If you are traveling in the area, drop in and say hello. Also, take some time to explore Michigan because in the summer the state is beautiful! I really enjoy exploring different cities, visiting new places and meeting new people when out on the road doing my art shows. You never know who you are going to meet or fun experience to be had or cool art to scarf up. http://www.hotworks.org/orchardlakefineartshow/index.php</div>

You have a ton of prepping to do and inventory to make. Once you get on the road, you never know how a show is going to turn out, let alone what may happen along the journey that you have to face.

I know you can't see it, but this necklace is handmade links of both steel and brass... I'll be experimenting more with this cool and fun design. The nubby horizontal bars move, so its fun to play with!</div>

Hot item! They are a fast seller! That means I have made this similar design before.<br />
<br />
A little tid bit: Steel jewelry is easy to care for. Your body oils keep it from rusting on you, but don't allow any of your jewelry to sit in standing water for any length of time, especially steel. If you get it wet (in the shower), just towel it off and wear. If you want to make sure you get the water off an item, blow it dry for a few minutes with a hair dryer! I do this when making the jewelry to insure no residual water is left!</div>

Springs Folk Festival just ended and boy was it a hot one. My fabulous niece Makayla and I are supposed to dress up for this event as early Americans. That was a bit difficult considering the heat wave that began in October, so we cheated. Usually this event is cool, chilly, colder and mostly down right freezing! We have had years of having to dress in layers so heavy we look like a Parker family member wearing a Christmas Story red snow suit! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdVzYM8DYApBtH2bubXGKprWjVm_cdnhPg_iTF-oISLXhCgmh30mYpKarUElc-Hk3mJ4wxSMbj1nV_ULs9gniDXR7Xf-DlIy5j_X2c2JKjd3bFS4LQT9vzDhw0FvNy68K6IK9sp7C8OO0/s1600/a+christmas+story.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdVzYM8DYApBtH2bubXGKprWjVm_cdnhPg_iTF-oISLXhCgmh30mYpKarUElc-Hk3mJ4wxSMbj1nV_ULs9gniDXR7Xf-DlIy5j_X2c2JKjd3bFS4LQT9vzDhw0FvNy68K6IK9sp7C8OO0/s320/a+christmas+story.jpg" width="256" /></a>Ok, so not quite that bad, but you get the point! Even with all that being said, I have the best loyal customers who return year after year to this event, no matter what the weather to buy and enjoy the festival. Thanks to all you lovely people, many of which who have become my friends! </div>

My booth pictured at the Deep Creek Art & Wine Festival. It was a short one day event, but enjoyable in many ways. It had great artwork by vendors, really fun customers (um, that may have had something to do with all the wine) and it is usually an easy set up and tear down of my display. Only problem this year - when I was packing away my large sheets of glass, one pretty much exploded. All the marble like glass pieces shot out of the back of the van AFTER everyone else had left except for my potter friend. Not fun, but just part of doing "traveling" shows.<br />

Another neighbor and blacksmith made superb items with very clean lines. But - why did he elevate his tables off the floor on the mini tables? (Ok, so I do know why, it made them feel even more luxurious, if that was possible.) His quality shined!

My jewelry has crossed the seas arriving Nov 1st to be included in a really cool jewelry show in Scotland ! I'm totally jazzed. <a href="http://www.touchedbyscotland.com/2012winter.php">http://www.touchedbyscotland.com/2012winter.php</a> .<br />
<br />
What a journey this was, learning to adapt to customs requirements for the United Kingdom and the time spent on the phone gauging what I could and could not ship via UPS and all the restrictions! Apparently spent bullet shells are a NO NO, so I had to hold back some very cool and striking jewelry pieces. Live and learn, but after much hoop jumping, the work made it there safe and sound and just in time to put on display for the opening. Jenni was simply "brilliant" to work with (as I thoroughly enjoyed her sweet jovial accent) and I really appreciated the invite to such a cool show. Robin, one of the super friendly owners, extended this invitation to me so I could be a "little ol' representative" of the U.S. since she is originally from here and come to find out has been seeing my work for quite some time and thought it would be a unique fit for Scotland since she hasn't seen anything like it. I was tickled at the invite and excited by the representation in the beautiful small village of Oyne in rural Aberdeenshire! I can't wait to make a future journey to this contemporary gallery and explore Scotland. Now, where'd I put my kilt and bagpipe?Meadowbrook Artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03324598253624905971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659147149372871978.post-88770275708644215692012-09-17T16:33:00.000-04:002012-09-17T16:33:28.322-04:00Jewelry Tins are IN!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOFE_Bsgc1dX1s1XTKHbv01bMKkQTVDmoAysFyN6uUT-GZBAQBeOJOOZLqBsH9FynW-CTs55toyTsnE5MtgU0hezjFdVTX08YB1jtzNe6st9IsSwKKF2V3Kz_4rlY-8BUiQCMZ1Y9Hfvk/s1600/DSCN5916.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOFE_Bsgc1dX1s1XTKHbv01bMKkQTVDmoAysFyN6uUT-GZBAQBeOJOOZLqBsH9FynW-CTs55toyTsnE5MtgU0hezjFdVTX08YB1jtzNe6st9IsSwKKF2V3Kz_4rlY-8BUiQCMZ1Y9Hfvk/s320/DSCN5916.JPG" width="240" /></a>Jewelry Tins are In! I put together the cutest little tins of jewelry for the holiday shoppers and just delivered them to the Manhattan Golf & Gallery at 50 North Centre Street in Cumberland, Maryland (301-777-0021). <br />
<br />
The sets include a necklace and coordinating earrings and are creatively displayed and hand wrapped in the most adorable tins. It is such a fabulous gift or stocking stuffer. You can even slide a hook through the round tin bow and hang it on your tree for her to find! Limited quantities are available so drop in and grab one soon.<br />
<br />
That being said, did you ever wonder what goes into the packaging process of a professional but independent artist? It can be a task sometimes for sure. For instance, not only do I make the product, but then I have to come up with some creative ideas for display, especially for the stores I sell in.<br />
<br />

After ordering the tins, I had to design the inserts without a team of company helpers like the big boys. You simply can't find companies that already pre-make the inserts - believe me, I checked thoroughly.<br />
<br />
Things I had to consider as I tried to make this adorable, yet functional:<br />
<ul>
<li>find the right tools: cutting boards, scissors, circle cutters</li>
<li>gather other tools: glue, wire, hole punch, foam, etc.</li>
<li>make sure the inserts were the perfect fit, cut & cut again</li>
<li>don't let jewelry chains get tangled </li>
<li>raise it up to give it dimention and make room for earwires & chains</li>
<li>coordinate it color wise to current displays</li>
<li>does the color work and flatter the jewelry</li>
<li>as it is handled, will it fall apart</li>
<li>how can you see it better if you want a closer look and make it easier access</li>
<li>identify the price, contents & inventory numbers so you know what you are buying</li>
<li>make it attractive so you feel good about giving it as a gift and your gift will be loved when received</li>
<li>cut, glue & stick each insert in each tin</li>
<li>design, print, trim and prep the bows and tags</li>
<li>get another set of hands to help tie the bows (husbands and daughters are great for free labor!)</li>
<li>assemble assemble assemble</li>
<li>wait, what time is it???? it's that late?!!!</li>
</ul>
<br />
Now how do I display them in the store? Being a bit of a collector of stuff (aka mini horder) I found some metal brackets.<br />

One of my favorite artists and friend, Jean Barnes Downs <a href="http://solitudestudio.com/">http://solitudestudio.com/</a>, and I went on a ROAD TRIP to drop off art & jewelry product to Gifts Inn Boonsboro in Boonsboro, Maryland yesterday. We talked happily along the drive about our art, my new industrial bohemian jewelry line that I was taking to store, and her upcoming Artist in Residence trip to Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado that will allow her to explore the park to gain inspiration for her future work. </div>

Because I occasionally participate as a vendor at art & wine events, I decided to come up with a fun and whimsical stopper! They are so fun to make and so individualized that I sell out of them even before the holidays. They make a fabulous gift idea for all occasions, for both men and women. These one-a-kinds decorate bottles beautifully and fit most bottle openings!Meadowbrook Artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03324598253624905971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659147149372871978.post-44833358265791698852012-05-25T09:43:00.000-04:002012-08-03T09:46:58.762-04:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqq4c2e5QJhL1k8Y1uj2QkYC2ZcoMgUrqdH6eHyc0kwYl4Mzv1yqCtQQhIYgHA3yuez-bNVS7-MJSzwwnLxm3vrFW6ipLXqzOdbkMF-ZCMldO1M0gcEj39GSn6Sa9vrp6RXW1f4_AGcM8/s1600/DSCN4361.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqq4c2e5QJhL1k8Y1uj2QkYC2ZcoMgUrqdH6eHyc0kwYl4Mzv1yqCtQQhIYgHA3yuez-bNVS7-MJSzwwnLxm3vrFW6ipLXqzOdbkMF-ZCMldO1M0gcEj39GSn6Sa9vrp6RXW1f4_AGcM8/s400/DSCN4361.JPG" width="300" /></a><br />
I'm so excited, I now have a new Cumberland Maryland location for my jewelry! I just installed this jewelry today at the Manhattan Golf & Gallery on 50 N. Centre Street! They are revamping the space and are representing me as their sole "jeweler". They also have some really fun 2D artwork, do matting & can fit you for golf clubs! They have some fun and great contemporary painters that they are also representing. I took almost 50 pieces today and there will be a ton more to come over the next month and beyond!Meadowbrook Artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03324598253624905971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659147149372871978.post-48968114865502055782012-03-11T13:13:00.000-04:002012-04-27T13:15:00.115-04:00<div>

It is a nice way to stay healthy in between working on art. If you are ever in Cumberland MD and need a place to rent great bikes, go check out the Cumberland Trail Connection, in the Shops at Canal Place. Hutch will hook you up. <a href="http://www.ctcbikes.com/">http://www.ctcbikes.com/</a><br />
