MY ART>>>A Brand NEW Direction>>>>

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yesterday....I participated in
Vintage Market at the Park
in Greer, SC

For several months I have been leaning toward creating more mixed media art canvases....and absolutely loving the creative journey.
The show was quite successful...I had huge interest in my art...sold several pieces..was approached by 2 stores...and had inquiries about "commissioned work"
>>>>I am feeling affirmed in my decision...and my art>>>>
I did set my etsy shop in "vacation mode" for a bit...while I get my new web-site up & going...was able to register  StudioBeeCreations with Go-Daddy...so, that was the first step
.

SOLD!

 SOLD!!!

I am sooooooooooooo excited for what's next with
StudioBeeCreations!
{I will keep you posted!!}

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

Door closed...OPEN window!!!

another rejection...

 

BUT...I am looking towards the Open Window...and pressing on!

 

I have some projects up my sleeve(that's a hint!)...that I am working on to submit for publication...with the ever present encouragement from family & friends!

 

Going Forward...with the example of sweet friend Alexa Lett  (well known author, and fantastic artsy-craftsy merchant)..leading me toward that said "open window"...I will continue my quest (cue music...any music..I love to sing).

Working on some canvases, art blocks and assorted mixed media yumminess!

Have a SUPERB day!!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!...again!!

Oh....and it feels really...REALLY good!

 

I was able to travel to a show back in Tennessee(where we moved from 2 years ago) to participate in The Hayloft Barn Sale in Clarksville....WOW! what a wonderful venue!...met some new "junk friends"....and got to see some good old friends from our 17 years in Tennessee.

 

This pic was taken by the sweet folk of Folk Magazine

...if you don't already have a subscription...go see them NOW!

See my funfunfun "money bag"?...well...I sold out at the show...and will be making similar for my Etsy shop soon!...some short, sweet & flirty....some BIG Mama bags for "shopping til you drop"!!

My head is swimming with ideas!!...whoooowhooooo!

Home again...home again...Jiggity Jig!!

Soooooooooooo...I travelled to Atlanta to particpate in

The Revival of Vintage show at The Goat Farm!

 

It was absolutely awesome...being "back in the saddle again"...on the road doing a show!

***but...by myself...I really missed my hubby!***

I met up with some wonderful vendors...Alexa Lett   who has been so very wonderful, and encouraging to me, since I met her at the show last fall.....and also Kristen & Evie from

Ella Marie Clothing ....who, without them, I would still be packing up!...lol

 

 

 

Now.....I am getting ready for my NEXT adventure...The Hayloft Barn Sale show in Clarksville, Tn

...I am over-the-top excited to be able to see some old friends from when we lived in Tennessee!

**************************

Speaking of  friends....over the weekend, I was able to meet up with a sweet childhood (teenage years) friend whom I graduated high school with!...seeing Sadie after all these years was sooooo awesome!!!....my only regret is that we did not get a snapshot taken of us together!....maybe next time?

Tomorrow...I am back to the "regular" job...but counting down the days for  the next show!

Making applications online is  MUCH easier nowadays....we've come a LONG way baby!

 

.....until next time!

FLOWER POWER

 

What's this?...Well...actually something I have had sitting in one of my MANY "todo"

baskets for a few years....just waiting....and waiting.... for THIS:

 

OH MY GOODNESS!!!...such YUMMYNESS!!!!

...and a blast from the past!...a long, lost art of straw flowers!

From what I have read...these were creations made by women entrepeneurs from back in the 1960's.

I purchased a "kit" from Cathy Callahan several years ago....and because I bingbingbing thru many assorted crafts and mediums, it sat.......until NOW!

Getting back into the show circuit this year....I am already signed up for TWO awesome shows!!!

Revival Vintage Marketplace and Bella Rustica

both of which I am doing with my junk gypsy friend Wanda/The Grapevine Marketplace

AND........

my plan to build UP my etsy shop StudioBeeCreations is actually going to happen!

These sweet flowers...along with my mixed media canvases and paperdoll ARTBLOCKS...and MORE will be loaded into the shop SOON!!! Sooooo, if you cannot make it to the shows...be sure to shop ETSY...for handcrafted...homemade goodness...from the heart.

 

Now........what to do with the "leftovers"????....sigh...I cannot throw anything away!

 

Oh...I have an idea.......

Looking for ME!

Soooooooooooooo...here is just a quickie post....so I can say that I did.....so that I can say what I am UP to!

Years ago....we owned and operated a home-based business we called Mama's Attic....It all started with taking the plunge...and taking my "wares" to a wholesale trade show in Kansas City. We got soooo many orders   that my hubby quit his job so that we could fill them.....and so the story goes that we continued to do trade shows..and local craft shows. We "evolved"......we made "stuff outta junk"...repurposing found objects aka: treasures from the past..."reborn" into  one-of-a-kind collectibles.

Mama's Attic sold to stores all across the USA, Canada, England and Japan ...and we even had a contract with Cracker Barrel stores, as well as being featured in Gooseberry Patch and Paisley Panda catalogs.

Fast forward...today.......due to the economy ( dont think I need to spell that out)...we had to join the outside workforce....and now both hubby and I work for a major home improvement store (check past posts)......That being said...I am soooooooooooooooo wanting to get back to my creative endeavors FULLTIME!

Soooooooo...( yeah...I said quickie post!)...here I am...putting myself out there.....With my family totally encouraging me...I am stepping out to show my wares...again. Please check out my Etsy shop StudioBeeCreations

to see what I have been creating lately!

I would LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE to find a few shops across the USA who might be interested in carrying my unique pieces of art and cards....I promise TOP QUALITY!
Please contact me thru my etsy shop StudioBeeCreations
if you....or if you know someone who...would be interested in carrying my wares...ALL serious wholesale inquiries will be answered.
Or................if you are just looking for that UNUSUAL...one-of-a-kind gift or handcrafted card, please shop til you drop!!!

Thanks for indulging me in my "short" post!
My goal is to beeeeeeeeeeeeeee so bizzzzzzzzzy!...I am on the hunt for magazines to submit to , to get published also!

Thanks for visiting my blog....come back tomorrow....I am in a BLOG HOP of altered items....amongst some MOST AWESOME designers....whoooowhooooo!...wait til you see!
Creative Blessings,
Debbie
