With 5 granddaughters and one elderly father, we have decided to spend most of our time at play! We will still sell our work at fine craft shops/galleries, but as most of you know already, one only has so much time! We want to pull back from work and focus on family. Its a great pleasure to have this choice! And, our kids are the best! We still love and think of you, and hope to hear from you in the future! If you have a special request, please contact us. Our lead time is greater, but we are still being very artistic!

The Market actually began in Lexington, and then moved to Louisville in the 80's, where I exhibited there after moving to KY from Virginia. At the time, I was making porcelain jewelry and my husband, Bill, was a silversmith. We often joined forces to create works with both porcelain and silver. I remember my first market there! I was thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful group! Fran Redmon, director of KY Crafted at the time, came by and admired my blow up manikins dressed up in my own clothes to show off what I made. I won a booth design award that year and thought Kentucky was surely the best place on earth to be a craftsman! I was right! The years passed and in my opinion Kentucky is still the best state in the union to be an artist. Here is a link to a million or so interesting things about our market: <a href="http://migration.kentucky.gov/Newsroom/kyarts/Market12_inNumbers.htm">http://migration.kentucky.gov/Newsroom/kyarts/Market12_inNumbers.htm</a>.

I see unhappy people at the grocery store and know everyone does not share my holiday cheer. I know, the Puritans did not actually treat the Natives with kindness, we still eat the unfortunate turkey, and the world is far from perfect! That said, this is MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY! Its a time of gratefulness and appreciation with no gift giving and overly traditional expectations! Nothing but a meal shared with someone you love. Perfect! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I know, some of these are not exactly like the real things, but I am experimenting with different styles and forms of our enameled parts! I hope to make the team several different dental accessories--some with cavities as you see here! They love to laugh and share, so I know these and the others I make will be hits! Thanks, everyone!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My granddaughter is ONE! I was asked to make a veggie tray for her birthday party of 50 people! The theme was vintage with little red wagons and sock monkeys. I felt like the pressure was on--as I am an artist and my daughter-in-love has unbounded faith in me to come up with great stuff! So, I put together the themes and came up with a road map of vegetable patches, flower gardens and bugs. With a little help from the computer for the radish bugs, mice and flowers ideas, I took one large tray and made Bill get to chopping! I divided the tray using tape and long strips of a plastic lettuce-mix container to make a forked road. I also used strips of large plastic cups and taped them down to create circles for the flower beds. All the layers were a little bit shorter than the outer edges of the tray. Then, with Bill's help, filled the rounds and straight rows with veggies, fruits, olives and pickles. Brocolli florets filled in the spaces in between and hid all the problem areas. The wagon? Just a Christmas box cut down with cheap yo-yo wheels attached and then filled with toothpicks. The veggie tray was a hit, my daughter-in-love still thinks I am an artist genius, and my granddaughter happily ate all the raspberries and hummus dip!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Here is where I brag on MY daughter-in-love's decorations!!! I think the party was wonderful and beautiful, just as she had envisioned months ago. Once she had the idea, she began collecting the different items she would need from Amazon! The Cracker Jack boxes were the favors, she made her own red velvet cupcakes and banners, and our neighbor provided most of the darling sock monkeys from HER grandson's birthday two weeks ago. The only hitch in the whole party and prep was the smash cake for my granddaughter: she got a taste of the red and blue icing and burst into tears. Seems this girl likes raspberries and hummus dip better!!!The Sheltowee Art Shop:http://www.blogger.com/profile/02898502474837279930noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026741567524330157.post-1973594842479042522011-11-04T07:14:00.000-07:002011-11-04T07:14:41.795-07:00MY YOUNGEST BLOG FOLLOWER!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqtmnfegiN4SCu1bGpswYP5jZM3scob0n57tGuZNeRi23P_bVJFgLxx5BLYLfD6x_9can-73zGnEAhN2aDOdi5iCpukzsk-NBoOCnLmSajbuRQjNXwEMkY8z8wf-ABpRpJkL-c4Y-cyoK/s1600/download+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqtmnfegiN4SCu1bGpswYP5jZM3scob0n57tGuZNeRi23P_bVJFgLxx5BLYLfD6x_9can-73zGnEAhN2aDOdi5iCpukzsk-NBoOCnLmSajbuRQjNXwEMkY8z8wf-ABpRpJkL-c4Y-cyoK/s320/download+%25281%2529.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>At my art fairs in Kentucky and Indiana, I am totally blown away when a customer as young as Taylor admires my work! She loved my Lady Fraga section and is wearing a Lady Fraga necklace in the photo. We found we are both creative spirits who enjoy the arts and leading active lives! Taylor has become my youngest blog follower. Besides the arts, she is also active in cheering, gymnastics, acting and biking! I know that wherever Taylor is, life will be much more interesting!

I thought of a simple (and cheap and eco-friendly) way to do it! The dead body outline is black duck tape (to contrast with the paved drive) and the blood is flower petals! Bill made a great model, didn't he? Around the house columns I draped yellow CAUTION tape. Upon seeing the results, a nice neighbor rushed over thinking we were in trouble! Decor in this area may not be needed, as last year we got SO many trick or treaters! But, they knew how to say "thank you" and were a pleasure! Bill has loads of candy to give out and we are ready!!!

As the third oldest art guild in the nation, and one of its finest, the KY Guild began as a train!!! The Guild Train was the nation's first Art and Craft train. Its goals were the same as the KY Guild's is today: bring fine art and craft to America's people, teach the arts to all who are interested, and help artists find economic security with the making and selling of their work. Dedicated by Gov. Bert Combs and donated by Louisville/ Nashville Railroad, it ran across this state for seven years, back and forth, influencing several hundred thousand children and adults. It would stay in one place for a few days and demonstrate woodworking, weaving or ceramics, show off finished products and literally "find" craftspeople in very rural communities. This weekend, you can drive a few miles to revisit the same experience. Take either exit off I75 at Berea and follow the signs to beautiful Indian Fort Theater. Hope to see you there! I will have my jewelry and Bill will sell his soy soaps and candles. <br />

This rating was made by the art fair industry standard, Sunshine Artist Magazine! Bill and I will be part of 750 artists and over the next few days we will be visited by some of the 200,000 shoppers! Just setting up on the streets housing huge Victorian homes takes us all day. We arrive very early on Thursday in order to get our car and trailer in to unload! But, we do it because there is not another art fair like this one! The artists are friendly, the art is spectacular and the artists travel from all over the world! During the first decade I was part of St. James I used to tell customers, "Come early on Friday before the crowd arrives!" But later teachers chose Friday as a holiday, so now Fridays are packed with customers too! As to parking, swing into any of the private pay parking lots and shorten your walk to the fair. If you happen to score a free street parking place, all the better! Wear good walking shoes and bring a water bottle and cell phone. Weather will be in the low 60's with no rain so its perfect for almost everyone! Hope to see you as you travel down Magnolia AV, between 3rd and 4th Streets! www.stjamescourtartshow.comThe Sheltowee Art Shop:http://www.blogger.com/profile/02898502474837279930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026741567524330157.post-13167180479778904752011-09-25T09:06:00.000-07:002011-09-25T09:08:00.185-07:00ST JAMES ART FAIR (SEPT 30-OCT 2) FACT #3<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jrzEv5yGEWzH5OdfjwNLM1CWQNRO_MhyU3rWb1G0_uM3uuUzatLfDUN6Ccs69cfAi_3VcGJdPpJuT-B3NOmcyY6mWLAGHWxeFw72rgYq5-Euxe50Kq8Le3NYPZD7V8mh6i6xf-kgpYBW/s1600/stjames.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jrzEv5yGEWzH5OdfjwNLM1CWQNRO_MhyU3rWb1G0_uM3uuUzatLfDUN6Ccs69cfAi_3VcGJdPpJuT-B3NOmcyY6mWLAGHWxeFw72rgYq5-Euxe50Kq8Le3NYPZD7V8mh6i6xf-kgpYBW/s400/stjames.jpg" width="257" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">ART FACT #3: St. James Ct. Art Fair is actually 6 shows in one! After the original neighborhood established the Art Fair around the St. James Ct. fountain and refurbished it, other streets in the neighborhood did the same. Now we have six actual art fairs where artists apply to set up and sell: St. James Ct.; Belgravia Ct.; Forth St.; 1300 Third Assoc.; 3rd St. Assoc.; and West End Baptist Church! (Each is as big as a regular art fair!) Bill and I sell on Magnolia Street, between 3rd and 4th Streets and we are part of the 1300 Third Assoc. We love our location and street! It tickles me that every year there are "illegal arti-liens" that try to slip in and sell in unforseen places. People get upset. Its all part of the creative adventure of St. James Ct. Art Show! If you come and visit, you probably won't even know one street from another, or notice the legals from the "art-liens!" You will just be awed by it all! If you chose to, you can even purchase a T-shirt or a Poster by this year's winning artist, Kieth Simon, in the photo above!

FACT #1: This 55 year old art fair actually started out as a way to pay the bills! The old neighborhood had crumbling fountains and no street lights in 1957. Malclom Bird held the first art fair with music and art on a clothesline. It worked, as the $700 they earned bought the St. James Court its 20 street lights! stjamescourtartshow.comThe Sheltowee Art Shop:http://www.blogger.com/profile/02898502474837279930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026741567524330157.post-21687204068705968842011-08-24T04:13:00.000-07:002011-08-24T04:13:11.789-07:00A BEAUTIFUL ART FAIR THIS WEEKEND: AUGUST 27 & 28!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguFU9c-BooohNKSAQ1PkU1RqxLg321gSGUUuqGuDmLeWnjD1VXlYTSh355hz75URSnxVSnMuAVaDS10x9nXkqjp7ZjVJ9hqUyv_TZIQhkU93hivFBDUK2rH09JuUOqiCq49B_QrR5IZauf/s1600/187770_239153829454926_1786773_q.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguFU9c-BooohNKSAQ1PkU1RqxLg321gSGUUuqGuDmLeWnjD1VXlYTSh355hz75URSnxVSnMuAVaDS10x9nXkqjp7ZjVJ9hqUyv_TZIQhkU93hivFBDUK2rH09JuUOqiCq49B_QrR5IZauf/s1600/187770_239153829454926_1786773_q.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Art in Speed Park has become a Kentuckiana favorite for a reason . . .<br />

Welch who had seen one of my Wild Welch Women Pendants at Promanade Gallery in Berea. She was interested in why I had misspelled "Welch" as her family were named Welch, and not Welsh. Well, I told her, "I am a terrible speller!" Luckily for me, misspelling the name was just what brought me an order for these pins--10 of them developed over the year--for her Welch relatives!!! Yes, the Welch family will hold a reunion soon and guess what will likely be the highlight for them after the kissing and hugging? I can only hope! Thank you J. Welch! They are in the mail!</div>The Sheltowee Art Shop:http://www.blogger.com/profile/02898502474837279930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026741567524330157.post-78873702931373676962011-07-05T05:48:00.000-07:002011-07-05T05:51:51.603-07:00LEARNSHOPS FOR EVERYONE!

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...............The Sheltowee Art Shop:http://www.blogger.com/profile/02898502474837279930noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026741567524330157.post-49018197360005823272011-06-23T11:12:00.000-07:002011-06-23T11:22:22.698-07:00LADY FRA-GA'S ACCESSORIES AT EQUUS RUN WINERY THIS WEEKEND!<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

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!

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.

(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!

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.

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.
