Thank you Buffalo for a great weekend of sales and connecting with so many beautiful souls at Allentown art fest! 💛

My favorite pieces that sold today!
Day one of Allentown Art Festival is almost over with and you guys knocked my socks off!

Today is the day!

Sleepy-eyed, but almost to our booth location to finish setting up!

Working on an orchid flower necklace for Allentown Art Festival this weekend that is just the orchid flower & stone accent. ✨

Heres the updated list of my summer and fall shows for the year!

My jewelry work is fueled partially on coffee & tea, so here’s a great way to support me and my work as an artist by buying me a coffee/tea. ☕️

This size 7.5 Iolite ring is now available at woodlandsignatures.com along with some other goodies! I’m working to upload a few items each week during show season this year so others can have a chance at owning some desired pieces. 💜

A look at the many different shapes of my fabricated mushroom necklaces! 🍄

These cuties all have their own personalities & they are tiny labors of love. I’ll be putting together another small batch for this weekend.

These are always available on the website! Woodlandsignatures.com

Absolutely in love with this years poster for Allentown art fest!

Thank you for a fun weekend Pittsburgh! Two days of vending from noon to 8pm during the first weekend of Pride for our first year at 3 Rivers! 🌈

The world's tallest living tree, belonging to the coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) species, stands proudly in California, towering over its surroundings at an incredible height of 115.92 meters (380.3 feet). This remarkable tree ranks as the world's tallest known living tree, a true marvel of nature's beauty and resilience.

We’re here, we’re busy, it’s a beautiful day!

(Not my pic) But I saw these and fell in love. So beautiful. Crochet flower book marks.

This piece came out so beautiful, which is ironic because I decided to name this piece ‘Angel wing’.

“Angel Wing is a condition that affects mostly waterfowl, caused by a nutritional deficiency in vitamins and minerals combined with a high level of carbohydrates and sugars. While a number of factors are involved, human-fed bread is one of the probable causes.”

In creating this design, I have to force apart the two feather/leaf shapes to place the focal stone between them, and solder them in place that keeps them from laying flat on the surface naturally.

With nice weather here, I urge everyone that sees this post to stop feeding geese and ducks bread. I did it as a child, and also years ago because I didn’t know any better. But the knowledge is there, and we have to do better.

I know you all know it, but seriously thank you to those that support my work and want me to succeed in life as an artist. Seeing all your sweet comments & messages lately has really helped me to stay motivated. 🕊️

Finishing the last few projects before this weekend’s adventures.

Moonstone and White topaz.

Fungi always wins.

I can’t believe it’s only 2 days until Three Rivers Art fest In Pittsburgh! I’m so tickled with emotions because I’ve never attended this show before, AND I get to see one of my friends I haven’t seen in person since my freshman year of college.

And if you’re unable to get out and see my work in person to purchase, I am going to begin putting select pieces on my website after this weekend for those who want to support my work, but may be limited in whatever way and cannot attend my shows!

Since I use an acetylene torch, I’m unable to apply, but this is a great opportunity for artists!

Free Studio Spaces for Artists! Apply by June 15th!

How would you like to have an art studio in a landmark building with a $200 a month stipend?

ChaShaMa.org is partnering with the Tri-County Arts Council to offer temporary studio spaces to three artists!
The studios will be located in the Mezzanine area of the First Federal Building (the “Manny Hanny”), on the corner of West State and North Union St, in Olean, NY. These spaces are temporary, and will be available from July through December, 2024.

Artist Requirements:
● Artist must be a New York State Resident.
● Each artist will receive a $200 a month stipend.
● Artists will be required to open their studios to the public up to 20 hours a week (this can be split between the three artists)
● There will be an exhibition/ performance area in the main lobby of the First National Bank Building where artists can show their work. (There will be several public performances as well as art exhibitions)
● Due to fire risk, artists may not use oil paints, solvents, harsh chemicals, large power tools or heated tools. (unfortunately that means no oil painting, spray paint, encaustics, woodworking or some printmaking)
● The space is locked, and will have security cameras. It is also heated and air conditioned.
● Artists will be responsible for cleaning their studio and will be required to pay a small security deposit.
● The studio space does require you to climb two flights of stairs.

Interested artists need to submit a brief description and several photos of their work, along with a brief biography to TCAC Executive Director Paula Bernstein at [email protected] by June 15th!

The Tri-County Arts Council presents “A Natural Connection” featuring landscapes and wildlife art by Denise Drummond and Joseph Grice. Now through June 15th in the Peg Bothner Gallery at the Tri-County Arts Council, 110 West State Street in Olean, NY.
