Folk Art Show

The Folk Art show at Fearrington Village was amazing! 

I want to share with you some pictures of the great work that I saw. I was like a kid in a candy store, walking around with my mouth hanging open. I was so inspired when I left I have been drawing and painting non stop!

Well, I will just let the pictures speak for themselves.

Enjoy!

Have a great week!

I am stunned by the perfection of Stephen Zeh's work.

PITTSBORO NC - FIRST SUNDAY - EASTER

 I did my first craft show of the year today in Pittsboro, NC. On the first sunday of every month from 12 noon to 4 they have a street fair. It's all handmade crafts by local artists.

It was beautiful today with temps up in the 80's.

I also had some friends to sit next to this time. It's amazing how much more fun a show can be when you have friends to chat with.

A big thank you to all my customers for supporting handmade local crafts.

Necklace Photoshoot

Hello There!

Its been almost a year since I've posted anything. Sorry about that. 

After my posting last year I got engaged and then married.

I made a ton of crafts for the wedding but I was so busy I didn't post any pictures at all. I also moved out of my wonderful house back into an apartment. The economy has been hard on me as well as everyone else.  For my wedding I made some great candles in punch cups, some paper boxes with candy inside as well as my own veil.

My veil was my favorite thing out of the entire wedding. I attached the wine colored ribbon with invisible thread. Wow, If you've ever used invisible thread, you know my pain. I felt blind for the first time in my life. I love the way it turned out though. Too bad I only get to wear it once.

Have a great week!

Four Leaf Clovers

Hi there everybody!

Just a quick update.

As most of you know, I am one of those people that find four leaf clovers all the time. I don't have to be looking. I guess I can just recognize a difference in the patterns easier than most.
I find them to be lucky because the artistic side of my brain believes in magical things.
I know, I know, the analytical side of my brain does know that four leaf clovers are just a genetic mutation in the plant. Give me my fantasies people!
Anyway, as you see above, I will be making the ones I find this summer into pendants.
I should have them up on my Etsy shop in about a month or so.

Today I will be at the First Sunday Craft Fair in Pittsboro, NC again.
Would love to see you like always!

Big Strange Mushroom!

I just wanted to share with you a picture of this giant mushroom that is growing out in my yard. It's bigger than a dinner plate and getting bigger every day.
This grew in three days.

I have attached a link below.
They are going to have several bands and a bunch of activities for kids too.
I am going to be there selling my necklaces but I'm really going just to get out of the house and spend a nice day listening to local music and chilling out by the river.

The entry fee is $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for kids. It's just a suggested donation.
