What is the equation for Success???

A gallery appearance...Family Style

It is such a wonderful honor to be an artist and have your pieces in a gallery exhibition. It is especially an honor to have your family there with you by your side.

"The equation for your success isn't just you , (you + the support of others) = success".

By Terika

Artist ... Are you Preparing for A Craft Show???...

For the past several weeks I have been posting blogs about my creative journey of my new holiday ornamental collection. Well, my collection is COMPLETE FINALLY, and I actually had the annual holiday Craft Show yesterday, at Eastern Highschool in Voorhees ,NJ. It is so interesting being a crafter and preparing for that big show/s that come around each year. No matter how many years you have done them , or how many times you return to the same venue, you are filled with the same mixed level of feelings, which may include: stress- both good and bad ,  nervousness- of how the show will turn out, fatigue- from many late nights finalizing projects,  excitement - to share your talent to the world .  Well, I am here to tell you I have felt all these feelings and more, yet it was still a fabulous experience.  Feel free to see it first hand by clicking on the image above.. Do you have a craft show experience you'd like to share?? What do you usually do to prepare for craft shows, any interesting successful craft show techniques you like to share with us... We Are listening.. Andrea

DIY Thanksgiving Paper Turkey Pins...

Here is a wonderful craft we did at our last Community Art Workshop....

This project was tons and fun.  Add a great touch to thanksgiving and only involved a few simple supplies...

 Turkey Pins


The kids and adults loved it!!

All you need is:

 An empty cereal box
glue stick
scissors
glitter (optional)
4 round objects to trace, in various sizes, from smallest to largest
Adhesive pins
Black Marker or small wiggly eyes

First trace round objects onto inside part of cardboard cereal box, Then Cut them out. The Second Largest circle cut in half. Then cut slits into each half, which will make the two wings. Cut out a small triangle out of the bottom of the box for the beak. Then glue the circle together from largest to smallest with the two "wings in between the largest and medium circle. Then glue on beak on the smallest front circle and draw on two eyes with black marker.

Feel Free to add glitter and other embellishments... Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! We love to hear your comments...

Here is what I've been working today, Snowmen, Candy canes..".It's beginning to look alot like Christmas"

      For the past few weeks, I have been diligently working on my new line of limited edition ornaments and wall hangings. A few weeks ago I posted my Sunday's Work In Progress.
 
           Well, here it is Sunday again and here is what I have been up to......

I decided to flip this piece to a horizontal orientation. Then used a very hot wood burner and began to carve out the candy cane. Added some wood stain, and a little embellishments and Voila!!


I am hoping to have the whole collection to be done, by the end of next week, so I can begin to share them with folks at my upcoming craft shows.

Snowman ( he is still a Work In Progress)

"Sweet Treats" Here is the complete piece...

It's has been very time consuming , and a little hectic balancing studio production time, business and motherhood, but I am sure if you are a crafter you totally understand how this time of year can get...

What are you crafting up for the holidays??? Are you making handmade gifts this year. if so please share, we love to hear your comments...

Have a great thanksgiving,
Andrea
