorite watercolors and pen and ink.

These little pieces of art can fit just about anywhere!

They are now listed on ETSY with more to come.

Arts and Craft Show Booth

My display booth is different at every show I go to. It has been a work in progress and I like the way it went together at this show the best so far. I do like the look of the swirls on this carpeting, very whimsical and sort of goes with my whole whimsical theme :) Unfortunately the lighting was bad in this part of the room and I only brought one light. (Note to self; buy more clip on lights!) Lisa the show organizer was kind enough to lend me another lamp. The shelf unit on the center table I found at an estate sale and nailed a decoupaged board to the back of it. It worked very well for my new birds and small paintings.

Craft Fair at Spackenkill Last Weekend

My booth is a work in progress.



My new design for crows.



I have been having so much trouble getting pictures out of my Droid. It takes beautiful pictures but I can't seem to get them up loaded correctly to Picasa. I have a grey section on a bunch of photos that I can't figure out how it happened. Anyway these two are ok, I have better ones but I am still working on them. The fair was very nice and it was great to see some past customers. I am getting ready for the Dutchess Arts Council Fair next weekend. More birds and paintings and ornaments and note cards........

Vintage Paper Rosette Ornaments

It's been a very busy time around here, I will be doing a harvest festival next weekend and then a few other fairs coming up. My very best friend, Franny, has been coming to help me two days a week and what a god send that has been, (plus we get to catch-up on things)! She has been wearing her little fingers to the bone, folding and cutting and sticking and tying, the rosette ornaments.
It's giving me more time to make up the silly little dolls that I love to do, Franny I can't thank you enough!! Here are a few pics of my studio in all it's messy glory!
The Harvest Festival is in Marlboro, NY if you are out and about on October 3rd you should stop by. It is also the opening of the Walkway across the Hudson, the longest pedestrian walkway in the world and it is just down the road. You can't beat the scenery in the Hudson River Valley anywhere this time of year!
