Week Two - IN the machine at Woods Gallery

UPDATE: I will be changing the art in this machine on Thursday, December 9. The new art should be in place by 3 p.m.

I have brought an Art-o-mat machine to the Woods Gallery for the run of the "A Group of Girls" show (November 19 - December 30).

To keep in the theme of "A Group of Girls" I have chosen all women arto-artists with a wide selection of styles and media.

I will change the art in the machine each week. There is an arto-binder near the machine to show you examples of all of the art that will be available at some point during the show. PLEASE follow the instructions on the machine..."shop" the binder BEFORE making your selection...thanks.

In addition, starting with the second week, I will add a "Take a Chance" column of mixed artists...a truly random pull of the knob. This column will feature artpacks from artists that I have in limited quantities.

Art-o-mat artpacks make SUPER gifts, you know! What a unique twist for all of your $5 gift exchange needs...handmade, original art!

Huntington Woods Library Holiday Hours

The Huntington Woods Library is closing for the holiday tonight at 6:00 p.m. and will re-open again on Monday, November 28 at 10:00 a.m.

I will be changing the art in the Art-o-mat machine on Monday...it should be in place by noon. This machine is a part of the "A Group of Girls" show, which runs until December 30.

Art-o-mat artpacks are a GREAT solution when you are looking for something new and different for you holiday gift exchanges. $5 original art -- now that's a clever idea!

Tonight -- Opening Reception -- "A Group of Girls"

Tonight is the Opening Reception for this fabulous group show -- I am SO excited to be a part of it!

The "Group of Girls" is: Angel Busque, Renee Dooley, Joan Farago, Sherry Foster, Took Gallagher, Lisa Goedert, Lisa Grix, Terri Light, Mara Magyarosi, Angie Mausolf, Linda Mendelson, Lori O'Connor and Lisa Poszywak.

There is such an energetic and positive vibe running through everyone's work. The art is displayed in such a way that there is a real flow from piece to piece...very dynamic!

In addition, my Art-o-mat machine that is usually located at Detroit Comics in Ferndale will be graciously on loan to the Woods Gallery for the run of the show. To fit the theme of the show I am stocking the machine with all women arto-artists.

There is a binder chock full of information about Art-o-mat for you to look at. I have made pages of EVERY artist that will be available during the run of the show...so if you see something you like and it isn't in the machine at the moment be sure to come back -- I will be changing the art weekly (or sooner as needed). Have I mentioned that Art-o-mat artpacks make great stocking stuffers and unique $5 gifts?

The show runs from November 19 through December 30. The gallery is located in the lower level of the Huntington Woods Library. The library is closed on Fridays (except tonight for the opening, of course). For more information call 248 - 581 - 2696.

Teaser for tomorrow's opening...

Here is a teaser of one of the ten collages I made for my first-ever group show. Oh -- and I will also have one of the Art-o-mat machines there for the run of the show. The opening reception for "A Group of Girls" will take place from 6:30 - 8:30 on Friday, November 19 at the Woods Gallery, lower level of the Huntington Woods Library.

I am SO excited. But this is just the teaser...

What

New batch of Kettle-y goodness arrived this evening!

Here is the teaser photo for the latest batch of Kettle-y goodness that arrived this evening for our Art-o-mat collaboration series "KT Goodlove".

This will be our 4th set of KT Goodlove blocks...and will start with #151.

A new character or two...a few I'm not sure what they are...this set will be a challenge!

I will most likely get started on my part mid-week next week.

Coolness abounds.
