I've found a new blog

Actually I didn't find it, it was pointed out to me. My very talented friend, Michelle, has started a blog and a page on facebook. She takes creativity to a new level and is quite an inspiration to me. These pictures were taken last year at the Schooner Wharf art show. It's coming up again, March 3, 2012. Mark your calendar.

Her blog is http://www.thegypsypalace.blogspot.com/

Her facebook page is GypsyPalaceStudio

Field Trip

Somethings defy an explanation. Little Pigs, big pig, farmer, box... then you have a finished piece.

Cloth Paper Scissors Challenge - Mini Houses

My little house is 2nd row, 3rd from the left,

Several months ago I spotted a challenge in Cloth Paper Scissrs. It was for creating mini houses. Well, I like mini stuff and I like mixed media art. Sounded great. After getting a very late start, and reading the instructions incorrectly, I entered the challenge on the very last day I could enter it. There were hundreds already listed so I didn't think I had much of a chance. I was amazed when I saw that my little house was selected. They selected 95 houses for their tiny little village and mine was one of them.

Rick Worth's Boot Camp

A few weeks ago I attended Rick Worth's Boot Camp.   It's a two-hour camp (this one was for women) where you paint a finished painting in two hours.  You use house paint in primary colors plus black and white.   He has a great approach, is funny, and very instructional.    It is certainly a fun time.

Wire Wrapped Pendant

A couple of years ago I made dozens of wire wrapped pendants. Sold a bunch. Need to make more, but this was the last one left and this week it found a new home in Pennsylvania. I am happy that it's going to a good home and will now feel like I can make a bunch more.

Sorry I haven't posted recently, but I've been having some problems with Blogspot and it turns out a google 'fix' didn't fix it. Hopefully no more problems.
