On the right hand margin, I will be posting my upcoming shows for the fall here on the Blog. Right now I am doing a lot of planning and making! I have been making horses which I will be taking to Shemer Art Gallery for their gift shop. I’m not sure how much they will cost, but the Director will tell me since she has lots of experience. That is the hardest part of my hobby. I really enjoy finding new things to wrap and what to wrap them with. Always searching out thrift stores. Last week at Goodwill there was a rack in the aisle for employees to put away which was abandoned…..well, I couldn’t find anyone close by, but there were 2 bags of old toy horses just sitting there already priced. I took them and was so excited to find them! It’s the little things that excite me.
I started an Etsy shop which can be accessed on this site by clicking the tab. It will take you out of my site directly to deserttones (my Etsy shop). I just have 25 pins on there for now to see how it goes. It is free shipping.
Just this week I started making my Spirit Dudes line. These little guys are so cute and I have fun making them. They are slightly bendable and can stand on their own. I think they are too heavy as a pin. They can be displayed standing or in a cubby of a shadowbox. That is how I am going to display them myself at my shows. I may even start one for my wall at home to include my other critters in the cubbies. I had customers give me that idea instead of using them as pins. The cubby for the Spirit Dudes would have to measure about 4”x4” to display them the best. I am finding it hard to find shadow boxes, but may find a way to make them.
I’m still experimenting with these little guys, so stay tuned. I may tweek them a bit. They are about 3-1/2” high including the hair.
Here is another addition….He is about 2” high and a little heavy as a pin, so he can fit in a cubby/pocket of a shadow box.
The next 3 horses are new additions. Approximately 5” tall….
This little guy above is for sale at Shemer Art Center.
