Creative Metal Arts Guild – Portland Oregon

cmagThis year instead of doing Ceramic Showcase, I will be in the Portland Convention Center the same weekend, but in a different show selling my jewelry.

Creative Metal Arts Guild or CMAG is a guild of metal workers who put on a terrific show filled mostly with jewelry but also metal sculpture and demonstrations.

I will have a booth here and would love it if you stop by and say hello. I am not even planning on bringing pottery and stuffing it under my booth to sell on the side. There will be no mini-bird houses…….aaaaahh!!

OK, I am going to try to put some mini-birdhouses on Etsy, so that they are available right before the show.  I have enjoyed so much love at the Ceramic Showcase show over the years. It is truly hard to make a move like this. But, I do love adventure.

Hope to see you, Holly

Lithia Artisan’s Market

I will be showing pottery and jewelry at this event.

Stop by my booth and say hi.  Some may be pleasantly surprised to see that I have mini birdhouses and my sunflowers available for the first time this year.

If you would like to start off your christmas season with some sparkle or just can’t wait to get that warm christmassy feeling…it is really nice to come out on friday evening to see the parade, watch the town get lit, then wander into our little oasis for hot drinks, music and shop the hand-made crafts.  See you there, Holly

Mabe Pearl Earrings

Mabe Pearl Earrings

If these look gigantic, that’s because they are! My friend had been hanging onto these spectacular Mabe pearls for many years and saw my ceramic earrings and thought it would finally be the perfect setting for these spectacular gems. Mabe pearls have mother of pearl attached on the back,  so I did a bezel setting  on both sides. I will have to keep my eye out for more sets so that I can add them to my booth.

Seconds at Last

Small cups built from slab

Tankers

I found some more seconds packed away and have them on display at the Ashland Artist’s Emporium in Ashland Oregon.  If you have not been down there, I have been calling this my seconds outlet. While developing my latest line of pottery…well, there were some difficulties. These latest pots are small hand built cups, lots of them have dogs and cats and are going for around 3 to 9 bucks, while they last.
