Oh La La! Week Twenty One of My Weekly Creative Challenge

Twenty One Weeks!

I feel "Creative and All Grown Up!"

Week Twenty One has me realizing that I have I still have a lot of work to create before the year is out. I cant wait to take a tally of how many pieces I worked on since I started this challenge earlier this year.

On Thursday of this week I will be participating in my first Open House. One of my coworkers is having an open house at her home and I and 3 other artist will be joining her in this fun venue. This will be a great change from all the set up and craziness on setting up a tent, displays, and selling in an outside setting. It will be a "Wine and Cheese" affair. OOOOOhhh La La! I'm really looking forward to this event. and here are just a couple of the pieces I will be showing. Well I have to get back to work now. So wish me luck and keep creating!

Take Care!

Week Fourteen Has a

Purple Haze!

Well it's Week Fourteen and I have to start getting ready for upcoming shows. I have a show coming up this month at Mad Art Gallery here in St. Louis. It's called the Big A$$ Indie Art and Craft Show. I wanted to introduce some of my newer designs here at this show so I have to "Get the Cracking" on new designs.

At my place of employment there is always something new to learn. I would like to work with more seed beads in some of my designs and I love the look of adding "little loops of seed bead" to some of my bracelets so I thought I would give it a try. My boss calls this technique "loopy fringe". It's fun to do but it is a little time consuming. I will be working on a couple more for this upcoming show. I also have 2 (maybe 4) more shows coming up in September. I really need to buckle down and get to work. So Many Designs! So Little Time!!! Oh well I LOVE IT JUST THE SAME!!! Enjoy the week and Keep Creating!!!!!!!!

Take care
