Art Card Trading

Some of the cards that I traded mine for. I still have a few of mine left if anyone is interested . I just ask that the cards be the international size of 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" so as to fit in the container I have for them.

Art Trading Cards

A few of the art cards that I made in August of this year. I call them "Landscapes" and each  is OOAK and very different from each other. I made 36 but 10 are spoken for and 2 others have been claimed. I decide to put it out in cyberspace to see if anyone would like to trade with me or if Someone would prefer to purchase the cards are $25.00 ea.If interested email me for more information.

And what does these have to do with the Studio ??? The first few where started just as a warm up then become an obsession of skill building. I missed doing them for the last 2 months so I have started a new bunch for November.

Creative Women - Dreams in Hand

The second last day in October and its a snowy wet day. Really a good time to clean up and get caught up after a very busy fall. One of the things I was working on was the Creative Women Exhibit held at the Saint John Art Center in Saint John NB. This is a wonderful venue and Friday night ( Oct 28th there were 4 exhibits .Of course the first I will talk about is Creative Women . This is the name a small group of very creative women have given themselves. It started out as a Sharing ( and eating) and the next thing we know we are booked for an exhibit. A great experience and what an evening it was for the opening , so many people!!!

More Distraction - August

What can I say I really enjoyed the summer.

The cats kept me entertained

I did an art card every day in a new technique for me

An late afternoon at St Martins

with new water shoes which were great for walking in the water and mud

Finished and mounted a needle felted project that I started last year for my Mom

there is a fair amount of stitiching on it

Looked for anything differnt in both front and back yard

An Invitation

 Count down to the Exhibit & Grad - Just finished printing 6 copies of the Thesis. I feel so guilty that I think I'll save all those little maples growing in the flower beds and replant them on the hill.
