Last weekend I carted the Pinwheels down to Lewis School for the Lewis Garden Fair. It was so much fun! I'm excited that several of these have found new homes. Here's what my display looked like:
(I still haven't found the time to paint the other display stand that Mark made, but used this beautiful, colorful cloth that my mother-in-law brought back from Costa Rica to cover up the plain wood.)
The backs of the pinwheels are always a great conversation starter - whoa! They're made from records!
I had a great day hanging out with some of my crafty peeps like
Megan,
Chris, and
Tim...
Chris even let me decorate one of his cute little birdhouses.
The show was organized by Alea of
Bonewerx, who I first met when she attended one of the Etsy classes I co-teach with
LeBrie. Alea acquired one of the pinwheels and here is a beautiful picture of what it looks like in her garden:
Also, I'm very happy to say that the Mandala Pinwheels are in the new Mother's Day catalog that was just put out by
Uncommon Goods! I haven't gotten a copy of it yet but was alerted by my friends on facebook.
The catalog is
online here, and here is a screen shot of the most wonderful page, page 19!
I wasn't even aware that they were going to be in the Mother's Day catalog (I only knew they will be in the Summer catalog, which hasn't come out yet) - but you know, they would make a great Mother's Day gift! Go ahead and order from Uncommon Goods, they have plenty in stock as you can see:
Happy Earth Day!
The good people at Seattle's Green Chair Project had an opportunity to show works at a recycled arts show put on by the RE Store. They chose my Red Goth Clock as one of the pieces to include! The show is hanging at the Blowing Sands Gallery in Ballard, from April 10 - May 5.
If you are in the Seattle area, stop by and check it out!

Inspired by Sister Diane's recent podcasts about FREE, I've decided to offer a free five-page PDF download of some of my original black & white mandala designs.
Please visit my website (or click the button on the right hand side of this blog) to download your free coloring pages.
I am no longer selling either the old Groovy Coloring Book or the Mod Mandalas Coloring Book, and I realized that until I get those going again, no one who doesn't already have one of these books is really able to color my mandalas right now! And that is sad. So please, have some pages for free!
So go ahead and color it and if you like, please share your finished product on the new flickr group I just created for this!
