It's been a busy few days, I haven't stopped to take pictures or post. First, my stuff arrived in Georgia, four sales the first day in the shop, Woo Hoo! AND maybe a couple of commissions from the photo memory quilts. 
Locally I received  a commission for one of my little frog paintings. I ordered more canvas's for that one. I'm out of the little 6 X 6 size. Today I wrapped four 6 X 12 canvas's with watercolor paper.
Over the last couple of days I worked on a display rack for the earrings, not sure if I like the necklaces on there, I'll play with it. So I have been doing a lot, just haven't managed to get it posted in a timely manner. Oh, I also put in an application for the "Under The Big Sky Holiday Show" up in Missoula. That's a juried show so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Wish me luck.

Maroon and silver leaf with sterling silver wire. Got these finished today along with a few others. Check the  jewelry page to see the rest. Great colors and my blue's came out pretty good this time in the photographs. I played with the white balance and it seemed to help.

Finally took the time to clean out the studio, my table was getting full. Now I have a dedicated spot for the jewelry and a dedicated spot for painting. So I made some bracelet armatures and worked on this painting. I gesso'd the board a couple of weeks ago, very rough texture, lots of brush strokes showing through. Colors are still showing up washed out but this is watercolor on gesso'd board. 

Latest photo memory quilt is done and in the box ready to ship to Georgia. It turned out really cute. I edited the background a little bit, makes for a better picture. 

Painted and ready to start quilting tomorrow. Yep, it's the ugly stage but it will be great once I get the stitching on it, makes all the difference. Busy day again, lot's more things posted for sale, paintings and jewelry and I even did a little baking, lemon bars. Yummy.

Added several watercolors and one oil painting for sale. They can be found in the gallery. Some on watercolor paper, some on watercolor canvas. Free shipping on all paintings. Got some 6 X 12 canvas's in the other day and will start on them as soon as I get the things ready to send to Georgia. And I still need to put the silk herons together. I'll try to get to that this week. Lot's to do on this rainy weekend. 

Great fishing trip, perfect weather and just enough fish to make it interesting. So a quick update on the show last weekend. No customers! There might have been a grand total of 20 people at the show. I didn't think there would be very many, first time they ever had a craft show there. But 20, sheese. It did give me a chance to try out my setup. The other vendors loved it. I did sell two paintings. The lilacs on watercolor canvas and the frog on watercolor paper wrapped over a canvas. Today I'll start getting the stuff together to send to Georgia and stop by the shop here in town to see what that space looks like and what I need to display there.

I put the page back up but won't be shipping for a few days, going fishing. Pictures and stories from the show when I get back. I'm on the wrong computer. Have a great week.

I've taken the "Jewelry for sale" page down until after the show. I hope to get it back up Sunday but if that doesn't happen it won't be up until later in the week. Heading out fishing for a few days. Hope to see you all at the show Saturday or maybe even at the lake next week. Thanks for all the support!

Woooo Hooooo! I have representation in Georgia for the jewelry and photo memory quilts! Thank you Diana for the phone call and  thank you Bret for passing the web site on. Things are getting fun. I'll pull the "for sale" page tomorrow until after the show, until we get back from fishing. Thank you everyone for all the help and encouragement, I could not have done this without the kick in the pants.
