It seems that my farmers market adventures might finally be paying off. I'm starting to take on a bit more fine art projects which have come from meeting the people who shop the market. This is all so very exciting!
I'm due to work some pretty big christmas shows (three day long events that occur in November) in which I hope to do a little advertising for my illustration business, sell some art and prints and meet some new people. I've been working on painting up bits of wood with snowmen to sell at the shows. Here's what I created this weekend:
"Danny" A snowmen on a stick (pole says "Let it Snow") pole measures 22.5x1.75x0.75". Snowman painting measures 5x8x0.75"
"Together" Another snowman on a stick (same measurements as above)Pole says "Merry Christmas"
Saucy Smoker 7x7x0.75"
Andy Snowman 15.5x5x1"

I wish I had some photos to post (my husband has my camera at his work, plus he's my photographer) but I've been working my regular 9-5 on the Royal Alberta Museum project and then going on to work until sometimes midnight on my woodburning projects (which I am going to sell I hope during an August farmers market). They're really turning out great. I bought all of these pin backs to make "orginal mini art pins" (no two alike and all that jazz) but then my sister told me she wouldn't want to lose her's and to make it into a magnet instead (she's already claimed three of them). Just wondering if any of you out there had an original piece of art on a mini pin (one inch circle) or a magnet or as jewlery, which would you prefer?... Other than that I'm burning up a storm with wooden bowls, a beautiful mailbox (the wood it's made from is such beautiful quality), wooden spoons and even a little bit of wooden crosses. I'm having so much fun but I also have several ugly burns on my fingers (ouch!).
"if any of you out there had an original piece of art on a mini pin (one inch circle) or a magnet or as jewlery, which would you prefer?"
I'd go with the magnet, I think they're fun to collect. Jewelry would be interesting, too. :-)
Good luck!
hmmm thanks Chrissy!
