Craftacular Pictures

A big huge Thank you to Jen for the Pictures! I got these yesterday..it was a nice reminder to how much fun we had! The picture above is the mad rush at the end of the day for the remaining raffle prizes. Another huge thank you to all of the Raffle prize donators..Stencil 1, Scor-it, Maya Road, Stewart Superior, Petaluma Art and Earth, Copperfields, Velasco's, Pelican Framing..and all of the wonderful vendors that donated their handmade goods as well..:)



a couple of satisfied custom t shirt customers..they couldn't wait to run to the bathroom and put on their new shirts! Thanks girls!



Something new for this show..some digital atc's as my business card..this one is Janis.



For decorations, I teamed up with my brother Joe..the master stage decorator!. He built 4 7 1/2 foot 'wonky' trees, 4 smaller trees and 6 mushrooms! Jen and I painted and stenciled them..yeah, that was a lot of fun! Time to start decorating my house with props..me thinks. By the by..Gabby was the inspiration for the winter mushroom forest. Just had to have something to go with her performance..:)



Jen caught a glimpse of Gabby's handbag..:)



sigh.

Craftacular Hangover

A big huge thank you to everyone who was at the Holiday Craftacular, this past saturday! The event was Awesome!! The vendors were all so talented in their craft and the crowd was so appreciative. I did pretty well with my Bodega canvas' and the custom Stencil 1 sprayed t shirts. But my favorite of the day..Gabby LaLa and her fantastic onstage energy. Nothing like spraying shirts to "What would Miss Petaluma have said..". A big huge Thank you to everyone!! Be sure to check DemoGraphics for more pictures to come!!

Obamathon and Craftoberfest

So many things..so little time. I think I need to put up a calender, at this rate! :) Ah..it keeps me out of trouble, and that is always a good thing. So friday night from 5-9, we have the Obamathon at the Verdi Club in San Francisco. I'll be there with my sprays and Obama stencil...so bring a pre washed shirt and I'll spray it for you for 5 bucks! I'll also have pre sprayed shirts, posters, spokecards and..of course..Stencil 1 stencils!!

Saturday I'll be with my Petaluma Craft Mafia gals at the Sacramento Craft Mafia's Craftoberfest! Held at the Sacramento News and Review parking lot from 10-4pm..this is going to be loads of crafty fun! can't wait!! If you're in the area, stop by and say hi!! :)

This is the newest Petaluma piece added to my etsy store, based on the historic Lan Mart building downtown. I've been trying to add at least one new piece everyday, so be sure to check often!

I've also partnered up with Ed at Stencil 1 to make some schtuff for the Stencil 1 Etsy shop. The Stencil 1 stencils are copyrighted, so to be able to make things to sell with this imagery is a great honor for me! Thanks again Ed!!


I call it 'Every Robot has a Silver Lining', below is the Robot Tote Bag....loving the Robot stencil!!

Petaluma Stencils

I got a little bit of inspiration..well, let's say I'm using a little bit of the enormous amount of inspiration I got at the New art 08 show. :) I spent the weekend cutting some stencils of various memorable spots in my hometown of Petaluma. I've used two of them so far and loved the results enough to finally put something new up for sale on my etsy store! Here are three little canvasies I've gone through so far..I think I see cards, canvases and canvas bags in the horizon!! :)
