Holy crap, it's been 2 1/2 weeks since i last posted???!!! that's some messed up stuff, right there.
however, it's not like i haven't been working. my craft partner in crime, BunniesLoveCheese, and i are in full holiday craft market gear. one each weekend. i should probably take a moment to promote the next two we are doing:
THIS SATURDAY, DEC. 11th
"Standard Craft"
holiday craft market sponsored by art collective PositiveSpace

2nd&Poplar
11am-3pm
NEXT SUNDAY, DEC. 2oth
"Procrastinator's Holiday Bazaar"
sponsored by PositiveSpace
@ Johnny Brenda's
Girard & Frankford
12-4pm
BE THERE. BUY [local!] CRAFTS. DRINK [local!] BEER. EAT [local! FOOD. [but the crafts and beer are more important.]
come out and support laura and me! and if you won't buy our wares, for love of god, at least buy us a beer!
so that is what i have primarily been working on. i WILL have photos of some of these new items, i just didn't get to take pics before packing up for our craft show last weekend. [and then left my huge box of goodies at laura's.]
in addition, i have also been working on finishing Cherry's hummingbird series. And i am happy to announce that the second painting is now complete! the picture i uploaded doesn't do it justice, as it is really about the paint and materials. you kind of have to experience it in person. i also need to take a picture using my tripod in the daylight- i had to do a lot of photoshopping to even get it to where you can see whats going on. there's a lot of glare from the amount of iridescent pigments, reflective beads, and polycrylic i used. but when yo
u view it in person, you can see the blurry outline of the buzzing dragonfly wings- and when the light hits it as the right angle, the wings become a bursting of light. fun.i'm really looking forward to all this holiday craft and making of xmas presents to be over so that 1. i can ENJOY the holidays with family and friends, and 2. so i can really get to work on all of these ideas that have been brewing [mostly while listening to joanna newsom, as cheesy as that may sound..]
Wow Corrie, with all you're doing - regular job, my painting, crafts for gifts and weekend shows plus sometime in between you have to eat, talk to PJ, check out Facebook etc. - it's amazing that you could blog at all.
ReplyDeleteI like the painting. The hesitation you may hear is that I can tell, as you wrote, that I'm not really looking at the real deal so I'm reserving my ebulliency for when I see it in person!!!!
