The variety in work will be marvelous for those who love real folkart: Braided and hooked rugs, fine handmade furniture, floorcloths, redware pottery,bandboxes, shaker boxes, carvings, traditional dolls, quiltwork, samplers, trampwork and much much more.
I've been quite busy with show prep over the last 2 weeks for my November shows.
That's why I haven't been posting here much.
Had to put my paints aside for the fiber-work.
I'm not sure what items I will be putting in the online show. We can only list one thing at a time. When that item sells, we can list something else.
So what do ya think? A bird, sheep or mouse pincushion?
A rabbit?
Hmmmmm... I just don't know.
If you like folk art, please be sure to mark your calendar for Oct 15th and follow the link I Will provide on that day.

Can't wait and can't help to pick an item for the sale. They are all wonderful. Maybe one that you have an extra of?
ReplyDeleteDonna, I've been picking through all the old filigree you sent me and have special plans for that gauzy like fabric,,, what a tutu that would make for a rabbit!
DeleteI JUST CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. Jeri Landers, you are beyond understanding, your PROLIFIC imagination and steady hands, HOW ON EARTH do you do what you do!
ReplyDeleteI gotta get one of these great pieces, as you know and as we discussed.....I will be in touch.
Anita, I just work all the time, that's all.
DeleteAnytime you want a special order I will be pleased to make it for you!
It's so difficult to pick just one example of your witty, skilled artistry. Even so, I think I would suggest the rabbit...perhaps it's the bonnet that is calling to me.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a treat to see the online shop, but so much better for the folks who will actually be able to go to the show. xo
Frances, Rabbits are the best sellers. Who can deny the charm of a hare in a top hat or rose covered bonnet?! Mice are second favorites.. I hope to get the chance to sell several things online. If not, they will travel with me to the shows in VA., Tn., N.C., and S.C..
DeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there
May, You CAN be there, this show is entirely online. Anyone from anywhere can purchase from the computer.
DeleteWill be looking forward to visiting the on-line site. All of your critters are adorable I would certainly be hard pressed to choose. Have a delightful day. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie I think there will be a nice variety of objects and prices, worth checking it out.
DeleteThey are all too cute..Love the bunny..Too bad you can only list one thing at a time...That will keep you busy!! Can't wait..
ReplyDeleteHi Missy, Don't know if it will keep me busy: this is the first time the site has had an online show so it's something of an experiment. If I sell even one item, I'll be pleased.
DeleteHi Jeri,
ReplyDeleteI say list the rabbit.. The last photo. She is just adorable! I love the way you have fashioned her bonnet and apron too, and the colors are so soft.
The first photo up makes such a GRAND statement! You my friend, are a true master of your art.
I wanted you to know I received your email and did reply. Maybe it landed in your junk mail.
I just knew you had been busy creating as always... Outstanding work!
fondly,
Penny
Thank you my dear Penny! I take your compliment with humility since it was you who first made me aware of Needle-felting with your wonderful creations. My table is covered in mohair bodies and woolen heads just now, what a mess of body parts I have to untangle!
