Sewing Little Blobs

I've been on a tiny sewing spree making little round pillows. I find them cute, adorable, ridiculously funny and completely useless. So I put two on earrings. They look like this.

I also have been making hair clips by layering circles of fabric and finishing them off with a button. Like the thing in my hair.

A Circus You Can Bring Your Mom To

I recently took my mom to see the Cirque Eloize show at the Wang Theater. It was a beautiful show without words or animals. It was amazing to see what the human body can do. There were acrobatics, bike stunts, human size hula hoops, contortionist, balancing on 15 stacked chairs and trampolines. The most shocking feats were when cast members flipped through the air and stopped inches from the floor, with no mats or nets. It is awe inspiring in the way that it reminds you you have a body, that wants to move and dance and be physical. So go! Play!

New Website

Big thanks to Nick Palm for revamping the website. Excited to be sharing new work. Decided to review inspirational things in this blog format. Such as...

The Brimfield Flea Market. Had a fantastic two days in this massive stretch of all things antique, vintage and ancient. I got a giant Chinese basket, a black sand hour glass and some beautiful lapis jewelery. The show was from May 10-15, but don't fret. They are coming back July 12-17 and Sept. 6-11.

Mass Art Spring Sale

The Mass Art Spring Sale is this week, May 2-7. Please stop by Tower Lobby and browse all the wonderful art by students and alumni. Part of the proceeds goes towards scholarships. Keep and eye out for my leaves, Mini Masterpieces and all new splatter paintings.

Somerville Open Studios April 30, May 1

Open Studios is fast approaching. Alex, my studio mate and I built a little wall to hang work and have been painting and cleaning and getting ready to show off all our new work. We are pretty proud of the wall. It's worth checking out.
Our location is 145 Cedar St, spot #42 in the artist map booklet. You can grab a book where you see signs around town with a big green hand on it. Oh, and look for orange balloons. That means it's an artist spot and walk right in. There is also a free trolley service to cart you around, and probably lots of free wine.
Nick Palm, my new web designer, has been working diligently on a new site. It looks great, keep posted for the new look.

I probably won't be there, but my piece will speak for itself. Put in "Dem Dames," crazy legs.

Got into the Mass Art Spring Sale! Going to bust out some new minis, paint a couple of leaves and have a brand NEW product, simple matted splatter paint pieces, some with funny sayings on them. They have a very simple glass frame, great present.
