If you local and can brave the Ski to Sea crowds there are amazing deals on beautiful art at:

Good Earth Pottery's Annual 2nds Sale
Sunday, May 24, 2009
10:00am - 6:00pm
Location:
In front of Good Earth Pottery
Street:
1000 Harris Ave
City/Town:
Bellingham, WA

I will not be present for the sale as I am going to enjoy the first Memorial day weekend off in 10 years. But I did drop off 3 boxes work. Pottery hangings that the glaze didn't turn out quite right, older work that just needs a good home(including some mixed media work), cracked pieces that would be fabulous for a mosaic artist, and other strange treasures.
Go early for the best selection . Happy weekend! Enjoy the beautiful weather

So I always admire Cathy Cullis's mosaic mondays on her blog. I have found lots of inspiring amazing artists through her choices. But being a hands-on kind of girl I want to do it myself!! After several trys I think I made it work.. fingers crossed.. and thank you to all the amazing artists that share there work through Flickr.

So I had to make a tough decision this last week... I cancelled a big commitment. I did not go to the University District Street Fair as a Vendor this weekend. Between a 10 day dance with the wretched flu, selling so much work at Artfest (super grateful!), SEAF, and the regular stresses of living on this planet and having relationships with other humans, I was a total wiped out ball of stress last Monday morning. So with lots of guilt, self doubt, and watching money disappear down the toilet, I made the tough decision to take care of myself and cancel my commitment...
I have spent the week eating well and exercising, spending time doing nothing, and working on exciting new projects. I feel much better... except for the lil twinges of guilt. So I apologize if you looked for me at the Udistrict fair this last weekend. I was busy doing the hard work of taking care of myself...

Do you like you artwork a little hot and spicy or a little off the beaten path?

Well, then don't miss the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival going on this weekend May 1-3
http://www.seattleerotic.org/

There is so much amazing artwork and entertainment planned I can't even summerize but check out the website and join me if you dare,

I am proud to have one of the 215 pieces chosen from 2,100 submissions , included in the exhibition.
I also will have a good showing of new smaller pieces in the festival store.
and here is a little sneak peak of some of those new pieces...

Ok I have gone on and on about Artfest.. and I still have one more class to write about.. but tonight I wanted to play with a slide show application.. I am in love with the melting!! This spring I seem to be kind of obsessed with dolls and faces.. So here is a glimpse of my recent melting work. Most of these pieces have already found new homes...
