Spoke Cards On The Obama Art Report!

Woo hoo! The spoke cards got mentioned on the Obama Art Report today!

(Did I mention they are also in the August print issue of Paper Magazine?)

I knew it was gonna happen but I'm thrilled it did before I went on vacation, so I could tell you all about it. Now I'm off to the woods of Michigan for 3 weeks. Will be back in my usual swing when I return, with lots to catch you up on.

Enjoy August!

WTUL Interview with the New Orleans Craft Mafia

Last year, Mallory of dismantled-designs.com and MissMalaprop.com and I did a radio interview at WTUL about the New Orleans Craft Mafia, as part of the Radio Newcomb show which featured music, news, interviews and event announcements about women around New Orleans.

It's a year old (June 2007), but most of the information is still relevant, and it's finally archived online. I'm not sure exactly how long it is - I think maybe 15 minutes or so? - but for once I don't sound like a complete idiot. So check it out!

Closing Down... Temporarily.

Yes, it's about that time. I am in the throes of packing for our big move from Louisville down to New Orleans in less than a week, and we are boxing up the studio today. So, what that means is... I'm leaving my Etsy shop up until Wednesday, as I've pulled all that stuff into one bin and can easily access it, but I will no longer be able to produce anything - clocks, tshirts, prints, anything - until I get settled in New Orleans. And for my sanity's sake, I have made the executive decision to go ahead and remain closed between our arrival in New Orleans and our departure for MichFest only two weeks later.

Break it down, you say? That means: If you want something off my Etsy site between now and Wednesday, please order quickly. The Etsy shop will be taken down on Wednesday. If you wanted something off my webshop, it's already too late. You'll have be patient and wait until I return from MichFest on August 18th.

But don't worry. Everything will be available again and I'll be back in full force come September. My first official event in New Orleans will be the Freret Market on the first Saturday of September.

Have a wonderful summer and thanks to all who've shown their support!
