Just in case you missed it....... HIGH FALLS MERCANTILE Celebration Pictures

For those of you who hadn't heard in advance, High Falls Mercantile, High Falls, N.Y. celebrated their 7th anniversary this past Saturday and I had the honor of being their featured artist.  It was a whirlwind day of people coming and going, compliments, OOOoo's and Ahhhh's, picture taking, champagne flowing and delectable delights. It's a bit of a blur but for the most part I remember all of the lovely people that I met. Everyone was excited to be in the lively environment, sharing Jeff, Larry and Cait's big day. (They sure do know how to throw a party!) We exchanged emails, talked about art...treasure hunts... and our love for cemeteries too!

Those of you who did come to the event, thank you so much for your support. It's always wonderful to see a friend amongst the crowd. Special thanks to Sal and Ellen for the flowers and good wishes. Heartfelt thanks to my Biff Janet, my daughter Brianne (nickname kept secret) and to Joey (nickname to come) for being my 'possee' for the day. It means everything to me for you to share in my day.

And....  very special thanks to Jeff, Larry and Cait for giving me the gift of the day and the gift of their friendships. I love you guys!

All best... Canace


Here comes the eye candy........ (click to enlarge)

Larry truly is the artist every day with the beautiful vignettes, the sensory experiences that he creates... not to speak of the infamous front window 'productions' that he creates.

If you could only scratch and sniff this one!

Beautiful arrangements.... very clever!

Oh look... I think I see some of Canace's work! ;o)

Number 3.... need a number 3

The genius of Larry once again

"The Mantel Time Machine" is published in '1000 Steampunk Creations' due to be released 7/11

I need all of this gorgeous pottery!

Inspired Remnants, Curious Dreams

I want to share what I believe to be the best mixed media book I have purchased in a very long time. It's entitled "Inspired Remnants, Curious Dreams" authored by Kerin Gale of 'Remnants of Olde'. Kerin has taken this great product to a much higher level. Her book is clear, concise and fun to read. And did I say inspiring? I couldn't wait to get my hands back into the clay to try her ideas and techniques. Kerin also does online workshops with the epoxy and apoxie clays. You can read all about it on her blog as well as the blog online tour where you can leave a comment and have the chance to win some amazing prizes. I've had fun doing the tour and looking at everyone's work and you will too.  Have fun! Create!

Sneak Peek

Only 3 more days to the High Falls Mercantile 7th Anniversary Celebration where I will be featuring all of my latest pieces. Lots of assemblages, prints and paintings on their way to the mercantile today for prep. The closer we get the more excited I am. It's going to be a fun day! If you're anywhere in the area I hope you'll stop by to say hello.

In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at one of the assemblages that will be there. It's entitled 'Dispense as Needed'.

Have a great sunny spring day!

A thousand apologies!

I know... I have been MIA for the most part for a few months now. Multiple reasons and most resolved. I plan to be back up and running and keep this blog fun and interesting once again.
I want to mention first that I had a visit from 'down under' last week and we had such a lovely time. I finally met Cherie (pronounced Sher-REE) from Sydney.

She and her lovely daughter 'Jus' came together on the train from NYC on probably the most miserable, rainy and chilly day of spring, but we still had a great time. And.... I got all sorts of pressies too! (presents)  If you follow her link you can follow her travels.. she and Jus are having a grand time!

Secondly, I got my 'mojo' back... tons of inspiration and motivation.  High Falls Mercantile is having their 7th Anniversary Celebration and I'm the featured artist! I'm so excited... so incredibly honored that they are featuring my work for their very special celebration. Best part is...I just adore Larry, Cait and Jeff  and you will too. If you are in the area please stop in to say hello and see the magic that they create. Did I mention how wonderful it smells inside?
