Vineyard Craft Sale Round #3

I am once again a part of the Winnipeg Vineyard Church's Craft sale that is happening on November 26rh. This year they are opening up the second floor which means more vendors, and I'm told will open up the space a little bit so there will be more breathing room. Previous years had an amazing turnout of people who came through to support the cause. It was great for the sellers as well as the Women's coop in Nepal that they are raising money for. I've got some new items going in the sale this year because I have been learning how to silkscreen my images over at Martha Street Studios. Silk screening is a process that is amazingly satisfying. I had no idea I would like it as much as I do. It is quite process-intensive and there are a lot of essential supplies to it, but I am really enjoying the process.
The Vineyard craft sale has some great vendors lined up and there is a reason that I only go in about one or two craft sales a year, and it's because this one is actually worth going to!

The sale is happening November 26th starting at 10 am,and running until 4 pm.
They have a really great site with photos up that you should check out here: http://www.vineyardcraftsale.com/

Inclusion Drawing

School started again for me, which unfortunately continued to push blogging onto the back burner. I've been struggling to come up with consistent themes in what I make, because I finally feel ready to make connected artwork, instead of things here and there that don't have an underlying theme. Here are two pages of my notes from an inservice day I attended on Friday with inclusion specialist Jennifer Katz as the keynote speaker. Being able to draw while someone is speaking helps me to pay attention, even if it makes me look like I'm not listening. I have an illustration coming up that I need to finish titled, "Things I Did With My Summer." This may shed some light on my lack of summer blogging. Will fall here and cold weather approaching I think my internet presence may be pumped up a bit because blogging fits perfecting with whiling away Winnipeg winters. I recently started taking a silk screening class at Martha street studios and I'm very excited about learning how to do this art form, I've already got some ideas swimming around about what to do with my first few screens It is very process-based, and I think I am going to really like it.
