latest artwork donation

This is a new piece that I made for the VSA Indiana silent auction. I hope someone will want to take it home with them. VSA is an art organization that gives people with physical and mental disabilites an opportunity to make art. The event is Sept. 23rd. Judy O'Bannon will be the honorary chair.

Coming Up!!!!!

So excited about this upcoming show. I have been busy making jewelry, sewing market bags, mosaic(ing) frames, collecting wonderful little vintage finds and more. It is all happening at my home in Irvington. If you want more info please comment or email me. jenny

There's more than Corn in Indiana

Thought this was FUNNY. A couple of months ago a friend of mine closed their antique booth and was selling a bunch of things. So, I go to her garage and I carefully go through everything to find the right stuff. I bring it all home and little by little I have listed it on etsy or it has made it's way to booth in Edinburgh. So tonight I say GO LIST STUFF!!!! (worked all day, dog tired) so I thought I will list that corn....hmmmm.....(I live in Indiana where large amounts of corn are grown) I think to myself what exactly is this....I can't pull it apart, is it some sort of odd early plastic advertising something.....so I get out my magnifying glass and read NYLABONE.

Mystery Solved.

What's OLD is NEW again

I have been BUSY making things out of items I already have. I am trying to think of more utilitarian uses for things instead of 2-d art. These are my latest creations. Button Pendants. The retail for $38- with the silver toned choker necklace. If you are interested please let me know and I reserve one for you.

"Donation" for Partners Inside

So I decorated a birdhouse for a fundraiser for People & Places Up Close. Homelessness. The event is this Saturday May 21st from 6 to 9 pm at the City Market $35- a ticket is anyone wants to go and support the cause.
I haven't been working on much to sell lately and the things I have made haven't made it to any venues. So I am sharing this with you. I love how dark the bird hole ((((is that what you would call it, bird hole?????))) is. I think she looks like a pirate smoking a cigarette. It is wierd and funky which frankly I love. Hopefully someone will bid on it and the monies will go to the great cause. The folks involved in Partners Inside have been so kind.
