This weekend I have two exciting events. On Saturday my goddess design makes its debut at Nasty Women Evanston. Then on Sunday I will be part of a literal trunk show in Downtown Evanston. In conjunction with Evanston’s Oktoberfest, Evanston Made is hosting a Maker’s Market on the 5th Floor of the Maple Street Garage. […]

Artists who work with encaustics are naturally bee lovers as well, and I have often toyed with the idea of a beehive.

Since I’ve lived here I have passed the Toby Jug Museum numerous times. It always looks closed, but the hours are posted on the door and you can just ring the bell to be let in. The American Toby Jug Museum in Evanston houses more than 8000 Toby and Character jugs. It is the largest […]
We had a heat wave in Evanston Friday and Saturday. After the ever-lasting winter, I am not complaining. My one A/C unit is in the studio, so I set it up and when the ceiling fans could do no more I cleared off the futon to set up my computer station. Of course I got […]
With July comes a fun scavenger hunt for kids. Both Downtown Evanston and the Main-Dempster Mile have been invaded by small Waldos. Participants can pick up passports from various business, and then hunt for Waldo in local shops. Waldo has different names in different countries, and is a line drawn character children can search for […]

The organizers are making sure you still have opportunities to visit the venues you may have missed earlier this month. On Wednesday, June 26, the filmmakers of SIDE/Lot will be at […]
