I had the pleasure of participating in the ‘Freedom Art Fest’, in Aptos, this past weekend. I asked my friend and local jewelery artist Phyllis to come and participate with me in this adventure. I did not sell much, however did have the chance to meet new people and network.
I am doing so many things and now I have so many ideas, that I wish I could clone myself. I always have had too many ideas to create, however there is only one me. The photos, I am uploading now are the newest items.
I did start making wreaths like this last year, and sold one of them at the show. I understand that times are hard, however with the purses and pillows, there is a lot of time and work involved. Since I am working with acquired supplies that were in storage for years, I am now depleting those and will need to purchase for the future. Currently being unemployed, this could be if I sold anything, my only source of income.Fortunately, working beside Phyllis, I was delighted to find many items, that I can incorporate into future projects for a very low fee…Thanks PHYLLIS….I want more and will be knocking on your door in the next week or two….
I hope that no one is offended by the Cannabis Leaf Art. It is not representative of a stoner culture or mentality. The leaves are beautiful and I am going to be using this same principle to make some autumn type of hangings. About 30+ years ago, I made a beautiful fabric autumn leaf mobile, when I lived in Morro Bay, so that is partially my inspiration….
Contact me through my blog if you are interested in anything in particular. Thanks for stopping by. I am also on Word Press, with my cloth dolls and patterns, under my Oregon Past Business Name:
Fir Grove Designs
Cali Wild Violet Creations
In addition to what is posted here, I do have a book that I designed and have not put into publication or full press, due to funds. It is childrens projects using the alphabet from A – Z, projects for each letter, using inexpensive items, colored paper, straws, paper plates, etc.
I also am considering putting my paper dolls into a book for sale. My patterns for dolls are available as well.
