Scrunching a few things in this one
So things have settled enough for me to realize that I have overbooked myself in May. I’m hosting/teaching an ATC Make & Swap at the Ben Robertson Community Center in Kennesaw on May 5th, selling at the Hatch Market in Griffin, GA and two smaller art shows in Marietta – one at an apartment complex [...]
The Tree Fiasco
oops.
I swear I have a good excuse.
You see, this Tree – a red oak – was uprooted during a horrible storm with winds reaching 75mph last Monday April 13th (tree with a capital T since it’s 100 year life-span and 15-ton weight sort of make it a Tree). It fell in the direction of our [...]
We love art but not artists…
I know this has probably made its rounds but I feel it’s an important thing to see. A 2003 survey to measure USAmericans’ attitudes towards art an artists says that we as a whole value art highly (96%) but not many value artists themselves (27%). This is a very odd paradox, but nothing that I [...]
Winning Prizes & Upcoming Festival
Earlier this month I entered the North Cobb Arts League Fall Juried Exhibition with a painting I’d been working on for a couple months and two of my handmade books. One is “Snake” which is available on Etsy, and the other is a book I called “Light” with polymer clay covers & all sorts of [...]
Possibly switching gears
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I want my life to look. I am not a fan of mass-production, and don’t feel that I can take that route. I don’t think that selling my art & craft will be the way I make my living since it requires being a factory of sorts. [...]
SALE!
Let’s kick off the hottest days of the year with a sale! All handmade books are at least 15% (markdowns have already been taken). And if you spend $50 or more and get free shipping!
It’s almost here!
About a year ago I submitted some journal pages for a book called “1000 Artist Journal Pages.” Today I got a glimpse of the cover, and realized it’ll be out in July! There are so many fantastic journal artists and I just can’t wait to get a copy. Go pre-order it from Amazon!.
Upcoming Craft Fair
The Big Shanty Festival in Downtown Kennesaw is rapidly approaching, and I’m nearly panicking. But I’ll make it, I swear! April 19 & 20, I’ll be in front of the yellow house.
Here’s a peek at last year:
Not binding books for a while (if you’re squeamish, skip this post)
I Twittered earlier “Knife:1. Finger:0. Ow.” Indeed. I’ll spare you the photo although I was tempted to post one for an awe-inducing visual, but I sliced my finger with my brand new J. A. Henckels Santoku knife while cutting mushrooms for a pasta-less veggie lasagne (firefox insists it’s “lasagna” but it doesn’t look right to [...]
I have been Made…
I just got accepted into the Atlanta Craft Mafia! I’m happy to be a part of the familia. Keep up with the goings-on at their web site, and I’ll keep my blog updated with the Craft Mafia happenings.
