Art Gala - Cafe Caturra

I know . . . it's been AGES since my last post. This summer was so busy. I'll fill you in on that later.

TONIGHT . . . Cafe Caturra in mechanicsville is hosting an Art Gala featuring my paintings.

I'm super excited and a bit nervous too.
Would love to see some familiar faces there. Come on by for some dinner and drinks if you are in the area!

Something Old - Antique Lace Teardrop Necklace

This "something old" is actually something new.
Perfect "something old" for a bride on her wedding day or a sweet vintage look to wear with jeans and a tshirt.

This pretty pendant was created from PMC (Precious Metal Clay - recycled .999 fine silver once fired in a kiln). I used antique lace to press into the metal clay. Once fired, the pendant was tumbled for smoothness, oxidized for depth, and polished for shine.

You can find it in my Etsy shop.

Birthday and Murals

February is usually a quiet month for me with time to catch up on inventory, read a few books, and celebrate my birthday. THIS year, however, February was a whirlwind of activity. I've been working on two LARGE (5'x10') murals for my boys' elementary school cafeteria. We (two other artists Moms) are doing a series of murals depicting the food groups and done in the style of different well known artists. My first mural was "Veggies" done in the style of Roy Lichtenstein.

Had a nice birthday this year. I took the day off and spent it at the Virginia Museum. I was lucky enough to see the AMAZING Picasso exhibit that is currently on display through Mid-May. What a PERFECT way to spend the day!!

I couldn't resist getting myself this birthday bouquet of tulips - a lovely reminder that spring is almost here! The boys helped me to make some incredibly yummy VEGAN cupcakes - carrot cake and mint chocolate. The recipes came from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.

Now that February is over and we are halfway through March - how did THAT happen?!?! - I am working on my show list for Spring/Summer. I'll be posting that soon.

Happy St. Patty's Day!
