My extraordinarily creative and very good friend Scottie Magro has generously organized Maple Days – a one-day event of art, shopping, food and fun! Many talented Etsy artists will be selling handmade, unique art in the parking lot by Michigan Bead Supply on Maple Road (east and west of Pontiac Trail) in Walled Lake, Michigan. Several businesses will be hosting sidewalk sales and various restaurants will be offering delicious food and drink. Red balloons will indicate all participating proprietors. As a bonus, the Farmer's Market will also be open. It's really a day you don't want to miss!

Combining Graphic Design with Jewelry Design

Among all the art that I do, fiber art - paper art - graphic art, jewelry design is one of my favorites. Recently I decided to take elements of my graphic design work to create pendants using shrink plastic (yes, shrinky dinks from the good old days). These little pieces of art are now available from my Etsy shop Barrel of Monkeys.
