TattooDreams Beaded Curtain

Currently Hecker Design Studio is abuzz. The past few days have found us multi-tasking to the sounds of Dave Matthews. The 2010 show schedule is upon us and work is taking shape! We're busy with commissions of beaded curtains, individual strings of beads, pet urns, dimesional wall pieces and box commissions from my etsy.com site.

Above is a close up of some of my TattooDream beads you'll see if you visit my booth this year. Fondling is free and so is lusting. Purchasing a 7 foot long string however, will cost you $200.00. Remember, however, it's NOT made in China, supports American artists, and is one of kind!
Reason enough to spend $200.00.

You still need art!

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!

TattooDreams Beaded Curtain

This took a long time to do!
It's the beaded 'curtain' for my TattooDreams booth.
Encompassing countless thousands of beads, it became a focal point in my booth this past weekend at it's debut show. Each string is about 7 feet long.
All the beads are strung on stainless steel cable and fastened to drapery rings. It's heavy and takes both Jon and I to
move it about, much like carrying a boa constrictor-not that we've ever done that!

It received lots of attention and may have garnered me a commission or two. Time and
follow-throughs will tell. Needless to say, it's a fun addition to my booth and one well worth the countless hours
of painting, stamping, drilling, and stringing to accomplish.
