a work in progress….
Wow – these are late to the internet…. These are from October 2013.
Bethany & Alexis made these:
And I made these:
Art night had one unintentional collaborations night in 2012, and these paintings came about (albeit a year later) because I had more paintings to use up, more paint, and a couple friends who missed out on the first monsters evening. Original inspiration came from these folks.
After many years of folks complaining they can never remember where to turn in to my house, I put some reflectors up on one of the trees next to my driveway. This is a variation of the Latvian symbol for good luck (Laimes zΔ«me):
What I didn’t realize is just how happy it makes me to drive past this. Day or night, sun or rain, this thing makes me grin. Β The next step is to repeat this on the other tree across the way, so that my place is easy to find from either direction.
I accidentally a hipster pumpkin.
Other art night pumpkins here. I think that there were 5 pumpkins carved that night?
Last weekend I was in a spur-of-the moment (like they called around 7pm the night before) craft fair. I met some nice people, didn’t sell much, and am super grateful to those friends who stopped by to hang out π
I guess I made enough stuff to fill a table π I almost even look a little professional, if I do say so myself.
I was at Milwaukee’s Latvian Song & Dance Festival from July 4 – 8. This year I was selling sandblasted glassware, jewelry, decorative switchplates, and lino printed cards. My mom had the table next to me, which was fun π Now slowly moving onto (what feels like a monumental task) photographing jewelry and other items to post up for sale on Etsy.
Here’s the other animal/monster for the baby mobile we made in March π
This year, for the first time ever, I participated in a glass magless exchange (technically “magnets” but since everyone would have had to pay extra shipping costs if everyone glued magnets on to the back of their work, we all skipped the “glue magnet on” step and hence then name “magless”). I made fish. One heckuva LOT of fish:
In March, I made two stuffed animals for a dear friend’s baby mobile….. these are the only pictures I took, though, so you folks might not get to see the green bat/owl/monster that also went to her house.
