Holiday 2016 Recap

Well. That was fun!

Hands down, the highlight of the 2016 Christmas craft sale season was the W.E.S.T. (Winnipeg ETSY Street Team) Holiday Craft Market, held at the St James Civic Centre on December 17. 

It was my first W.E.S.T. sale since... ack... since forever, and it definitely didn't disappoint. Along with dozens of Domino Pins, cards, and a couple pieces of art, a huge pile of t-shirt pillows (including all of the ones pictured above) went to their forever homes. 

Thanks to all who came out to support local makers!!

I'm looking forward to re-stocking the shop with some new pillows and pins for the Spring 2017 sales, but for now, it's nice to be able to take a little break and recharge the creative batteries.

Alright... enough gabbing. Click the photo above to be taken to the new and improved

Vicky - collage

For this collage, I used patterned paper, vintage images, 

and text from "A Career for Vicky" by Wynn Kincade (1962).

I love this one. And I don't think we've seen the last of Vicky.

You Might as Well be Amusing - collage

"You only live once; you might as well be amusing."

In Her New Position - collage

I used a much-coveted vintage postcard, along with patterned papers 

and vintage ephemera to create this charming collage. 

Do you recognize the building? It's Winnipeg's old downtown Eatons store, 

which stood on Portage Avenue from 1905-1999.

We Lose Ourselves - collage

"We lose ourselves in the things we love. We find ourselves there, too."

Anyone who loves art, yoga, running, music, dance, small-engine repair, off-roading, bonsai-tending, and collecting souvenir glassware knows what I'm tallking about. Ok, maybe not running.

This collage features a sweet gal in a fetching floral apron with a matching potholder. (Does she get lost in baking or gardening? We'll never know.) It is available framed (as shown) or unframed.

The Life She Imagined - collage

"She decided to start living the life she imagined."

I wouldn't call my art biographical, per se, but I can always look at a piece and tell where my head was at when I created it. Clearly, this one was made just after a big change in my life. 

And that's all we need to say about that.

This collage features a very elegant redhead (I was also going through my "Joan" phase), against a background of patterned papers. It is available framed (as shown) or unframed.

Come Sit Beside Me - collage

"If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit beside me."

This is me and my bestie to a T. Come to think about it, it could describe most of my good friendships! (Clearly, a healthy dose of snark is something that I admire in a person.)

This collage was recently auctioned 

at the MAWA "Over the Top" annual auction (and cupcake party.) 

The original sold for $125, but you can buy a framed print for only $35 (unframed - $20).
