Creative life - week 33

It's been busy, busy in my world lately. I have some great adventures coming up, and the start of the fall show season kicks off next Friday at the Crosstown 'Clectic show presented by Tennessee Craft SW at Crosstown arts. It's a Friday preview party, with a Saturday show, so it promises to be lots of fun (click on the links to be taken to the Facebook events for more details). I've become the coordinator of the show somehow and it's been really eye-opening all the work that goes into making these things happen.

I did a class last Saturday for metal clay and dichroic glass- this is one of my class samples. I'll get it finished this week along with some of my small dichro and fine silver pendants on leather in time for the show next week.

Come out and see me, and 12 other artists. We'll have wine on Friday and just a good time with great people and great art on Saturday. :)

Creative Life- Week 31

So.. yeah. I may have missed so studio time in the past few weeks. I was traveling for work again and I actually had to close the shop on two Wednesdays because of it. I got back on track last week and I made some new pieces. :)
I'm also getting ready for some great classes coming up at both the MBG and BMB designs and my calendar is so full starting this weekend through December, I'm not sure what to do with myself!

We went to Frankstown, MS and hunted for sharks teeth last weekend and that was SO MUCH FUN! it was great to wade through the water, hunt for teeth and fossil shells and watch the minnows in the slow moving creek. I have the hunting bug now and am looking forward to opportunities to look for more rocks and fossils in unusual places.

Since I have shows coming up- starting with the Crosstown Clectic show August 26th and 27th, I have been busy making. Here are some of the new pieces I've been adding to my stock.
