Art and other sparkly things.

Crackle Paste and Pleather Scraps

Last Friday, I went to Britex with two of my lovelies. I was in search of some inspiration. I ended up raiding the pleather scrap box. Here’s most of what I bought: And here are two works I’ve had in progress since last weekend. In the one on the left, I tried using crackle paste. […]

Getting Back To It

“Don’t call it a comeback. I been here for years.” – Mama Said Knock You Out (LL Cool J) It has been almost a month since the Tiburon Art Festival.  And what do I have to show for it?  Not much, unless you count the November half-marathon I signed up for and the additional days […]

WTF.ORG?

So the “Not So Sparkly” blog entry from Friday, the one where I vowed to write more about everything, including the eponymous not-so-sparkly-stuff, and explained how bummed I was about the Art in Storefronts project … all that … GONE! I didn’t delete the post, but it is gone. Gone, gone, gone! Where did it […]

Thank You Notes

I went to write thank you notes to the people who bought my paintings this weekend, but my tasteful taupe cards suddenly looked WAY too boring.  So I decided to make each note more interesting by doing a little work on the back.

Double-Movie-Date

Yesterday was gorgeous.  It was a sunny and pretty much perfect weather day in San Francisco.  Those kinds of days can seem so rare that I tend to feel guilty if I don’t take advantage of them by spending every possible moment outside.  But yesterday, Marc and I hid from all that gorgeousness and saw […]

Tent-O-Rama!

So, after much anticipation this week, I now have in my possession 500 promotional postcards, one stamp with the Tiburon Art Festival details (for using on the postcards) and one 9 1/2 foot banner (to tie above the entrance to my tent). Check it out! First, postcards: And now, the banner: I also picked-up the […]

My Kind of Needlework

The thing I love about knitting and crochet are the stitches.  All the yarn gets twisted up in such an attractive and uniform way as part of the greater pattern. I wondered what would happen if I made some pieces with yarn and then painted with them.  I had some time this weekend to create […]

SF Pride

What a fantastic morning at the Pride Parade! So many friendly and helpful volunteers, and the parade participants were fabulous. I was there with Billibatt Productions. Well-equipped with media passes, we stood right in the middle of Market Street. We got some great shots. Here are just a few.
