Each week seems to be getting more hectic than the last... hectic, but fun
Creative Finds:I am now down to only looking for 6-8 more vendors for the Creative Finds Art and Fine Craft Market. We have met our quota for jewelry and handbag designers. Funny thing is.... no holiday ornaments yet. We had our Open House/Jury event last Sunday. Unfortunately the weather was atrocious with heavy rain and unpleasant winds. A few came out, but most just emailed me regarding their applications. Ever day since has had a forecast for rain, but has been quite lovely. Go figure, hey? ha ha
A Treasure in the mail:
The mermaid showing you your refection in her mirror is a wonderful creation sent to me by my Glitter Sister Craftyhala. We participated in a 'Mermaid Swap' through Artist Violette's message board.
I just love my mermaid! She is made of polymer clay and is attached to the front of a funky wooden holder. I think I may use her to hold my envelopes. As you can see... my Catscratch softy seems to be quite taken by her (ha ha).
Thanks Craftyhala!
Creative Supplies:
Another Glitter Sister, Sioux is trying her hand at fabric painting and wanted to know what paint brushes I used. I use the same brushes as when I do my acrylic paintings. I have always been a fan of the 'smaller' brush and find the big ones over powering and quite clunky. I like my shaders & spotters, etc.
The other photo is of new goodies I bought yesterday from a local stained glass supply shop. These will be used to create more of my 'Girlz' soldered pendants.
Well I am heading off now to go revive the pink in my hair. Have a great night!
Keep smiling and creating!
