Ravenswood ArtWalk, the third (2015)

September was a whirlwind of weekend fairs and pop-up applications. The Ravenswood ArtWalk was moved to mid-September as well, which proved to be a great idea weather wise. I had secured an indoor spot, which meant that the weather was lovely on both days. Had I been outside, the outcome would have been different, with […]

It’s back to back art fair time! On Sunday, September 27, I will be setting up shop in the Highland Art Park Center, where Ayla’s Originals is hosting its Fall Bead Bazaar. I’ve perused Ayla’s Wonderful World of Beads on numerous occasions and am thrilled to be part of the vendor line-up this year. Seventeen […]

Creations for Dutchies

I went on a family reunion trip during which I finally got to show my wares in person to my family. One person fell in love with the purple coral bangle I had made, but wanted it in blue so I found a strand of lapis chips at Dave’s Down to Earth Rock Shop. It […]

Spam and grasshopper friends

It was a scorching day on Saturday, but light breezes and the occasional cloud blocking the sun made the day lovely for an art fair. It was early when I set out to bring my wares to Bloomingdale. As always, Platt Hill Nursery has a plethora of fun and quirky garden accessories to peruse. The […]

Summer Selfies

It’s time for some Summer Selfies as I process numerous photos from my August travels. The Yellow Agate Set visited a few stores this quarter while the pink flower wax and wire pendant was admired during NEW’s recent Meet & Munch. I paired it with infinity earrings. in May I wore various Mother’s Day Pendants […]

Platt-A-Palooza this Saturday

This Saturday I will be surrounded by flowers and garden sculptures as I set up my shop at Bloomingdale’s Platt Hill Nursery. Last year’s Platt-A-Palooza was a blast, and I hope to find new and returning admirers of my jewelry and mini-collages this year. It was fun to browse the other tables and see all […]

Summer tally

It’s been a jam-packed summer. I was featured on the FUSEDChicago Facebook page. I saw my friends MyHealthBeet and ConnectedTissue wear their lovely new pendants out and about. A purple coral set was snapped up by a friend the moment I instagrammed it. I was pampered by Noktivo and promptly ruined the manicures (pedicures last, […]

Where the River Shannon Flows pendants

I got some studio time in recently and decided to add more musical pendants to my inventory (they keep selling out). I’ve just about used up the Irish Rose music sheet I received from a friend.  The song is really called: Where the River Shannon Flows. There’s a pretty spot in Ireland I always claim […]

The making of my Edges submission

This summer has been so busy that a deadline on my calendar snuck op on me. I only had one day before submissions were due for Edges, Morpho Gallery’s fourth annual encaustic show. I was part of Wax(‘N)Blue two years ago and always love the way this annual show comes together. I decided to continue […]

Pop-up Fun at Geneva’s Swedish Days

Summer is in full swing and life has been picking up with outdoor activities for leisure and for selling. My last Saturday in June was spent in Geneva for a Swedish Days pop-up. It was the first nice day after almost a week of Thunderstorms, so foot traffic was heavy even as I started setting […]
