Farmers Market day 2

art, crafts, fun

Bob and I spent a second Tuesday afternoon at the Seymour Farmer’s Market. It was a bit hotter, but there was a breeze and no rain.

It went better today as we had a brand new canopy that popped up. Well, since it was new, it needed a little more effort to get it up. It sure packed up a whole lot faster at the end of the day than our old one.

One of the main activities we did this day was people watch. That took up a good part of our afternoon.

We plan to go again next Tuesday. I mean, now that we have a decent popup canopy, we can’t stay home. We have to make use of it, so we’ll be there every Tuesday through August. Come on by.

A new adventure

art, crafts, creativity, Odds and ends

I’m not writing much tonight as I am tired.

Bob and I exhibited for the first time at a Farmer’s Market today.

Even though sales were slow–okay, non-existent, we will go again next week to the Seymour Farmer’s Market and every Tuesday through August because we had fun. We saw lots of people and met up with old friends.

My next column will give the complete story, so stay tuned.

Blow is at its end. Now, I’m ready to put my feet up.

On being creative

art, crafts, creativity

Watercolor painting has been my favorite form of painting. I’ve done it for years. Now I discovered alcohol inks and I’m off and running again.

At first, I painted Easter eggs. Now I’m on to painting tiles. The wonderful thing about alcohol inks on tile is if you hate what you made you can wash it away with alcohol and start again.

4 by 4 tile paintings

I’m heading over to Sissy’s in Seymour for coffee this morning and will take these along. Some of my tile paintings are at Mama J’s work-shoppe in Black Creek, too.

Sometimes I start painting one scene and end up with something completely different. Alcohol inks have a mind of their own so no two are exactly alike–I have some 6 by 6 tiles, too.
