PHEW. It’s been an intense weekend, and I am still recovering from the activities and the crazy weather swings. I try to get in daily walks to keep my muscles supple and get some perspective via the Lake. I am eager to recap all the September fun, but today I need to take care of […]
Join us September 28 from 6-8 pm at 1100 Florence in Evanston for the Nasty Women Evanston Art Exhibition. More than 100 women and allies have donated art work of 12 x 12 inches or less to be sold for $100 each in order to raise $10,000 for Planned Parenthood. We want to ensure that […]
This weekend I have two exciting events. On Saturday my goddess design makes its debut at Nasty Women Evanston. Then on Sunday I will be part of a literal trunk show in Downtown Evanston. In conjunction with Evanston’s Oktoberfest, Evanston Made is hosting a Maker’s Market on the 5th Floor of the Maple Street Garage. […]
It’s a week of regrouping as my muscles recover from the Ravenswood ArtWalk and I review inventory for the upcoming Makers Market here in Evanston. This week, you can visit my swarm at the Flora Fauna and Fascination Exhibit. Ice House Gallery is located at 609 South Blvd. in Evanston. Hours are Friday-Saturday 12-6pm and […]
For the September Now That’s a Jig! Challenge, we were tasked with using Bob Ebendorf’s art work as inspiration. Brenda Schweder is a longtime fan of his work, but his name was new to me. So I surfed the web looking for his work, and became a bit overwhelmed. How in the world would I […]
Time flies when you’re having fun! Fresh off the Flora, Fauna and Fascination opening, I am now gathering what remains of my swarm, along with new babybees, to prepare for the Ravenswood ArtWalk. This year the Ravenswood ArtWalk takes place from 11 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday, September 14 & 15. I […]
Recently my elaborate copper necklace sold, which was a test piece to see if someone would collect it. So I worked on a collar to add to the wrapped jasper I had brought in before. I really like this look, and I think it elevates the pendants too. I also replenished the musical pendants that […]
You’ve seen my Swarm 2.0 in the making, as well as my new beehive in process. On Saturday, you can see them both in person! The Flora, Fauna & Fascination Opening Reception, is on Saturday, September 7, from 5 to 8 pm. Hosted by Ice House Gallery Evanston at 609 South Boulevard, Evanston, Illinois 60202. […]
My hands are busy making bees and my brain is busy processing research, but I also aim to take daily walks as the weather allows. Here are some snapshots of the recent beauty in my neighborhood. I don’t get beach tokens, but sometimes I am tempted to take a day at the beach. Picnic tables […]
Artists who work with encaustics are naturally bee lovers as well, and I have often toyed with the idea of a beehive. My friend Bridgette Guerzon Mills made a gorgeous hive for an outdoor art installation, which I find very inspiring. I started making bees last year and really enjoy the design I came up with. […]
