One of a Kind Show, Toronto..... for a one of a kind girl.

I just finished my Application.  Drew the booth design and sealed the envelop . also had to make a mock setup with half my displays in my small studio. Its was madness in here for a bit .
 Its my dream to be part of this event . i have been attending in so many  capacities for the past few years; it would me amazing  to participate as an artist.  Hopefully as a green artist.

wish me luck friends

paintings 2009

Since i have moved to Toronto  the confinds of my small shared studio space has made it impossible to paint. This year things have changed.
I am working on 4 new pieces this year .

Here is a taste of my past painting.

vintage buttons necklaces Winter 2011

In the winter , i love nothing more then to sit in my studio and sort new buttons. Here is the end product of hours of fun. 
This batch of Button Collars were finished on my last visit in Ottawa.
I sat by the window.
The sun warmed my back  as I wire -worked the clasps.
Great Winterlude day listening to live opera from the Met.
