Hoo boy!

I think I may have mentioned this upcoming Art-o-mat® Minneapolis Regional Swap Meet.

Well, remember I was saying that besides the slightly larger collaboration pieces Kettle and I are making -- the ones I have been posting -- that we were also going to do a limited set of KT Goodlove (for trading with other Arto-artists and for selling to the public who attend the event)?

Well -- YOWZA!!! -- they arrived today...50 KT Goodlove blocks ... along with the 20th piece.


And I am still working on my own stuff for sale and trading.

PLUS there is one other surprise in the works...more about that later!


Yep, it is a really good thing that I am no longer doing that volunteer work. Whew!

Same activity, new day

Workin', workin', workin' on the Kettle collaboration pieces for the Art-o-mat® Minneapolis Regional Swap Meet.

Still working...

Yep...I am still plugging away today. I worked on two other pieces as well, but they still need edges and I can't quite "see" them yet. So for now, here are two more of the collaboration pieces that Kettle and I are making for the Art-o-mat® Minneapolis Regional Swap Meet.



(That's my scanner again, changing the colors of Kettle's paints! The area behind the cat girl is actually a kinda salmony color and the green is closer to the "before" picture...sheesh.)

Two More

Must. Keep. Working...Lots to do!



(those patterns in the orange flowers are from the scanner...they aren't really there!)

Here are a few more before/after shots of the collaboration pieces Kettle and I are making for the Art-o-mat® Minneapolis Regional Swap Meet.




On some of the plaques I am adding handmade paper to the edges or letting the background paper carry over the edge. On others I am leaving Kettle's paint treatments. (I am so bad at painting.)

Sneak Peak

Readers of this blog know that Kettle and I make a collaboration series for Art-o-mat® called "KT Goodlove".

Readers of this blog know about the Art-o-mat® regional swap meet coming up in Minneapolis on Saturday, April 17.

Stepping outside of the Arto-sized blocks, Kettle and I are collaborating on a very limited series of small plaques that will be for sale at the Chambers Hotel event. Here is a sneak peak...

Art-o-mat® Swap Meet!

What are YOU doing on April 17th?

Come to Minneapolis for an Art-o-mat® Swap Meet!
