Se prépare pour “The Affaire At Tiffany’s”

Preparing for The Affaire At Tiffany’s flea market tour!

 

I’m so excited to be leaving in less than 2 weeks for this event in Manhattan Beach, Ca. Before the event weekend starts I will be going to my little place in San Diego at the Urban Barn to replenish my vintage goodies making it Tiffany special for the Affaire group. Urban Barn is one of the fabulous stops on the flea market tour. I will be adding as much Tiffany blue I can fit in my space!

“March Mystery Giveaway!”

National Craft Month

I didn’t know March is a national month for crafting. So this gives me a great excuse to de-stash all the stuff I bought and never used. So I thought I would do a Mystery Box of  craft/scrapbooking goodies from my personal stash and give it to someone who has the time to create, scrapbook and just play with their art supplies. Before I start to clean out my studio I will let you know you won’t be disappointed. This will be my third de-stash in 5 years and It doesn’t seem to end.

The mystery is… you won’t know what’s in it… until you win it.

Follow my blog and Leave a comment and tell me what your favorite craft hobby is by March 31st Midnight.

“Courtly Love”

 

My horoscope today said: “TAURUS avoid the impulse to get to serious too quickly today — you need to slow down, even if it feels just right. Speed is sure to make life harder for everyone involved in the long run!”

It couldn’t be more right. Ive been trying to post for 2 months and 3 days now and find myself playing around on my websites back door. Im rushing around to do this post, laundry, vacuum, new dog training and get ready for a workshop this weekend.

(While I am sitting here writing and checking emails, my 5 year old is in my studio with me on his computer watching Veggie Tales at high volume and he keeps cocking an empty nerf gun in my ear.)

With the past holidays behind us… On to the future ones!

So to honer Valentine’s Day what’s better than to do a giveaway of  a Marie Antoinette – by Michael Mahaffey

“She was Beloved to Beheaded”

Leave a comment about this piece of art on my website not FB and I will randomly choose a lucky person on February 14th!

The measurements are 6×12 central canvas and two 6×6 canvases on each side (not shown). Artist notes: This is my third time working on Marie Antoinette. Such a glamourous and controversial figure. Most people know the story of what became of this legendary queen and thought I could apply a more exotic and eccentric aesthetic to the tale. I created a background with lightly sprayed chrome ghost skulls and to imply the beheading, I sewed shiny red embroidery thread over the delicate slice of her neck. There is over a foot of thread to leave hanging to sway in the breeze or for draping over the edges of the canvas.

“Gagnant cadeau Saint-Valentin!”

Valentine giveaway winner is… ERIN JONES!
