THE GREATEST EVENT OF THE YEAR

is at stir on Thursday, November 1, from 5-10pm.


That's right. March yourself down to 216 Alaskan Way S in Seattle. There are plenty of buses, metered parking, and parking is free after 6.

What is this great event, you say?



10, count em, 10, of your fabulous Seattle area artists, all members of the great EtsyRain, will be hosting a fair.


This is a great way to see a lot of your local talent in one place, and also start some early holiday shopping... or pick up something for yourself. ;-) There's a wide range of wares, from jewelry to photography, to shower art to fiber art.

My First!

Hi Everyone -

This is my first blog ever :-)

A little about myself: I am an artist, playing around with several media. Most of my current work is photography and silk painting.

I have other presences on the web, if you want to learn more about me!

I'm going to use this blog to share about all sorts of things I'm excited about, particularly fellow artists.

For tonight though, I'll share with you the love of my life, my dog Pixie. This is her. Isn't she great, keeping my bed warm for me?

I'll leave this first post here, but stay tuned because I'll be back for more :-)
