I have had so much to say to you over the last few weeks… and no time to write it all down. I think it’s something in the air around this time because all of a sudden there is so much going on – from get togethers with friends, to business, to projects, and other demands on our time and energy. And no, this isn’t a good excuse for why I haven’t written to you but it does give me a lot to talk about right now.
From my various framing projects and art show escapades I have saved up a large collection of scraps of plexi-glass scraps. I always figured I would find a use for them and, well, I have…
These new photo pendants have two layers of images mounted with acrylic paint and varnish onto small pieces of plexi-glass. I have been “forced” to test them out in the market (which means wear them on a near daily basis) and the results are in. I love them – and so do most other people who have seen them. And if my daughter doesn’t claim them all for herself then I will have plenty for sale through the holiday season.
My friend at A La Mode is now having a contest for her readers and what you win is this necklace pictured above (my current favorite). The stairs look like they are leading to your heart – it may sound a bit dorky but I think it is really cool. Go to her website – go now – and get entered to win the contest.
In other news… I just agreed to do an art show at the Santa Rosa Golf and Country Club in early December. This is a classic case of agreeing to do something before realizing the scope of what I am getting myself into. I agreed on the phone, and then went and met with them and saw the VERY large space they have dedicated to showing art. Needless to say, I have my work cut out for me.
There are more new products and projects to discuss but those will have to wait because I hear a miter saw calling my name (I build all of my own picture frames). I will share more soon and in the meantime go and get entered in that contest. The link one more time is: http://www.alamodestuffblog.com/2009/11/novembers-picture-perfect-giveaway.html
