Art-o-Mat

OMG OMG OMG!
I was accepted into the Art-o-Mat Machine program! I am so excited I could pee myself! TMI? This weekend I will start making fan pulls to be distributed nation wide!

Yayayayayayaayayayayayay!

On a side note: Hopefully Tropical Storm Bonnie stays to the south of us, and I hope the oil in the gulf doesn't wreak to much havic with the storm coming through.

Everybody stay safe this weekend!

FIM Closing Down

Here is an article in the St. Pete Times by Lennie Bennet, who is a writer in the arts dept for the paper.

It talks about FIM closing down which is owned by the St. Petersburg College; and the college is going to "focus" more on The Leepa-Rattner Museum. Should be interesting to see how they will focus on us since they haven't really paid much attention to us lately.

New car!

Woo hoo! Finally I got a new car, now I don't have to borrow my husbands truck for my artshows anymore! It is a Ford though and we are a Chevy family. David dosen't care for Fords but its better than the oil guzzling Saturn.

Here are a few images of my work and tent form the Chasco Artshow in New Port Richey, FL.









Art-o-Mat

Good morning! Yesterday I applied to this cool Art-o-Mat machine. What you do is you create several pieces of artwork that can fit in a small box about the size of a cigarette box. It is then distributed across the country and world in thses old fashion cigarette machines that have been converted to sell artists artwork. I have a friend who does it and has been quite successful at it. I will be selling (pending approval) Fan Pulls in my boxes, and I might change it up with other artworks depending on how successful the project is for me. Below is a link to the site for everybody to check it out.

In addition here is a link to my Etsy Store with a sampling of my Fan Pulls:

I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get approved with my artwork; I am so excited about starting a new venture into the artworld!

Expanding into the World of Art!

I have learned a lesson, if you delete one part of Google gmail you delete your blogger account too.

So I am back again with a better site and all sorts of new things to talk about!
I am moving up in the world of Fine Arts (sort of) and will be doing some new Fine Art shows and something called Art-o-Mat which will be another article in itself coming soon.

So Stay Tuned and let the blogging begin... again! :)
