Busy, busy!

Had a terrific winter! I participated in the American Craft Council Show in Baltimore. I was part of the altcraft section that showcased new and alternative design. Big show and was honored to be included. This spring I am participating in the Admo Pop Up in Adams Morgan in Washington, DC. The shop will be open through April 16, so stop in if you're in town. Next up for me is Art in the Park in Richmond, Virginia on April 30 and May 1. Great show and I will have alot of new work.

Stay tuned for pictures of my new work. I will also be doing some give a ways, so check back when you can. You can also follow me on facebook at Over the Moon Handmade.

Best to all!

Heading to Philly for lovesick!

It's going to be an early night for me! Heading to Philly for the 1st annual Lovesick Wedding Expo in the morning. Daily Candy featured the expo on their Philly edition so it should be mobbed! New designs, new display...hoping to be cool enough for this rockin' party!

Lovesick wedding expo in Philly and ACC alternative Craft Section , Baltimore

I am expecting a very busy winter! I will be participating in the Lovesick Wedding Expo in Philly this January. This will be a new show for me! I plan on bringing a lot of cool new products geared toward bridesmaids, and bridal party gifts. Ever heard of cool guitar string wedding bands and celestial bridesmaid earrings? Be there or be boring!

In February, I will be participating in the American Craft Council alternative craft section in Baltimore. The show will take place from Feb. 24-27. If you have any creative booth ideas, I would love to hear them!!! I will be posting work that I will be featuring in the show!!

Happy Festivus to all!!

PRS Guitars!

Exciting news! I have worked out a great partnership with the international guitar company PRS Guitars! They have agreed to give me their old guitar strings. It will work like this: when they refurbish an old guitar, they cut the strings off and put new ones on. I will get those strings along with the "nubs" found at the bottom that keep the strings in place. I will also get the strings that break in the guitar making process. I am beyond excited, as you have probably guessed. So, if you buy a pair of earrings or any piece of jewelry from me after Friday...it just might be Carlos Santana's old guitar strings. How awesome is that!

American Visionary Arts Museum

For the next month and a half I will be creating new original work for the American Visionary Art Museum's Bazaart show that opens the day after Thanksgiving and runs through Saturday. My work will incorporate everything I have been developing this past summer and new inspirations.

My work is inspired by color, designs from the past and unusual texture and shape. the trick will be to edit and hone designs that work, letting go of the ideas that don't. I'm feeling up to the challenge and excited to create beautiful pieces.

shows!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Bethany Beach Boardwalk Arts Festival! All of my shows have gone pretty well this past spring and summer. I am thrilled by the response to my new work!

In November I am honored to be participating in the American Visionary Art Museum's Bazaart Festival taking place at the museum on November 26 and 27. I have been a big fan of this museum for many years and am planning to create a line exclusive to this show! If you are in Baltimore over the Thanksgiving Holiday plan on stopping in. Hours are posted on their web site.

Personally the fam and I are slowly adjusting to the highly scheduled life that is fall. Gracie is in her second year of high school with a rigorous academic schedule and a new sport, cross country! To be honest, I don't know how she does it. Liam is Liam...He marches to his own drummer. A fact that I admire greatly.

new, new work
