Hello all!
Here it is Monday and I didn't forget! Pictured here is a pocket from my upcoming set of dream pillows entitled "Winter Moon." They are cut, fused, and stitched, and the stars are seed beads, and sequins. The pocket will be stitched to a stuffed pillow and filled with an herbal sachet. There will be 6 in the set, and will sell for around $30 on Etsy. These have been really fun to make. Given this crappy economy we are in, I decided to try making practical art, and on a smaller scale. I would so love to make some money from my art this year. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that "Fractured Vases" was in the Plymouth Guild art show; well the opening was very fun and they gave my quilt a great spot. It was also very well received! My work is progressing slowly, though. This winter schedule we are in at work gives me practically no morning time; i feel like I am always scrambling to catch up! Plus my cat, Bowie, has been very sick, and of course it's up to me to get him to his appointments! And administer shots, and keep track of his meds...like I don't have enough to do. Got a call from that little gallery some of my stuff is in--Wee Gallery I think it is called. They want to know if I want to trade stuff and put different things in. I may just bag it. If I can't sell a framed mini there I don't see how I'll sell a quilt. Oh well. I guess I feel a little down; I hate this time of year. Till next time, folks--maybe I'll keep with the moon theme. I like it! Grimlets???
