Six new pieces just finished. My art has been taking a different turn lately, I have been experimenting with different subject matter, colors and adding a ton of texture. I love carving words and sayings into the paint and I'm pretty happy with the way they have turned out. Wanna see them in person? Come see me and many other talented artists at the Beehive Bazaar May 5-8 at the Thanksgiving Point Barn.

My friend Emily had a baby boy last month. I painted this for her. Got me wondering if there is a market for "boy" paintings? Also experimenting with textures, like scratching words and numbers into the paint, what do you think?

Get your craft on

The first annual Craft Lake City Festival will take place on Saturday August 8, 2009 from 2 p.m. - 10 p.m. at the The Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City. This event will be FREE and open to the public.

This outdoor alternative arts festival will showcase over 80 vendors specializing in handmade goods such as: silk screened posters, progressive crafts, DIY designs, reconstructed clothing, knitted items, jewelry, letter-pressed books and more. Affordable prices and original, artful pieces will be emphasized in every merchant’s booth.

Entertainment will be provided throughout the day and will include: vendor demonstrations, street performers and local musicians.

Inspired by national craft festivals such as the Renegade Craft Fair and the Bazaar Bizarre, Craft Lake City will prove to be an exciting festival—showcasing crafters from all walks of life for shoppers of all-ages. Craft Lake City is the first of its kind to hit the Wasatch front.

Whether you are head of your homemaking night or an emerging DIY artist, Craft Lake City is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in the local handmade community.

Bijou Market

I was thrilled with my success at the Bijou Market. I never dreamed that I could sell 6 paintings and all but two birds at a 6 hour boutique. Thank you to all who came and supported the local artists and who enjoyed and purchased my goods. I am still working on my Etsy shop, hopefully it will be open this week. Gotta go make some more stuff now.

Commission Completed

2009-06-23T15:36:00.000-07:00

Finally after a couple of setbacks, the O'Brien commissioned painting is completed. I don't do paintings this large very often, 4ft x 3ft, but it was fun and the client was very patient and a delight to work with. I was thrilled to deliver it to her, she loved it and it looks fabulous in her space! Now I focus my efforts on the Bijou Market!

Beehive Bazaar

2009-05-03T09:28:00.000-07:00

The show is over, and I am exhausted. So much work, so much great food, I'm pretty sure I gained 10 lbs. in three days. I am so grateful for my girlfriends, I love getting to spend these three days side by side. The anxiety of exposing myself to swine flu and trying to give customers the correct change is all worth it. We have a tradition of going out for a late dinner after the last night of the show and we just laugh so hard and tell stories about some of the crazy customers, like the lady that helped herself to an entire cupcake of Steph's and said she thought it was a sample. (WHAT?????) Looney tunes!

Good news for me, I completely sold out of the paper mache birds, bad news for you if you didn't get one when you had the chance. A big thanks to the SLC blog "Your Heart Out" for spotlighting my goods. If you missed out, don't worry, I will be making more and selling them on Etsy. Stay tuned I'll let you know when I get it up and running.

I sold a few dollys and I used a couple to trade for some great items that I really wanted from other vendors. There are 2 large and 1 small still available.

The paintings sold very well, I only have a few left, check my gallery page HERE to see what's still available. I have a beautiful restaurant that has requested some, so I'll let you in on that when it is a done deal.

My bird boxes that I just love love love did not do as well as I hoped, I hate being wrong! I am putting the small one in Isabelle's room, it looks darling in there. I have three large ones still available. Maybe they were just too large or expensive for a show like this, or people just didn't know what to do with them. I still believe in them!!! Maybe I will make some smaller ones and try again. Any feed back you have would be appreciated.

Also, a big shout out to my friends/swimming buddies of Motley Handmade, their booth was a huge hit! Good job ladies!

Beehive Bazaar

2009-04-22T15:43:00.001-07:00

I have been a busy girl down in my messy studio this month. The Beehive Bazaar is next week and here is a sneek peek at some of my latest creations. My hand painted dolls began as birthday presents for my ladies. I got such great feed back I have made a few for the show.

My funny little birds have lept out of my paintings and have come to life in paper mache! We will see how they do at the show too. If they are a hit I plan on selling them on Etsy, wish me luck!

This idea came to me in a dream. I have created these large bird dioramas. Don't you just want to climb in there and look around?

What else will you see? I know money is tight for all of us right now, which is why I decided to create a line of smaller recession friendly priced original paintings. Don't have any pics yet, stay tuned! Hope to see you there.
