Yummy October

Hey Friends!!!!  You all remember Lori McDonough from our Fair in September 2013 she is having a SALE at her home in Carmel, Indiana this coming Friday and Saturday.  I know she has been creating lots and lots of new work.  I am going for sure on Friday morning.  Want to join me???

 I am starting to list some of the works that are still available from my past sale.  This is a 9 x 12 collage in my jenny elkins handmade shop for $40-

 I am starting to re-visit my whimsical side 16 x 20on canvas.  She also available in my handmade store for $52-.

 We just got a Fresh Thyme Market in our area and Ed and I went there Friday night (date night :)  It's apple time!  These honey crisps were HUGE and I devoured mine. Lucky to now live around such nice grocery stores. 

 

 The St. Lukes United Methodist Church that I attend is awesome.  Thursday after BOWLING, yes bowling.  I went to the church to help set up the amazing and enormous Rummage Sale.  The bonus is that I get to pre-shop.  I did find some great things for my booth at the antique mall as well as scoring this awesome hand carved bird for myself.  I guess I am collecting hand carved birds now.  This little guy was .50 cents.  I heard they raised over $10,000- for missions. 

On Friday I got a call from my Mom.  My step dad is suffering from frequent vertigo episodes lately.   This was a bad one that required a trip to the er.  So just as I was  getting ready to paint at the studio I got the call.  They watch my sweet little great nephew on Weds. and Fridays so I got to "play" with Lucas.  He is 2 and he is so FUN.  He leads my parents very good poodle around the yard.  Its adorable. 

 

I love that I have the life that allows for spontaneity.  I can't imagine it any other way.

"ART on Music"

I have been working on and off on this project.  The busiest guy I know Pete Brown asked me to be a part of this Spirit & Place event called Art on Music.  I finally completed it and tomorrow I will put it in a big box and take it to Fed Ex.  But, before I do I wanted to share it with you.  The event takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana in early November 2014.  Scroll to the bottom of this post to see the link of the event.

Spirit & Place opens minds, touches hearts, builds bridges and helps citizens move forward in new ways individually and collectively. It's all in our name: Spirit & Place. Through growth of the human spirit, Central Indiana becomes a better place.

 

 

 When doing this project I listened to the following...Dixie Chicks, Little Big Town, Peter, Paul and Mary and Lady Antebellum.  (Hey! I'm a girl, no judgment :)

 Collage on guitar.  Old papers, letters, paint, charcoal, mussel shell vintage buttons, photo copy of "Dori" vintage stamps and more.

 I love my "Dori" image

 I made the hole smaller to accommodate Dori's eye size.

STUDIO Sale this Friday and Saturday - See my little VIDEO

Confession:  Although I can maneuver around on the computer it is not my favorite place to be.  I have had the hardest time posting this video.  I do hope you will click on the link and view it. 

 

My nephew Heath graduated from Ball State University this spring with a degree in Audio Video Communications and he has been staying with us here in Indianapolis.  He has gotten a couple of jobs so far....He's a great guy and the plus side is he has made me a little video of my upcoming sale so click on this little link and take a peak.
