Comfortably Uncomfortable

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Today, I was having a melancholy morning – lying in bed, staring at the overcast sky, replaying in my mind random events of my life and the world, questioning my existence and the human condition. I thought, “Wow, life is kind of fucked up but I’m really comfortable right this minute. I could just [...]

Freaking out, on a leash…

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Yeah, that’s a Korn reference. Totally random coincidence. And corny. I don’t like Korn or corny. Corn is alright, though…
Okay!
The morning of February 29, 2004, my hair reached below my ass. In the afternoon of that day, when I had 10 inches of it cut, it was like cutting a leash. Almost literally because my [...]

Fun’s over but the show must go on

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Today marks the end of outdoor art fair season for me. I spent the day on the Riverfront in Peoria at the Fancy Schmancy Fall Festival and I couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Today I also learned what it’s like to feel like cabbage, wearing 6 layers of clothes because it was so cold. [...]

Artsy weekend, naked toy

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

So… Art in the Park went great on Saturday. Weather was gorgeous, I won a Juror’s Choice award, and my booth was busy all the time so I barely had a chance to sneak out and look around.
Of course, Josh Dixon had his set up (Hey, you made it this time! You know I’ll never [...]

Art Fair Adventures

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

Because art fairs are unpredictable, it’s good to have a sturdy tent that can withstand sudden gusts of wind, storm, a little rain or a lot of rain.
I do not have one of those tents.
I told myself in the beginning that I will never pack up early. Of course, unless, the weather threatens my art, [...]

This is my setup from last weekend’s Peoria fair. It was a really good show and everyone was very nice. Met some interesting people and parted with quite a few pieces.
On top of everything, I won an award. Award of Excellence.. does that mean an honorable mention? See that yellow ribbon? The yellow ribbon means [...]

New necklaces and earrings & spring sale

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Four new handmade pieces of jewelry are now available in the store. And because I love spring, I wanted to do some kind of sale. Type in RAZOR15 at checkout by May 31st to get 15% off entire order.
I’m not sure which is more fun: making them, photographing them, or packing them and shipping them [...]

Working hard or hardly working?

Friday, March 20th, 2009

I’m alive!
This photo shows some of the drawings I’m currently working on, in different stages of completion. My desk looks insane right now! And so does my house. But I have so many things coming up that I don’t even care right now, and just want to get everything done.
New jewelry is coming. I’ve [...]
