Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth at the Hot Springs Arts & Craft Fair! A special thanks to all who purchased art!! If you didn't make it, you missed seeing some of my son's new artwork. He is building art lamps out of various antique gears, gauges, etc. It's hard to explain without seeing them, but they are kind of a steampunk or industrial style. He is planning on starting a website here on FASO as soon as he gets caught up on orders. So, watch for them! I will post a notice when he gets his site up and running.




My next show will be at the War Eagle Mill Fair. I will be in booth #11 in the parking lot of the old mill. For those of you who have never been, it is in the northern part of Arkansas not too far from Eureka Springs. You can go to their website for more info. The dates will be October 17th thru the 20th. One of my new originals is pictured here. Hope to see you there!

Masters in Miniature Invitational Show-Trailside Galleries

I will have two watercolor paintings in the Masters in Miniature Invitational Show this July. The show will be held at Trailside Galleries in Jackson, Wyoming. The dates of the show are July 15 - 28 2013. You can visit their website for more information and a listing of all the paintings available at trailsidegalleries.com.

I am adding a new line of handmade jewelry to my website. It will feature a lot of hammered copper and silver, natural stones, and shells.

I will have a variety of styles including some wire wrapping, chainmaille, and forged metals.

I like to work on my jewelry whenever I get a little burnt out on painting! But, like my art, most of my inspiration comes from nature. Leaves, flowers, and natural or rustic textures really appeal to me.

I have quite a few pieces already made, but you know how slow I am on getting them on my site. (Sorry, I am easily distracted!) I will try to list a few each week, so please be patient with me!

Thanks so much,

Cinda
