New Work:Circus/WIld West Stages






Well yesterday's Art On The Hill show was slower than I wish it had been but I still believe that this economy will turn around sometime(hopefully soon!)  Until then I'm going to just keep swimming, and making things that make me happy in hopes it will do the same for somebody else. On that note, here are 3 new pieces on found wood "stages". They can hang on the wall or sit on a flat surface. They're constructed of custom printed fabric, wire, found wood, paperclay, metal and tissue paper. They will also be in my Etsy shop-just click here for more info or to purchase.

A new home for my artwork





Alot of my pieces are now in a  wonderfully cool shop in Roundtop, TX called Lizzie Lou's. I have a pic of the owner Mary Lou below in an earlier post.
Here are the pieces in their new home--she has surrounded them with lots of her other finds-do you like them in this setting?

Roundtop Photo Album-Day one











Well we finally got here, a bit later than we planned but no matter. The hall we're in is really nice as are all the people. It's no lie about Texas hospitality--everyone here is so accommodating and helpful. Here's two beautiful Texas women that I've had the pleasure to meet so far-the first is Emma Lee Turney, the grande dame of the Roundtop Folk Art Fair and Creative Market for the last....oh about 30 odd years.
The second is Mary Lou Marks, a wonderful woman who owns a funky shop named Lizzie Lou's right on the main drag in Roundtop. Aren't they lovely?
Next to Lizzie's is a fun place called Royer's...it's the local hot spot for all the vendors and some of the visitors too.

Yeehaw! Roundup in Roundtop












Before I leave for Texas, I thought I'd post a few images of various pieces I've made for the show along with one photo of my empty studio...it really feels strange to not have ANY artwork in it at all. I will try to post some photos of the show and the town while we're there if I can...if not, this may be the last post for a week or so...Happy Trails!

Roundup #1


Since my next show is in the town of Roundtop, Texas I thought I'd do a few 2D mixed media pieces that harken back to the Wild West Show Roundups that were a part of many circuses and carnivals. This piece is constructed of wire, tent canvas, cut metal, tissue paper, burned wood, and custom printed fabric. It's about 16" tall by 11" wide.
