graffiti brasil & the sniffles.

I have a straight up nasty snotty cold. Since there is no time to be sick, I just have to keep plowing through my "to do" lists....

On a fun note I did get my copy of graffiti brasil which I special ordered from Broad Vocabulary.

I also came across this website everyone should check out called Paper Heart . Her work is amazing!

Rainy Sunday night

I have a very regimented schedule for finishing my wholesale holiday orders. For the first time I set an order deadline date. This makes for long lists of items but allows me to know how much time I will need to set aside for projects. Tonight I will be doing the finishing touches on 15 toothfairy pillows for a children's store called Romp in Brooklyn.

Then Sodafine's order will be next, then Plume, mini mini market, and the list goes on and on....

Other exciting news is that I did a walk-through of the potential space that Art vs. Craft will be held at next June. It is very differnt than Turner Ballroom, cleaner, well lit and I think I can fit in lots more vendors. But that is still to be determined and I'm not going to disclose the location until it is confirmed. BUT if it happens it can only mean bigger & better things for the Round #4 of the event!

In other crafty news we did the long awaited silk screen on felt expierment the other night. The peace sign screen was orginally for flags for vendors at the Renegade Craft Fair who wanted to be in solidarity for the anti-war movement, but I got too busy to finish 150 of them. Anyhow, silk screening on felt works like a charm, but my peace sign hand design ended up looking like those team foam cutouts for football games. It did look good on paper though, and would be perfect for wheat pasting....

Nathan is going to set up an entire silk screen work space in his studio so we will have a place to make a big ol' mess. I of course choose to use the kitchen table since my studio is over-run with owl parts....

Icky and rainy out, the perfect night to sew and watch a movie!

The day after...

The opening for the show went well, I got to met the kids from the bookmobile who came by last minute. I didn't get a chance to take their tour but it was nice of them to stop in! I met Peter of Fox Machine and now I know about their lovely little billfolds....

Did some studio cleaning for the HGTV shoot which is supposedly happening in the next few weeks.... Before:
After......

5+ hours of cleaning shuffling sorting and tossing. On the wall are my felt paintings now home from Here Gallery in Bristol, UK.

Now it's time to work on the programs for Art vs. Craft....

Getting ready for Gallery Night!

Today at the shop I get to do the window display for our first Gallery Night opening. We have 4 lovely pieces from Jenny Hart waiting to be hung on the wall....

Gotta go flyer before I open the store.

Art vs. Craft poster design!

The Little friends of Printmaking has designed this smashing poster for the upcoming show! They will come in the mail next week.....
