WHO'S WEARING LADY FRA-GA'S ASS-SESSORIES?

Today I introduced Lady Fra-Ga to our beautiful Carnegie Community Arts Center's director, Lady Diane Giddens.  Before I knew it, Lady Di was proudly wearing Lady Fra-Ga's largest loops!  (Lady Di has always been one of my works' biggest fans!  Now, heaven help us if these two spend alot of time together!)
Then, before I could turn around, artist CeCe Butcher fell in love with Lady Fra-Ga and purchased a pair for herself!  Below is a work of art in progress that one can view downstairs in the Carnegie Center.  Her large, colorful, quilt-like works come alive before visitors eyes!  CeCe is the Master Musician's Artist this year (more on that later!).   
Finally, we were able to display Lady Fra-Ga's Ass-cessories in the Sheltowee Art Shop on the main floor.  Located at 107 N Main ST, Somerset, KY, our shop is our region's first and only artist Co-Op shop and entirely run by local artists.  Hours are Tuesday-Friday, 11-2pm.  Stop in to meet an artist and view the hundreds of original, well-made art and crafts!

THE ART FAIR IS OVER! THANK YOU CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS WHO STOPED BY!

Lady Fra-Ga and I had a wonderful art fair, thanks to the wonderful friends who visited us!  Due to extremely fabulous weather (cool and clear), a beautiful new venue (Equus Run Vineyard rocks!) and the energetic and helpful staff of Franscisco Farm Art Fair, it could not have been more fun or successful!  I worked the whole fair and could not partake of the wine, but as you can see, Lady Fra-Ga goofed off and just pooped out on me.  But, NOT before she showed off her new line of Lady Fra-Ga 'ass'-cessories which were a hit!  I hope the event draws more and more art lovers in the coming years.  As Bill and I joined the Wine Club there, he and I will be in and out ourselves, though it is a 2 hour drive from home.  (That is how much we loved the place.)  I realized through a texting special I ran Saturday and Sunday that many of my customers are needing some tech knowledge.  I hope to soon post some of the things I have learned from my very savy sons.  And, since Lady Fra-Ga is here and fully (most of the time) full of herself and very creative, you may like to watch her in her new role as my side-'kick'!  The weather was so nice, her past company, Big Ass Fans, did not have the heat to show off in!  But, she is my mascot now.  What?  Oh, forgive me, but Lady Fra-Ga is calling for more aspirin...............

OH, MY LADY FRA-GA!

Lady Fra-Ga's transformation is complete!  She will be on the 'catwalk' of Fransisco Farm Art Fair June 25 and 26 wearing this zebra patterned sequin cape, just covering her tiny black lace string top and thong (her idea, not mine!).  Her tiara, which is so heavy she wears a neck brace to hold it up, is silver and gold stars, hot pink rhinestone, and a red feather spray.  The jewelry she is wearing is all Lady Fra-Ga and will be on sale at the fair (she is demanding 10% of the proceeds!).  Going barefoot is putting emphasis on the fact that she is atop a 10 inch hot pink high heel where she is able to play her keyboard at the heel.  I love her, but until this art fair is over, I am not ga-ga over her newly found attitude (tears, pushing hair back, drama, and calling her friends little monsters)!  But, moms out there: we know this attitude well from our teenagers!  And, she has come a long way from simple mule to this.  She deserves the fame!  (Use the SHARE buttons below to give her extra coverage.  We are trying to be the most popular Fannie at the art fair and we need all the help we can get!  Check out the art fair where she and I will be: www.franciscosfarm.org.)

WHO NEEDS A 10 INCH HOT PINK HIGH HEEL? LADY FRA-GA!

Lady Fra-Ga's high heel piano is finished!  With assistance, she can now climb up onto this piano fashioned just for her.  Ofcourse, she was inspired by her favorite singer/songwriter who has a similar prop for performances!  Lady Fra-Ga is hoping this heel will go down into the history books of the Fransisco Farm Art Fair where she will make her public debut (for short: the mule with the heel!)  Tomorrow is her very own debut--hair, makeup, costume, even painted toenails.  Stay tuned!  She is still ga-ga over the idea of being a star. (Use the SHARE buttons below to give her extra coverage.  We are trying to be the most popular Fannie at the art fair and we need all the help we can get!  Check out the art fair where she and I will be: www.franciscosfarm.org.)

HAIR! MAKEUP! LIGHTS! Oh, My Lady Fra-ga gets a MAKEOVER!

Frannie simply went all out during the makeover!  (Ofcourse, she is 'ga-ga' over the star she is impersonating.)  The longest of straight, blond hair; the reddest of lips; eye makeup that would make Cleopatra envious.  And, ofcourse, hot pink duck tape as the standard.  I am getting her costume ready while she primps.  Monday, the high heel will be ready to be showcased.  Tuesday is her coming out party!  Then we make jewelry for the Art Fair where she will shine (we hope!) as OH MY LADY FRA-GA!  Join us if you can at Franciscos Farm Art Fair, June 25 & 26 at Equus Run Vineyards!  (Use the SHARE buttons below to give her extra coverage.  We are trying to be the most popular Frannie at the art fair and we need all the help we can get!  Check out the art fair where she and I will be: www.franciscosfarm.org.)

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SHOES, PEOPLE!!!

Fannie and I have been busy!  While she went shopping for MORE items to begin her transformation into Lady Fra-ga, I stayed home and worked on her piano-shoe!  Luckily I had a HUGE plastic soap container that was empty and sitting around in the recycly bin!  From Big-Lots I found hot pink duck tape.  The basic shoe is formed, and when Fannie came home, she fit nicely into the top piano section.  She is very impatient to begin her transformation, so this afternoon its her turn!  She has seen a make-over show and is excited to begin her own!  She has very high hopes of being seen and complimented at the Francisco Art Fair.  (Use the SHARE buttons below to give her extra coverage.  We are trying to be the most popular Fannie at the art fair and we need all the help we can get!  Check out the art fair where she and I will be: www.franciscosfarm.org.)

FRANNIE BEGINS HER MAKEOVER INTO LADY FRA-GA!

A theme has been selected for mascot Frannie.  Lady Fra-ga will make her debut soon!  Daughter-in-love, Emi, suggested the new persona to Frannie and Frannie is a big *FAN* of a performing artist who has a similar name.  She went ga-ga over the idea of it all!  Like me, she always wished for masses of long, straight, blond hair.  (And, black lace and high heels are fun occassionally.)  Not to mention being the shining star of Franciscos Farm Art Fair, June 25 & 26 at Equus Run Vineyards!  Nothing could ever beat that!  We went shopping at a thrift store and gathered my art supplies from things at home.  Now, we begin!  (Use the SHARE buttons below to give her extra coverage.  We are trying to be the most popular Frannie at the art fair and we need all the help we can get!  Check out the art fair where she and I will be: www.franciscosfarm.org.)
