ArtPrizing

Well, I finally loaded my photos from my ArtPrize travels. I did not see near enough. Too much stuff going on at the same time as ArtPrize! I hope they extend the duration next year.

Here are some images with my Whimsical Oddities touch. See more photos of artwork in my flickr album.

Artist Reception

Douglas J Aveda hosted a reception for the artists showing pieces during ArtPrize. The girls were dressed in black and wore recycled hair accessories created by one of the artists. They looked beautiful! One of the girls loaded up a cart of complimentary snacks... she got about two feet from the door and was attacked by the crowds groping for free food. C said it looked like she was attacked by a school of piranhas every time she entered the crowd. Her hair became all askew, her outfit stained. And the girls with trays (free cocktails) was quite a sight as well. They were all troopers and lived through the event! It was entertaining to observe.

Thanks to all that came to see "Pure"! They are up until at least the 9th, so check them out if you haven't already.

I have a new project brewing.... will share more soon!

"Pure" Birthday

We have three cats. C created a card for me "inspired" by the "Pure" Whimsical Oddities artwork. I couldn't stop laughing....

Happy Birthday to ME!!

It's my BIRTHDAY today! Look what I got in the mail... my new itty bitty business cards for Whimsical Oddities. I love them. Happy Birthday to me!

Sorry about the lack of ArtPrize posts. They are coming -- really, they are! They are just living on my memory card... in my camera...

Process.

Loaded the art process for "Pure" to my flickr account. Check there for more images. Unfortunately, I only had my cell phone camera in the art cave, so not the most fabulous images! More photos here:

DONE!!

The girls will be hung tomorrow at the Douglas J Aveda Institute!

My proposal was to create a custom Whimsical Oddity for my venue with subject matter to tie in with the space. This Whimsical Oddity series is called "Pure" reflecting the pure ingredients used in Aveda products. There are three wood panels with three vintage doll photographs covered in natural beeswax.

Each doll panel has a name with the definition "pure" in it. Agnes, Chastity, and Blanche.

If you're in the area, check them out during ArtPrize! 

I will post the art process for these pieces soon--- so come on back!
