You are cordially invited to the…
If you happen to be in town and are looking for something to do this coming weekend, June 9th and 10th, pop on by the Summer Art Market and say hello. This is where you will find me and my ceramic work this weekend. I’m sharing a booth with 2 other talented ceramic artists, Mary Cay, an instructor at the ASLD, and Kathleen Laurie, a member of the Colorado Potter’s Guild. Our booth number is 114 – look for the banner that reads “Slightly Off Center”.
If you happen to stop by, expect your photograph to be taken with me, so that I can post about it here on my blog!
I’ve been busy, busy, busy getting ready for the show – both making lots of work, listing items for Etsy and all the administrative work that goes along with the job of being an artist. Luckily, I remembered that I needed new business cards and I was able to design them and send the file to Overnight Prints, just in the knick of time. They were delivered yesterday. Nothing like some good last minute cramming. By the way, Overnight Prints is not overnight; but then again, I didn’t pay for overnight shipping either. They were fast; I received my order in about 6 days. They also do free glossy coating if that’s something you desire.
I’ve been hard at work making some new jewelry designs out of clay. After SAM, I’m going to experiment with adding Precious Metal Clay to my ceramic pendants. It requires more concentration which frankly I just don’t have right now. Plus, I have to do some research to see how I fire PMC with ceramic pieces. I just love this sand dollar pendant. I have 2 more in the kiln right now and I already know that I am going to keep one for myself.
About 11 people voted in my poll if you include my first one and then my re-formatted one. An overwhelming majority of people think that I should offer the pendants separately with chains on the side in my shop. I’m thinking that I might be able to get around the no jewelry sales at SAM if I sell just the pendants, so, I am going to bring them with me, albeit with no chains or cords. They will simply be ceramic beads. Oh, and I have a lot right now! Thank you to everyone who emailed me your 2¢ on the topic and for your votes.
You will most likely not hear from me again until Monday morning,

What color are you looking for Diana?? My daughter thinks they need to be orange.
Me too Jafabrit – Paula and Mary T. have indicated that they’ll stop by so I’m looking forward to meeting them in person.
Thanks Melody. I wanted my new business cards to reflect the sgraffito work that I’ve been doing lately.
Thanks Shawn! After I had them printed, I realized that I left my email address off of them. But, I suppose it’s available on both my website and blog.
I’d like to meet you too Angela! Oh, I’m working hard, and have the bags under my eyes to proove it, but come tomorrow, I can actually sit back and enjoy the weekend.

I agree with your daughter; orange starfish would be way cool! Or maybe like a salmon pink colour…
