Work in progress

Today, I procrastinate cleaning and decorating my house by beading. That's acceptable, right?

I'm slowly redesigning this place as I migrate my art site over here to my blog. Excuse my dust during this process!

The Unspoken Truth

Tuesday, this show comes down and I never got a chance to see it. It's the first time I've ventured out and entered a show on a subject that is so important to me. I finished the painting just in time to get it to the show, so I can't post pictures until I get the painting back on Tuesday. The show will still be up at the Huff Gallery at Spalding University today and tomorrow, if anyone is in Louisville.

The original dates were July 15-18 but the show garnered so much interest and support that it ended up running until this coming Tuesday, August 10.

New happenings

As always, it's been a while since my last post. I've been busy with the library, beading, being a mom and web work. But I have still been beading, indeed! I also did two small shows, one at the Louisville Watertower sponsored by the LVAA and another sponsored by our lovely Marion County Public Library. The LVAA show garnered no sales while I was there, but a wonderful lady contacted me afterward. She took a business card and perused my art site, purchasing two of my sculptures. Makes me want to sculpt again!

I've also been working on promoting myself. I recently was accepted as a new artist at Swanson Reed Gallery on Bardstown Road in Louisville. It's exciting to me, as it's my first representation in Louisville. I was in the Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft for a while, but it was a very limited selection of my work, only a few pieces. Swanson is carrying a selection of earrings, bracelets and cameo necklaces. I'll also have a trunk show there later this year, which makes me ecstatic beyond belief!

One of the requests that the buyer at Swanson Reed had was cocktail rings in the style of my beaded cabochons. To the left are my first few attempts. I'm pretty happy with them. I'll make a trip to the gallery first and then list some in the etsy shop.

I also listed some of my pieces that I've been making in preparation for Spotlight Lexington during the World Equestrian Games.
