I meant to get my travel blog started but I had too much fun in the studio. Halloween is coming, and I picked up some napkins in Germany to expand the collection from last year. So I set about wrapping wire based on the designs. I used the Now That’s A Jig! Big rounds to […]
Returning to the Wilder Mansion is always a joy. It was a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon, and I got the same table as the Holiday Market last year. Soon I was set up. The ample set up time meant I got to peruse the other booths in mid-dress after a delicious lunch. This undressed booth is […]
Being part of the Ravenswood ArtWalk is always fun. This year Architectural Artifacts offered their Artifacts Events space to Ravenswood ArtWalk artists, and we were so fortunate to get to be in this spot. I had never visited the store, but am planning to go back to look at all the things. How amazing are […]
I spent the last few days of August making some dragonflies for Platt-A-Palooza. It was a glorious Saturday when we set up at Platt Hill Nursery. Flowers greeted me as I unloaded the car. The amount of space is always amazing, and I had fun setting up my booth. Foot traffic was great, so I had […]

The Wilder Mansion will be open with 50 vendors including artisans, pampering services, wellness experts, and gourmet food vendors. Tannins Wine will be pouring samples […]

Higher gauge wire is easier to manipulate, but my affinity for 16 gauge steel remains strong. As I fiddled with the multiple squares a […]
Recently I took a mini-roadtrip to Waukesha to visit Brenda Schweder in her studio. I have been intrigued by her Now That’ a Pliers! since she introduced them, but wanted to take them for a spin before committing to another tool investment. She showed me her fabulous studio space that has various sections to run […]
I always have a bit of a hangover after a weekend fair, and this week is no different. The Sidewalk sale was lots of fun, but setting up and tearing down two tents 6 times is a workout. Construction workers had just finished pouring cement when we started setting up but they were eager to […]
I’ve been sparkling up the studio this week to make more beaded pieces. Then I tagged all the newbies for the upcoming 3-day sale. Tomorrow I’ll be setting up in front of See Jane Sparkle for the Evanston Sidewalk Sale. I’ll have a table in front of 1312 Chicago Avenue from 10 am to 4 […]

Curated by Ahavani Mullen, the show had a variety of media represented. The show runs through July 29. The art center is located at 306 […]
