Gallery News

I was accepted as a jurist artist into the Morning Glory Gallery at the Marcus Center for Performing Arts in Milwaukee, WI! This is my first gallery exhibit for my beaded brooches. Although there were some small changes in the inventory, overall the jurists enjoyed my artwork and are willing to take a chance on my goods, at least they are willing for six months. If you get a chance to visit our fair city drop into the gallery. They are open during performances and on TH, F and S. Please call ahead to check their hours or go online to check out their site. Thanks again to Barb and the other jurors for giving me a chance to exhibit.

A few more gallery pieces

Three more pieces for the gallery..there are a few more but have to take pictures yet. Most of my brooches start with focal buttons or found objects I find on my travels to quilt shows and sewing centers (buttons) I usually do my beading as I wait for children to finish sports activities or while I "watch" TV at night. It takes me out of the studio and lets my mind wander away from the hectic pace of an artist-Audiologist-Mom-wife!

Gallery Items

These are a few of my new pieces for the art gallery gift shop. They are beaded brooches and come on a frame so they can be a "piece of art" when they are not being worn. The frames are museum quality with padded hand dyed wool or crushed velvet cushions..really cool way to set off a piece of jelery, don't you think?

What's new!

No pictures tonight but thought I would share a tell or two!

First, I taught this past week-end at the WI Quilt Museum..A large historical farmstead in Cedarburg WI. Thanks to all the volunteers who made my teaching gig there run so smoothly. Also, thank you to the women who came and shared the day with the teachers. We had a blast! I taught Strips and Curves techniques and beaded brooches..stay tuned for photos of my new brooches.

Second. I am just starting to design this year's Creative SHARP's auction quilt. It will be a pixel quilt of a wood violet, the WI State Flower. I am figuring this Queen size topper will have aproximately 400 fabrics in square sizes ranging from 2 to 8 inches. Stay tuned.

Tomorrow I drop off my beaded brooches at the Morning Glory Art Gallery. Keep your fingers crossed I get in..It is a wonderful gallery attached to our Marcus Center in downtown Milwaukee. If you ever get to town it is a true destination spot.

Will post pictures as soon as I get them taken!
