American Craft vintage booth

As I am preparing for the Bead and Button show… I was looking at some previous booths that I have used in various shows. I really like having a 10 by 20 space. .. Here is a vintage American Craft Booth. I am looking forward to getting back there to the Baltimore show once again!! Lots of business, work and opportunities this year. One of those years where its quite on the surface but in time……. all will surface.

Bead and Button show

Bead and Button show are coming up quick. We have been working hard here to bring in all of the new pieces that we are selling at the shop..and I will have a lot of my new work. I feel like a much of my work lately has been for the resin bible that i am writing. But… here are a few pieces.

Mixed media Industrial Chic

I am really excited because all of my hard work from January 2011 to June of 2011 will finally be out at the Michaels stores. Hurrah! I am very pleased because it is a beautiful line and really represents all of my newer work. ..home decor and journals.
I was really happy to be building from my roots again ..back 10 years ago.. in the Art Continuum days , I built and taught many journal classes. I brought some of my first journals to the American Craft Council in Baltimore…

Here is the looks of my work table late June when I turned in my MIxed media samples…..
I can’t wait to see what people will do with these pieces. My design team already got their fair share and will be publishing soon…cant wait!! here it goes again!

This is a new concept that I am working on in the studio… This first prayer box is nice and simple .. But the inside a prayer and mediation is written in marker. From here I get more details in the next piece. That’s today’s work.
