Thank you for stopping by and have a look.

Studio Time

Greetings,

This morning’s post will be brief.

This afternoon I will be attending an introductory class at Jo-Ann‘s Fabrics as a sit-in, to watch the class, the instructor, and to see how things go with lesson plans and schedules.  I am kind of excited.

The studio is currently in state of disarray as I attempt to get prepared for the Flea Market this weekend, beads, wire, bits of stuff is everywhere and needs to be packed and put away.   We do have some new items on the table, so come on by and have a look.  We’ll be at the Fair Grounds.

Treasure Valley Flea Market

Enrolled in a Jewelry and Metal Arts Class, the first project is due soon and I am in need of materials to finish it up, shopping is also agenda.

Yes, all of that is wonderful, but what is going on in the studio?

Weaving Bracelets.

Making Earrings.

Re-doing the Etsy Shop

Paring down and reorganizing the sites and web presence.

Yes, always busy.

Thank you for stopping by, it is Wednesday, and the work week is almost done!

A Random Friday

The weekend is here and I don’t think I have ever been so happy to see one!

Friday’s are usually links and promotions, I have been busy with classes this week and haven’t had time to look for much.  My plate is suddenly very full, which is a good thing.

I have been talking about starting to teach classes at Jo-Ann‘s.  Here is there website.  Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores.  From here you can find a store, look for a class, sign up for offers and even shop some of their items.  If you’re a craft-person this is a neat site.  You can even buy a class for a friend as a gift.

Yesterday’s blog discussed tools, a rotary or Dremel tool being the prominent tool.  Here are three links to the tool.

Dremel.com – Website Homepage.

Video Projects – What should I do with my Dremel?

Customer Creations Gallery – What other people did with their Dremel tool.  Some of the projects are amazing!

Like this Curly Maple Clock

A Hardwood Ark

Or this Wooden Sign

Tools are pretty cool.

Next weekend is the last Treasure Valley Market of the season, and I will be attending.  We’ll link the commercial and the event one more time next week.  I hope to see the locals there.

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!  Rest.  Relax.  Rejuvenate!

Monday

Good Monday Morning to you all.

There is no blog post this morning, The Alchemists Vessel spent the weekend at an indoor Market Venue.  Unpacking and cleaning the jewelry begins today in preparation for next month’s show.

The next show will be April 14th and 15th, and we hope to see you there.

Links and Promotions

Good Morning,

There won’t be a blog posting tomorrow as I am in a flurry of activity trying to get ready for the market.  So this morning will be a mix of Thursday’s and Friday’s usual post.

And then again maybe not.  I am short a featured artist this week, so perhaps instead of visiting them on line, might I suggest a trip to a local Art Gallery, Boise has several, and you can walk right in.  Unlike the museum, they are free to browse, and many are in cool locations, below street level or tucked away in buildings that looks like it holds financial offices.  Checkout your town’s local Art underground.

The Treasure Valley Flea Market is this weekend.  March 24, and 25, 2012, at the Expo Idaho Buildings at the Fair Grounds. 5610 Chinden Blvd.  See the Google Map a the bottom of this blog for directions and location.

Thanks for stopping in.
