I’ve always wanted a table at the Halifax Farmers Market. I talked with a friend of mine, the talented Geordan Moore (www.whostolemybike.com) and we decided to give it a try. Yesterday was our first day there – thank you for making us feel so welcome! We were very well accepted and will try to attend again next week if space permits. Unfortunately we don’t know where we will be located but have a look around and try to find us!

If you were a fan of my hand printed shirts, be sure to sign up (left) for my email news letter to have first dibs on new threads and other news.

Hope to see you next week!

Lovely Peter Farmer of The Paragon Theatre invited me to hang my work for the month of February in on their café wall! I hung my work on the generous 30 foot white wall last week and it will be on display for the entire month. The opening of the show is THIS TUESDAY February 9th from 8pm-midnight. If you are in the Halifax area please come out and have a look! The mediums in the show vary – acrylic paintings, prints, ink and watercolor and one embroidery piece.

Below is the Paragon’s calendar for the month of February. Lots of great art and music events… be sure to catch Peter’s live painting event Feb 13th!

The annual Pre-Shrunk Exhibit at Argyle Fine Art opened last week with a great crowd, despite the wretched weather! This show is dedicated to tiny works all measuring roughly 4×5 inches. I submitted two paintings for the show. Photos below!

I’ve been so busy between design projects, art shows and life that I haven’t posted photos of this event yet. Well here they are! Thank you to Peter Farmer of The Paragon Theatre for making this event happen – and inviting me to participate!

The Paragon Theatre Industry Night features the ZODIAC show.

12 painters collaborate to paint the full zodiac live during a party atmosphere. With The industry night DJ’s and these 12 talented painters this Tuesday night will be mental fun.

The Painters will be lined up in a giant ring and will be assigned one zodiac sign each. They will only have a few hours to make these blank canvases into celestial symbols. The finished works will be for sale the night of show. S

My design “Flock” for Red Spruce Handwork Rugs is featured in Azure Magazine! I am totally thrilled. It has always been a dream to be featured in print :)

This week the Good Day Bear I print has been included in the lovely collection of fabulous drawn items available on Etsy. This treasury was put together by smallthreads of www.shopsmallthreads.blogspot.com

Hand printed holiday greeting cards listing on Etsy

I am still new to Etsy, how things run there and all it’s glory. I received a message today from a fellow Etsian letting me know they included me in their treasury. What I understand about these treasuries is that they are a list of items a user compiles that shares some sort of theme, colour scheme, etc. Thanks to fawnpotter I have been included in my first Etsy Treasury. My lovely hand-printed cards have been added to the treasury named “Franny’s Lil Aligator Bag” which is packed full of wonderful, bright finds. Check it out here:
