.......ABCDEFGeeeee Won't you come and play with me????
...a color full pile of handmade business cards i made,
all original little artworks to share at CHA...
I'm off to CHA (Craft and Hobby Association trade show) this weekend in Anaheim, CA to demo, work and play. This is the international event where all the manufacturers of any creative product come to celebrate and showcase their wares. Attending the show is like being at an artsy Disneyland!! But then again, Disneyland is only 2 blocks from the Convention Center, so it will surely be the happiest place on earth!all original little artworks to share at CHA...
Have you seen the January/February 2013 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors?? That's my painted and free motion stitched art on the cover! There's also my article in the issue on how to create this painted and stitched art with muslin and batting.
Here is the issue with the original art that just arrived back home to me.
It's a dream come true to be the "cover girl"!
...i was so thrilled to see the issue on the shelf at Wegmans, my local grocery store!
So now, let's get on with the arty party!
Hoping we can create together this year, check out my 2013 teaching schedule...

Congratulations on being a cover girl! You totally deserve it. I live in Colombia...but getting ready to buy in St Pete...so hopefully next time you're there.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your CPS cover! I'm looking forward to taking classes from you in April at Art and Soul Kansas City!
ReplyDeleteScore! I got one of those cards! Wonderful! Congrats on the Cover Spot as well...amazing work! It was awesome to meet you in the van, although too short! I hope to take one of your classes some time! I wish you the best!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun meeting you at CHA and watching you at the Splash of Color booth for a bit. I'm looking into the Kansas City event, but their website isn't working. :( I'll try again later!
ReplyDeleteGreat fun to finally meet you at CHA. It was a great show full of new creative adventures and friends to meet. Congrats on the publications.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like great fun and I ordered a subscription to the magazine. I wish I were going to be in town in August(I live in Illinois) and would love to go to one of your functions.
ReplyDeleteYay! You ARE going to be near me in March (Savage, MD). Hope to see you then!
ReplyDeleteI loved your article in CPS, but when I tried to watercolor on muslin, the paint spread all over and was very pale. How did you get such sharp, vibrant colors?
