Fly fly away

My new fly fly away earrings are now available at Weathered Goods at 1242 Main Street in Green Bay. I will also have some at Persimmons and maybe on my etsy. Love them...let me know! Oh and at only $15 a pair they will fly fly away!

Seam Binding.

So I recently found a supplier for a brand of seam binding I have been searching for for quite some time now. When I got my huge rolls of this fabulous ribbon I was in LOVE! The colors were so dreamy and the possibilities of how to use them are endless. They add a perfect finishing touch to my soldered pendants and tied on the links of bracelets. I have only just begun playing with this fun new to me product and cannot wait to see what else I can create with it!

Snowy days.

Since the snowflakes are flying here today I am going to be hanging out at home doing the dreaded task that I hate more than anything in the world....getting my taxes together. You would think that after 10 years of doing this I would have a system or even an ounce of organization but nope. Fact is I need a book keeper. I think I have denied long enough that I can do it all myself and after reading interview after interview of artists saying that is the most important thing you can do I think it is time to take the leap. So here I go to sort through boxes of receipts bills and bank statements....wish me luck!

I used to be....

A silver platter that held cookies and other yummy treats. I just loved the filigree in this platter and so I thought I wonder if I cut it pounded it and stamped it how it would look. Well I like it even more as a pendant as I did as a platter. I was attempting clever when I stamped Becoming who I really am. Love this piece and hope to see it and the technique in a magazine someday????

Love is in the air.

So I am putting together a little show of love for Valentines. There will be little works of art starting at just $3 for my little hand drawn and hand painted valentines. I have seen the originals Annette Wimmer has made for the show and they are amazing and amazingly inexpensive. So mark your calendars and make a stop at Persimmons for the opening Friday February 12th with your sweetie. We will have a meet the artist and goodies reception from 6-9.
I am taking orders now for personalized valentines so email me at gkgeiser@yahoo.com, go to my etsy shop or stop in when you see the open sign on!

A cool contest for cool moms

So I found this great contest on the Storque on Etsy recently. While I highly doubt my little design will be picked I thought why not make a little foodie doodle just for this great little contest put on by the cool mom's at the Cool Mom Picks blog. If you are into drawing hurry up and enter. Deadline for this fun little contest is January 22nd!

A new year a new calendar....

So I made my annual trip to the Dollar Tree this morning...no it wasn't the only time I go all year just talking about the trip to get my calendar/planner. Lord knows I will spend much time and many dollars over the course of the year there. But back to the calendar. They are super cheap...$1 and they are just as good as the day whatevers you get at the office stores for 20 times as much. After all you just need space to mark it up anyhow. Well this year I was super excited because they had them with plastic sleeves. The instant I saw it I thought oh the possibilities. It would also be a great way to work on one of my goals for the year to create something just for me. So I did a little pasting, and drawing and painting and have my 2010 calendar with a little bit of flair. It will make me happy every time I have to schedule a meeting (snore). I drew one of my girls who is supposed to look like me but she is much cuter than I and surrounded her with goals for the year to remind me of what I should be doing. So if you haven't gotten around to getting your planner yet run to the dollar store now!

Oh my calendar is nested in a lovely display of wallets from my pal at Gracie Designs. Check her stuff out. It is sweet.
