My Utterance

I'm fatigued of flowers.

It's time to change.
It's time for change.
 
The studio is messy.

I want to make just to make.

I'm tired of pretty things.

Schulman Project

Some exciting things have happened since Artscape! I'm so happy to announce that the Schulman Project in Hampden is carrying my work! 

We attended the opening night yesterday and let me tell you, this space is incredible! Not only is it tastefully curated, it's gorgeously modern in design. Benjamin Schulman is the owner and curator and he has an amazing eye for the unique and intriguing, plus he couldn't be more friendly! If you are in baltimore please check it out. You won't be disappointed!

The address is:

Show recap

North Pole , Superman, and Surprising are the words I've chosen to best describe this weekends show. Here are excessive over dramatized descriptions for you all because I'm feeling chatty:

North Pole : somehow the weather gods decided to put my booth in a bizarre bubble of wind and cold. I am a naturally frigid person to begin with. I chattered my way through this weekend bundled in many coats and blankets. The cute girls in tiny summer dresses gave me odd looks as I nursed my piping hot cup of decaf coffee alllllll day. I glanced longingly at the warm sun bathed booths just down the street. I arrived home with an authentic arctic-looking wind burn on my whole face. Lovely. However, it could have been worse! Like no avalanches :)

Superman: so that new movie is coming out with that handsome guy and I guess everyone is cashing in on the popularity that is this new superman movie. Everyone including Norton Security which had an amazingly huge truck next to my booth. In all honesty it was freaking crazy cool. The truck had a virtual metropolis inside and you went and "saved the people of metropolis" with these smartphones. Then you got a green screen photo op with the man of steel himself. Oh and a yellow cape to boot. (Kirk got one of course) so yes intensely hash taggy cool. At first I thought it might be annoying to have this hulking truck next to me or that I might somehow become brainwashed by the incessant repeating monologue played before each group went in. But it ended up being a great thing! I met a lot of new people because of it plus I got to stare at a spandex clad Henry Cavill cut out all day! Win.

Surprising: well, I was surprised by the first two things but what really surprised me were all the surprising things that surprised me! Ok, actually it was the fact that I met so many new people and I was equally surprised at how many lovely faces I recognized :) also quick silly confession, I'm always surprised when people like my work haha! I'm like,"I like my work, but what? You like it too? What?! That's so awesome! I mean let's all be best friends!" That's usually what goes on in my head when someone admires my work. Overall surprise.

Ok I'm done talking now! Thank you all so much for supporting me and for all of you who stopped by my chilly little booth this weekend! And I'll leave you all with some exciting news:

I'll be showing my work at Artscapce this year!

Show this weekend

So I've been bad about posting again :) (I find instagram more convenient haha) it's been a whirlwind month and I can't believe that Towson Town came up so fast! You can find me this weekend in booth #639 on Upper Washington ave. Come out and say hi it's supposed to be great weather! I've also made some adorable Mother's Day gifts :) here is a little sneak peak at some new items that will be available this weekend!

Clean up

So we were pretty lucky with the hurricane this time around. Woke up to lots of debris on the lawn but other than that, nothing too dire. Since it's still pretty nasty out, I've been using this indoor time to ready my studio for the holiday rush. Cleaning off surfaces and organizing clay parts and pieces. It seems like it takes 2 minutes to destroy a clean place that took 2 hour to clean... My ultimate goal is to have such an organized space that it never gets messy. Hahahaha I know, I know, just let me dream :)

I've also been sketching a lot lately and as a result have come up with some pretty holiday ideas! I'm going to try and put some of these into reality this afternoon.

Hope you all stayed dry and safe during this storm!

Insanity Ensures Creativity

Not sure if I mentioned it yet, but I decided to take on a double Saturday show this weekend. Preparing for a single show is quite taxing in and of itself, but two requires some serious battle planning. Plus otherworldly amounts of coffee and extremely small amounts of sleep.

Why did I decide to do this? Well two reasons: 1) I love coffee
2) what was the question?

So this Weekend you can find me at the MD Fall Home and Garden and the Cockeysville Fall Festival which I might mention is an event to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The one great thing about a double show is that it pushes you to get creative. Also the added pressure has in years past, helped me to think outside my design boundaries and produce some interesting work.

First day recap

Wow! So much fun in Fells today! The weather was great, people were super friendly and I even had some wonderful friends drop by! Thanks for a great first day! I was so busy during the show I didn't sit down for more than a half hour total. You know it's been a good day when you're starving and exhausted at the end :)

Some of my favorite moments from today include:

- A man from Seattle telling me to move out West.

- two girls who bought matching friendship bracelets ( so adorable!!)

- meeting another jeweler who had worked at a Michaels craft store (some funny stories shared)

- enjoying conversation with a fully face painted lady from Tokyo.

- being recognized on the street by one of my blog followers, unexpected and kind of awesome! I almost felt famous lol :)

Tomorrow it is supposed to rain, but I guess I don't really care :)
