art show display

i've been participating in several art shows this fall,

and with each one it seems i'm tweaking my display

trying to find the perfect items to display my art

( wow i need to do something with my hair..)

i'm pretty pleased with this setup...

what about you?

do you continually tweak your display?

have you found the what works for you?

i would love to see your display

please share with me in the comments.

first i primed the wood circle with gesso, so it would be bright 

second i printed my logo

i've had the red block for awhile not sure what i could use it for...perfect for the base
i also had this bad print laying around (if you look closely you can see the lines)
i never throw bad prints out i like to try to use them in different projects
so instead of painting the block i decided to cover it with pieces of the print

here is all the parts covered and dry
now to assemble

My Big Art News

super excited!!!

 this past week or so i've been getting my art ready to put in a couple of store!!

as intimidating as it was, i knew i had to put my art and my self out there…

fingers crossed and hoping for the best i did it

i'm happy to announce my art is available at Simply Vague in the Polaris Mall (right beside Saks) in columbus, ohio

i guess i was excited sorry about the blurry photo

i also have my art at their Tuttle Mall location in columbus ohio

everything they sell is made by ohio artist

so if you are in the columbus area stop in these two stores, they have some amazing items

by some amazing artist

i encourage you to take the leap and do what ever may be intimating you

it feels good when you do it..

so many ideas are in my head...only if there were more hours in the day

here's what i've been up to

resin art blocks available here

i love these!!

the resin really bright out the colors

just so cute.

i plan on trying a 6"x7" block the first of the week

studio time just jump in

i've had a lot of studio time this week...it feels so good

i finally try making a stamp

i bought the supplies months ago

so excited to get started

i just kept looking at them

so new & untouched

so new i didn't want to make a mistake

i just want to hold them, look at them

does this ever happen to you?

how many times has the fear of messes something up held me back ...

to many time to count.......

i had so much fun making this stamp

i don't know why it took me so long to jump in...

*******

i can't wait to make another one

i was so inspired by this

i was able to get a couple of paintings done

i'm obsessed with birds right now...

my dad likes all wildlife

he feeds the the deer, raccoon & of course the birds..

i love going to his house & watching all the different bird feed

i'm having so much painting them

*******

so just go for it...jump in with both feet or should i say hands..

see what you can accomplish

you will be amazed how good it feels to let go

everything is possible when you go for it
