We open in just a couple hours. Everyone is filling their shelves and putting out their wares. It’s always so hard to finish putting out my own pottery when all I want to do is gawk & shop in everyone else’s booth!!! Especially my “creative genius” friend Cory McCrory.

Be sure to stop by to chat with the artists, buy some handmade art or just hang out in Amy’s beautiful garden! In the backyard garden of my friend & wonderful metalsmith Amy Taylor.

My friend Donna Sauers is apparently working late into the night to make just a few more beauties for this weekend’s ART IN THE GARDEN. Pack it in & go to bed Donna… we open tomorrow at 10:00am!!!

Looks like something special in the works?! This is the kind of “magic” that happens when artist friends get together and collaborate. Come to ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend to see the final results. Amy Taylor is amazing!!! And let me just add two more enticing tidbits… “Limited Edition” and even better… “interchangeable.”

So we started with some textured clay “cabachons” or disc inserts.

Then Amy made some great metal “cases” to hold the discs. Practically everything Amy makes has a hinge on it somewhere, so it was no surprise that these do too!!!

A little cleaning up… and then polishing…

Insert the ceramic disk… and voila’… PERFECTION!!!
She’s amazing… and this one may just have to be mibe?!

And again… interchangeable ceramic disks in the hinged sterling case…
but VERY Limited Quantities this weekend only at ART IN THE GARDEN!!!

We’re all frantically getting ready for ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend. And it looks like my friend Cory McCrory might be bringing some hot pots fresh out of the kiln!!! Click on the Link for more information about ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview. Two days of art & fun this weekend!

Looks like Donna Sauers has been busy making beads, assembling jewelry and getting ready for next weekend. Her workbench is getting full of wonderful things that will be at ART IN THE GARDEN. A fun, little art fair with a handful of talented friends!!! September 10th & 11th at 1205 Hutchings Avenue, Glenview, Illinois 60025. Be sure to stop by to chat with the artists, enjoy the garden and go home with some local, handmade art!

Collaboration fun coming soon… see what happens when my textured ceramic discs are shared with metalsmith Amy Taylor and a “challenge” to make something cool out of them. The “Big Reveal” will be this weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN. September 10th & 11th at 1205 Hutchings Avenue, Glenview, Illinois 60025. Stop by early for these “limited edition” collaboration pieces!!!

Eight “talented friends” hanging out in the garden. A smaller, more intimate grassroots art fair. This is our third year hosted by my friend & metalsmith Amy Taylor. A great alternative to the mega-art fairs that can be a bit overwhelming. Easier to shop, chat with the artists, or just hang out and relax in Amy’s garden!
