Getting my craft on. :)


Hey everybody! So you've probably noticed I havn't been posting much lately. The reason for that is I am between studio spaces at the moment. So with the lack of an outlet for my artistic cravings Ive been attacking my apartment. I love to DIY things, especially small scale construction type projects. So I figured I would share what Ive been up to. This first pic is a storage solution. It was a really easy quick project and I think it looks great if I do say so myself. lol. So here's the before and after. :)

Horribly fugly, right?



And voila! Build a fabric room divider real quick and hide all my extra crap! lol. And since it's a classic black and white damask pattern it works with all my vintage furniture without being stuffy.




So boring and blah before. Add some creative arranging, art, and an antique headboard and its a hundred times better.


This is the living room as well. This my collage of stuff I've assembled on and around my biggest bookcase. I like to think of it as an art nerd montage...

I love doing stuff like this. Building and combining an unusual combination of things to make something layered and eye-catching and interesting. Next post will probably be me building a custom tufted headboard. Yay! :D

Art Comes Alive Show

Hey everyone! I just found out I'm one of the artists receiving an award at the award ceremony on opening night! I'm so excited! This is the piece I'm receiving the award for. It will be displayed on one of my custom pedestals. The actual event is going to be super crowded and R.S.V.P. only, but they are having an open-house early peek preview on June 20th all day until 9pm so I would love to see everybody there!  https://www.facebook.com/artdesignconsultants/page_map

Another Show! :O


Hey there people! I have great news! I got accepted into the Art Comes Alive show hosted by Art Design Consultants here in Cinci. It should be a pretty swanky event so I'm very excited. It's in the "gallery in the sky." Sounds impressive, huh? Lol. Now I just have to figure out if I have to haul all those darn stones up there...

Very Heavy Pedestals...

So can I just say, I am officially tired of winter. I had a full day of pedestal building planned and then it started snowing. Whats up with that Mother Nature? It's March for crying out loud! Anyway, here's some pics from pedestal building yesterday. They're coming along very well I think. 9 down, 2 to go. Oh and in case anyone didn't know, this past Friday was officially 2 weeks until the opening at The Carnegie! Come down and see Parade people. It's going to be awesome! :D
