Spring Fling Crafted Booty is next-Easter Weekend

2012-03-14T18:29:00Z

I will have all new jewellery made for this event, with a floral, woodland, and 17th century France feel to them. I will have a Marie-antoinette sculpture complete with 10 pug dogs. I have two pug dog tea light holders, cakes and tarts, and much much more . I am so excited.

We will be arranging the gallery at Feedlot Studios to appear a little more 17th century France, inspired by Sofia Coppola's film "Marie Antoinette".

Despite today's snow, Spring is coming! Can't wait.

The summer so far...

2011-07-20T00:35:18Z

Not really summery, it is very nice and green around here, but the coldness and rain is getting a little too much!! Still did the Gabriola Farmer's Market in the pouring rain though. Nothing will stop us artisans. Hope the weather turns nice though before fall comes!

Pier Gallery is turning into a bustling little place, not just the boaters come by, people in cars too!

Getting ready for a joint show with Mariko McCrae "Untold Tales from Land and Sea" August 18 Artworks. Ceramic sculptural vignettes of the 18th century Staffordshire inspired from my end, inspired by gulf island life. Drawing and painting too. No jewellery!

Juju show coming up speaking of jewellery...July 28 opening at Artworks 7-9.

Pier Gallery is up and running

We are open now for the season, Wednesday to Sunday, 11-5. It is a work in progress that looks really good already. 7 artists, and guest artists on the list to put some pieces in.

I am super excited tohave my new ceramic creations in there, vignettes of current day scenes in the context of late 18th century porcelain vignettes from Staffordshire. So far so good.

Summer is Seemingly Here

I have decided to do the summer markets here on Gabriola this year. Now to fill up a table with things. I am think ing more of a multi-media show of things. Silver, ceramic, jewellery, cards. Maybe some printed apparel. It will be a fun summer full of sales I hope!

Now to work!

I will be making my debut with embroidery... hearts, hearts, more hearts, my dog, a unicorn; these are some of the themes. Oh, and flowers. Sweetness. Making some different silvery things too, inexpensive things....but look out for threaded napkins and little heart framed messages.

First day was great, lots of people, and lots and lots of great artists selling their stuff. It is definitely a craft fair worth checking out! I am located in the hall across from the North Pole....
