Creating Atmosphere in 100 Square Feet

Yes, 100 square feet is the average art fair booth size. Within the confines of which you need to showcase your work and display it at its best, be able to store extra work and wrap purchases. You need to stop folks passing by long enough to entice them to walk in. Better yet to walk in all the way!
Jon laid out our booth in a new configuration this weekend and achieved that goal!! The booth looks spacious and easy to shop and the beaded curtain continues to elicit ohhhs and ahhs and requests for commissions. This was my hope in creating this gigantic 'beaded beast'!

The tables pictured here will soon head to my etsy shop. Coming soon will be shelves and more beaded items for our valued collectors to peruse!
Thanks everyone for your support of this relatively new body of work. The words and imagery I use have found their way into so many homes and businesses-there really is something here for everyone!

This Is What 2000 5/8" Painted Wood Beads Look Like......

Over the past few weeks I have been preparing for the upcoming shows we have. There's always something that needs to be done. Always! Many of my TattooDreams items require beads to adorn them. Because of this, I paint beads every chance I get. These in the photo are 5/8" wood blocks. I create some beads by cutting wood and drilling the holes myself. This is far more labor intensive but offers me the ability to create any size or shape I desire. It's the variety of size, shape and mix of patterns that make these baubles so wonderfully tactile.
You'll be seeing more things with beads soon! Stay tuned!

Inspired Creativity Box

¸,•´¸.•¤´¨} ¸.•*¨)
(¸.*´ (¸.*`¤~ This is my Inspired Creativity Box ! This up-cycled cigar box measures 7 1/4" wide and 7 1/4" deep and 5 1/2" high ( 18.77 cm x 18.77 cm x 13.59 cm ). A great box with purple and gold feet with purple trim. The top opens by way of a hinged lid. Inside the lid it's stamped DREAM with another stamp of a woman feeling very creative! On the bottom it's lined with sultry black velvet. I love it enough to keep it myself....but away to a collector it must reside! I hope for the lucky owner---it inspires creativity!

Just posted this box on my etsy site:
