"Moonlight Swim:"


I have no idea where the time goes. I haven't been very productive lately in terms of art & I have missed it dearly, I also haven't been blogging as is quite evident. I didn't feel like I had anything worth mentioning really.

The summer went way to fast. On a positive note I did get to exhibit my "Fairy Tree" picture at Mac-Worthington Gallery in Columbus, Ohio.

Currently I have the above piece "Moonlight Swim" on exhibit & will be going to the artist reception this Sat. 20th from 6-9. If you are in the area be sure to stop in & say hello! I will be looking for some other gallery's & venues in the upcoming year.

Happy Fall to everyone & I've missed my blog buddies.

for I would ride with you upon the

wind & dance upon the

mountains like a flame."

May we all be lucky enough to dance with the fairies :o)

Day 2 ZNE's Convenzione was the class I knew would be intense & it was!

Fairy Lamps with Iva Wilcox.

She is the master of antique, vintage fantasy! Her work is so beautiful! Her personality matches her work as well!

I was so thrilled to get to see her again. We had a great class & I was lucky enough to sit next to the famed Debrina (aka: spark your imagination)

I'm quite pleased with my little lamp & even more pleased it made it home in one piece!

more to come

Art-In-A-Carton

If you recall from a previous post I was asked to participate in a swap "Art-in-a-Carton" You create some artsy pieces & mail them off in a carton (or carton type item) to 3 fellow artists.

Cathy Minerva was the great lady that started me on to this. She sent some fun goodies in a can & I too used this idea. We don't drink anything in cartons so .... I found these fun little paint cans (at Menards) that I just covered in paper & embellished.

Then the fun task of filling them hmmmm I decided to include the things I love to make so that was simple;

1. mermaid shell ornie

2. pixie's in a pail,

3. faux cupcake,

4. fairy ATC's,

5. paper doll,

6. altered envelope,

7. art goodies (found objects)

So that in a nutshell er paint can is my version of art-in-a-carton

If you'd like to learn more go to the website www.art-in-a-carton.blogspot.com

I had a blast & can't wait to receive my 2 other cartons but better yet hear what the other girls thought of mine. :0)
