Green on Green

Two of my favorite wrists (Tangereen's and Chuck's) modeling two green cuffs from my shop. They're green, and they're green, if you know what I mean. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Rainbows for hope

It's a dreary, gray, rainy day out today and I've been suffering from annoying computer crash problems. My spirits were totally lifted when I saw this treasury full of lovely rainbow items, including my Rainbow Mandala Suncatcher. Check it out and may you have a bright, sunshiny day!

Recycled Record Atom!

My daughter Tangereen had to make a model of an atom for her science class.

We cut up a vinyl record to make the rings around the nucleus, which is made from a bit of cardboard tube covered with googly eyes and puffballs.

Just another fun use for old vinyl!

Some pictures from the Art Walk

This is what my display looked like for the SE Area Art Walk this last weekend. I had a great time! I am so grateful to Lynn, owner of Mirador Community Store, for hosting me at her shop. She even set up my whole display for me - I was so excited by how great it all looked. At the end of the weekend, she gave me the cool tree in the above picture which is so perfect for displaying my brightly colored painted cuffs!

It was a great weekend and I'm very happy to say that several of my art pieces have found new homes in SE Portland!

Craft: In Portland!

Come CRAFT this Sunday!

CRAFT Magazine is celebrating the release of its sixth issue by hosting a super-fun afternoon of crafty goodness in Portland. Sister Diane of Craftypod and DIY Alert! and Susan Beal of West Coast Crafty would love for you to join them at Twisted this Sunday, March 9th from 1-4 pm.

Address: 2310 NE Broadway, Portland, OR 97232

They'll have a monster-making demo, a hands-on craft table of Pantyhose Flowers, plus hourly door prizes, snacks, and an all-around excellent time. Get more details here.

100 items sold!

I came home from my weekend at the Art Walk, checked my email, and found a sweet message from my friend Ryan of Littleput Books (as seen on Martha Stewart on Friday!), congratulating me for reaching 100 sales in my Etsy shop!

How in the world Ryan has time to pay attention to milestones in little shops like mine is beyond me - she is simply a rock star and that's that.

My 100th item sold was this "Love" Mandala Suncatcher - I noticed that when I was listing all my suncatchers, it got way more views than the rest - I wonder why that is.
My 100th customer will also be receiving a free copy of the Mod Mandalas Coloring Book as a special thank-you gift.
