Chaos!

Getting ready for the upcoming Artist Market means redoing the studio. What a mess huh?
Once I finish playing musical furniture, I will decorate like there's no tomorrow.
Can't wait to give you a peek.

Annual Artist Market!

I can't believe it's almost here and I have so much to do. The studio will be shut down the week before in preparation for the event.
This is such a fun day filled with artists treasures, vintage finds and of course we will all be happily caffeinated thanks to the Pannikin. Mark your calendars now and we'll see you soon. Karin

Today......

With the help of my incredibly funny and helpful little nephew, I was able to get the rest of the student art show up at the Pannikin. He thought the painting should be at kid level so they can see them too. How cute is he?

And speaking of the Pannikin, I'm excited to be part of their first "Not so Black Friday event" ....the day after Thanksgiving of course. Hope to see you there. Karin

Ceramics!

These babies came out of my neighbors kiln a few days ago. I was mixing all the glaze colors and really didn't know how they would look in the end, but I'm LOVING them!
Honestly, I don't know how people make a living doing ceramics? It takes so much time and doesn't always work out. Maybe they're just faster than I? I think I'll keep it as a fun hobby. (......like I need more hobbies right?)
I can't wait to hang the whale over the doorway of my new "Candle Shack" shed. For now he looks good propped up in the house.
Art's loving his tribal tiki planter too.

computer update- It's been a good night...I was able to list several new paintings in the shop! Yeah!

Shop update

I'm trying really hard to add some new prints and paintings to the ole' shop but my computer's been sooooooo slow lately. It literally takes an hour to send an email. This is seriously testing my patience. I've earned... maybe a D-/ and an E for effort.

Zuri...can you hear me? I need your help! Whaaaaa.....

It's been crazy I tell you

I know it's been awhile since I posted, so I thought I'd pop in and give you a little peek into my world these past few days.

It's been a whirlwind of activity over here. I hosted a concrete planter making class on Saturday and Sunday, taught an art class, finished some paintings for the shop, hung most of the students art show at the Pannikin, revamped some vintage furniture, and I'm frantically trying to get ready for my upcoming shows.
All of these deserve a post of their own....and I will elaborate on them in the next week or two when I get my thoughts sorted and better pictures. Until then, this will have to do.

If you'd like to see some corners of my house, go check out "Fern and Feather." Alexis is an amazing photographer/ designer and has one of the best blogs in town.
Whenever I go by her house, I end up back home redoing my own.

Dia de los muertos

Today for Day of the Dead the Pannikin celebrated by decorating sugar skulls with frosting and colored foils. Here's my finished one. Isn't it rad........and kind of creepy?
