Going To Try This Again...
Last time I tried to post, I encountered some formatting issues and nothing would post properly.  LOL  Hopefully today is the day!

Latest Projects...
I participated in the 2014 Psychic Fair at the Landmark Inn, Fireside Room and we actually got quite a bit of foot traffic which made it a successful outing for ART by: Cat Free ;)

I am also working on a small line of Necklaces (wood backed with upcycled leather) that will be sold at Changes Consignment Boutique here in Thunder Bay.  More pictures coming soon.

Upcoming Events...
I will have a table at the Paws for Love Dog Rescue Fundraiser on Sunday, April 12 from 1pm-4pm at the Brown Street Station.  There will be all kinds of artisans and booths with people promoting their local businesses...come on out and support your local economy! :)

More soon! :)

New Year, New Projects...
Just a little note and I promise I will post pictures as soon as I have them.  I am feverishly working on this year's new projects, including: Jewelry (both resin pieces and hand-painted leather back necklaces), slightly more detailed Tree Magnets and some larger projects for around the house- Murals for the dining room, a new Yarden sign and more!

More Soon!  I promise!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays...
...And prosperous luck in 2014 and beyond.  I realize I have been delinquent in keeping my site up to date but the token winter head cold and some nasty whiplash from a car accident will sorta do that to a gal, ya know?  Anyway, I am fine and have been divorcing myself from painting and instead, drawing.  I will leave some recent (but not December 2013 recent) drawings for you to view and do my best to have fresh material up soon!

More Soon!

Upcoming Events...
December Dreams at the Coliseum near the Farmers Market in Thunder Bay, ON, this Saturday, December 7th 9am-5pm and Sunday, December 11am-4pm.  I am selling everything I have managed to create in the past year and a few pieces from yesteryears in hopes that I will not just break even, but also manage to pay for art supplies and my marketing materials, as well.  LOL 

Starving artist, indeed...

 

Anything left will be up for private sale!

 

See y'all at the Coliseum!

An Artful Coffee Shop Experience...
So a good pal of mine, who is a mandolin player, received a Tree Sticker from me a year ago and as it's on her mandolin case...well, it has taken quite a beating.  So I refurbished it for her and here is the progression!

 

 

 

 

 

The lighting was terrible and the sticker stock is shiny but I think you can get a feel for the before and after.

 

More Soon!

Vanderwees...
...Wasn't all it's cracked up to be.  After fretting over it for 2 years, finally trying it out I basically broke even.

I will, however, debrief on the show anyway and let y'all know that I will not be attending that show again...ever.

Day One

 

 

Day Two 

 

All in all, it was productive and at least I broke even; some tables didn't.  Productivity yield; I did a small amount of writing, I worked on my business plan (unrelated project) and worked on a bunch of drawings.  Would I do the show again?  No.  Did I have fun with my table neighbours?  Yes.  C'est la vie.

 

What's Next?...

December Dreams at the Coliseum, Saturday, December 7 from 9am-5pm and Sunday, December 8 from 11am-4pm.  Hope to see y'all there!

 

More Soon!
