Artist Jenny Elkins & Chemist Ed Angleton

The Angleton's came to Louisville this weekend. I forced Jenny to go thru my home studio and help me de-clutter by taking stuff! Would not let her leave until her car was loaded to the roof.

Jenny is such a talent. As a collage artist, she uses everything! So I was only too happy to have my beloved stuff go to a good home. Currently she is making some mixed media jewelry, that is so cool! You can find her at her Etsy store.

The "A" Team

Kent, Susan, and Rick are standing in front of building "A" because my store was so full of customers for my Big-Ass Store Closing Sale. I'll be open only 5 more Saturdays. Official Closing August 1,2011. But don't fret....you will still be able to come to my "much larger" home studio and I will be doing more local and regional art shows now that I will be free of store retail hours!

Thank You For Making My Big Ass Sale a Success

I'll be open Saturdays 11-4. The sign out front says 25% off but really I am taking 50% off everything in my store until it is all gone. Over the past 7 years I have managed to accumulate a bunch of stuff.

Sign up on my e-mail list. I will be having two Big-Ass Open Houses at my home studio. One in December before Christmas and one Late April before Derby.

Big Ass Fan / Justine Dennis

This year Marcie the promoter of Francisco's Farm Art Show took weather matters into her own hands and hired "Big Ass Fans" to keep the outdoor Art Show cool and comfy.

To promote this venture she sent "Big Ass Fannies" to all the artists to art up if they want. I suspect there is a contest!!! I am sick that I will not be at the show this year I love this sort of project.

Here are some of my faves. Go to Francisco's Farm Art Show in Midway, Ky this weekend and vote on your favorite fannie.

This one is by Justine Dennis one of my Fave fiber artists.

Lady Fra-Ga / Jamison Brumm

Detail of Lady Fra-Ga, Jeweler Jamison Brumm's Fannie. I hear she has some pretty awesome heels on! Rock On With Your Bad Self!

Big Ass Fan / TR Reed

I am already a big ass fan of artist TR Reed. His style translates perfectly to Fannie.

FAT Friday Trolley Hop Big Ass Sale @ My Store

My lease will be up soon and it is with regret that I have to give up my store. I have been at Mellwood Arts Center for the past 7 years. I am sorta slow because it has taken me this long to realize that I am only one person. My art shows require me on the weekends and so does my store. Although, I have found great people to help run my store... I need to let it go...So come on out to the Trolley Hop tonight I'll be having a Big Ass Sale.

The action begins 6-9. See you tonight!
