I wish my studio wasn't my bedroom floor.

Just about one month until I move into a bigger place....until then......................

Spending the remainder of the night and all day tomorrow working on stuff for the ellO show.  Updates when I'm finished.

Sesame Street is still awesome.

I just love this.

Today was productive.  I worked on a small piece for the upcoming gallery show.  I'm trying to stay pretty simple and planning on doing 2 different series.  Hopefully the same person will buy the whole series.  Here's one from series #1, a continuation of my skirts and shoes series from a few months ago.  

This one is called "Cold Feet".

Also, I caught my new collection of apothecary jars in some good light this afternoon.  I'm so excited to move to my new apartment so I can display some of my treasures with some dignity.

Yet another find on my cleaning spree.  Grandma and me: June 1988.

ellO gallery show!

I found out yesterday that I've been accepted into a gallery show at ellO Gallery in Portsmouth, NH. It's the cute, hip gallery in downtown portsmouth.  A friend of mine, Annie Ridlon, has shown there a couple of times and tuned me in.  

The show is called "Cram It!"  Basically they are filling every space in the gallery with art, including the ceiling! All the art will be on sale for $10-$20.  Once purchased, the work may be taken home immediately.  The gallery's goal is to have a nearly empty show by the end.

Fun concept.  I'm submitting between 5 and 8 works.  Come see the show!

Lost and Found

I was cleaning my bedroom today and found this gem in my nightstand drawer.  The lovely (and recently engaged!) Marissa Luppi painted this envelope for me freshman year of college.  She went to college in New Hampshire for art education.  I'm not sure what she wrote in the letter, as it seems I only held onto the envelope!

Cute though, isn't it?

I got a new scanner and determined to use it.

See the header above.  Slight variation on a name plate I made in May.
