Opening Day in Everett, Schacktober!

Come an see my “ Tree” picture at Schacktoberfest , a one month exhibition of their wonderful blown glass pumpkins that they make right in the museum. ( Artists decorate the walls for their time to shine) it starts September 8th for opening night.

Oh, Oh… don’t forget that they also have a wonderful Artist Garage sale right in front of the Art Center Sept 10… shhh.. I shouldn't be telling you this .. a wonderful place to pick up original and limited edition pictures that artists are tired of or cluttering up their studios at unheard of prices! as well as art supplies! They have everything from fine art, garden art, quilts, lots of blown glass, even t shirts. A wonderful day of shopping. I won’t be selling anything but I will be in attendance to help friends as well a picking up a bargain or two.

What a Great Art Walk

Woodinville Art Alliance has got a great thing going. They have a wonderful art walk usually the first Friday of the month, 4 times a year. There are many different venues but in 3 separate parts of Woodinville. It you want to meet the Artist, opening day is the only day they are all together, but if you want to see the art it stays up for about 3 MONTHS after !

The Summer exhibitions will be changing at the end of the month. I have loved being at the Woodin Creek Lodge, a wonderful space in the heart of their community. Fab is the events person there and she is great, such a nice person to work with and she knows just everything about the community and makes it feel cohesive. If you live in that section of town check it out.

Below are some of my art that art still available at Woodin Creek Lounge

Art and Holiday Shows

The season has started for those fun and festive Art shows.  You know the ones, they can be held in school gymnasiums', church social halls, residential homes as well as some of the larger venues. Many of you have your own special ones where you gather some friends and make a day of it,traveling to the different shows then going out for lunch to show off what you have bought

.   I have a tradition with my own group of friends where we go to the most creative of the shows and glean ideas to make our gifts.   Now that we are older and have done this many years, we enjoy peoples creativity but if we see something we like we buy it., who has the time any more to be that cleaver.

Next week I will have a booth at one of my favorite venues.  The Tacoma Dome Holiday Food and Gift show.   It starts on Wednesday and goes thru Sunday.  There is an admission charge but the amount of creative people you find there is well worth the money, especially if you don't have the time to go out each weekend to find your gifts.  

If you go be sure TO BRING:  your coupon  ( enclosed in the blog) ,  good walking shoes and YOUR LIST of people you need to shop for.   The great thing about this show is once you have paid the admission you are paid for the rest of the days as well.  

oh.... and stop by my booth   I will be in the Artist-in-Action area  # 0739
