Just  a quick note.  Today, I received my invitation to participate in Art Westport 2012.  I'm quite excited.  Of the three juried shows I've applied to so far, this one has the most competition.  And they picked ME!

It's September 7, 8 and 9, 2012.  I'm going to have to get busy making more stuff!

Yay!

Another Confirmed Show!

I have just received notice that I have been invited to display at the Clara Brierly Festival of the Arts in Peculiar, MO,  June 8th, 9th and 10th.  Very excited.  We wanted an inside space, but were unable to get one (I kind of slipped in under the wire - they were kind enough to jury me even though I was a day past the deadline), so we're going to be outside.  Here's to hoping for nice weather.  

I'm also pretty sure that I'm going to do KC Riverfest on the 4th of July - that should be fun.

My calendar is starting to fill up - I'll be at the grand opening of the Parisole Arts Foundation's new building - OK, well, I personally won't be there, I'll be at Liberty Arts Squared that evening, but I'll either send  J to Parisole as my proxy, or I'll just have merchandise there - haven't really decided how we are going to handle it yet.  I just got my booth assignment at Liberty today, looking forward to going and doing that show.  It will be our first outdoor show - it  will be interesting!  I need to get the tent set up so I can hose down the sides :)

This is all very cool, I'm excited to start putting some events on my calendar.

Oh, I find out on May 15th, whether I have been accepted at Art Westport - they are jurying right now, and every time I think about it, my stomach ties up in knots!

Busy summer.  I need to go make earrings now. :)

Phlumphs. Or Pagodas. Earrings, at any rate.

Finishing up some earrings - the earwires are now made and have been tumbled, all I have to do is attach them.  Which I plan to go do shortly. :)

Shows and Pagodas and Phlumphs

I'm so bad about updating this page. I do a lot on my personal facebook, I guess I should create a facebook page for Polygolems and when I post there, remember to come post here, too.

First Friday was last night, it was fun, but HOT!!!  The A/C wasn't working, and there were several hundred people in and out.  What a sauna.

Our display looked nice, though:


We had some good sales, and made some new friends.  It was a lot of fun. Today, I'm back to the grindstone of working and making some new product, because.....  I am double booked on June 1st!

June 1st is the grand opening for the Parisole Arts Foundation brand new building, which is going to be a blast.  There will be free booze, and belly dancers, and fire performers, and the Steampunk group is coming out - there will be costumes and fun and Art galore!   Unfortunately, I'm also booked at Liberty Art Squared June 1st and 2nd.  I'm not sure how I'm going to work it all out, I may see if J is willing to hold down the fort at Parisole while I am at Liberty manning the tent.  I may just make sure to have some pieces for sale at the boutique at Parisole.  Either way, I have to have enough inventory for TWO (TWO!) complete shows.

I'm going to have to be a busy, busy girl this month... In fact - I need to go get to work!!

OH! Wait - let me show you these little earring that I'm making.  I call them Pagodas - Jay calls them Phlumphs.  (OK, he says they are spelled flumphs.  I like the extraneous "ph"!!)

I just think they are the cutest thing - and I'm making them in all sorts of fun color combos!!!

OK, now - I'm off to work.  Really truly this time!
