Spring is in, and in preparation of the Lincoln Square Wine Stroll as well as Show of Hands I brought more garden stakes to Sacred Art last week. Co-owner Kaitlyn combines my stakes with plants, and I love how they pop against the greenery. Lincoln Square’s Spring Wine Stroll is Thursday, April 25th, 2019 from […]
As I was making bud vase stakes, I also had another venue in mind. I met mother-daughter team Amy and Heather at a local networking event, and learned that they ave a store front up in Evanston’s West Village. Green Edens Horticultural Services is a professional garden design and landscaping company owned and operated by women. […]
Last Summer I had fun adding to my plant stake collection with some other shapes. As a book lover, making book stakes was a no-brainer. This one is made out of white interfacing that I hand-stamped with a bookish script. It will add some fun to your indoor or outdoor plant. This stake measures 13.5 […]
Last summer I decided to expand on my swarm with plant stakes, and as I went along other shapes emerged. This plant stake evolved out of using Now That’s A Jig! Shapes and then adding crystals to them. To me these have a mondrian-esque color scheme, and I like the vibrance of the blues, greens […]
Fall is trying to make its entrance and it’s been getting spooky in the studio. I reviewed the pieces I have on hand from last year, and was inspired to make more. With my plant stakes having such a positive response I decided to try a batty design as well. I pulled a generic bat […]
Last summer I made a dragonfly stake on a whim and it was well-received. This year I took the production level up a notch and added ladybug stakes to the collection. I distributed them at my various boutique outlets, and they steadily fly off to new homes. A post on Facebook prompted Ayla’s Originals to […]
I have distributed plant stakes at 3 locations this week, which means a lot of stake-making happened over the past month. Staying focused to pick up more wire was indeed a danger zone during my hardware store trip. Something compelled me to make stakes late last year, but then winter happened and ornament production kicked […]
This week I dropped off ornaments at Sacred Art. Lincoln Square is starting to look festive, and the artists at Sacred Art are adding new and amazing creations to the store for the season. I had not been to Lincoln Square in a while, so I enjoyed perusing all the corners of the store and […]
While I am busy in the studio preparing for the Woman’s Club of Evanston Holiday Bazaar, My Swarm and Beehive are still having a fabulous party at Ice House Gallery. With the first snow, it is wonderful to enter this oasis of flora and fauna and remember warmer days. This month, the gallery is hosting […]
Fall has arrived, and the neighborhood is decked out in Halloween finery. I have decided to put all my Halloween pieces on sale at Artem Pop Up Gallery. I have a few more pendants in stock, but they have all my bat stakes and witch book stakes in the store, located at 1627 Sherman Ave, […]
