Bright New Florals for Spring

Welcome back to my origami blog for 2019!

I’ve been working with some bright new floral papers and pretty beads, including crystals, which I hope you’ll enjoy.  I think we all need a touch of spring right now after such a long winter.

Our first show for 2019 will be the UW-Washington County Festival of Arts in West Bend on Saturday, April 6, 2019, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It’s always an enjoyable show, with friendly people and high-quality crafts for sale.  The event also features a student artwork competition with young artists from more than 25 area middle and high schools. The student artwork will be professionally judged, with an awards ceremony at noon.  Various seminars and musical performances will take place throughout the day.  I look forward to seeing you there, or perhaps at one of our other fairs later in the summer.  The venue is at 400 S. University Drive, West Bend, Wisconsin.

I’ll publish the rest of our (tentative) 2019 schedule in another post.

Again, I want to apologize for the ads which may appear for some viewers.  I don’t have control over them.

About the ads….

It has come to my attention that advertisements sometimes appear for certain viewers of this blog.

My blog is hosted by a free service called WordPress. This service says it sometimes posts ads “to help pay the bills.”

While I understand that WordPress has expenses to meet, I want my viewers to know that I do not have control over these ads, and that I do not select nor endorse any of these advertisers or their products or services. Thank you for understanding.

2018 Art and Craft Fair Season

 

 

Hello Everyone!

We’re excited to announce the start of our 2018 Art and Craft Fair Season!

Most of our applications are still pending.  So far, we are pleased to say that we will be attending the UW Washington County Festival of Arts in West Bend, Wisconsin on April 14.  It’s always an enjoyable fair with a very friendly atmosphere.

We have done a lot of traveling since my last post—hence, the travel-themed cranes shown above.

I’ve acquired many new styles of paper and beads since last year and have started working on some colorful and different creations. If you’ve been to our booth before, you’ll see some new paper designs this year.

As usual, we look forward to seeing craft-fair friends this year and meeting new ones.

Online sales

I’m often asked whether I sell my origami online. I regret to say that I do not presently sell from my website. There are several reasons. The most important of these is that I want my patrons to see exactly what they are getting—true daylight color, paper texture, quality of the work, etc. when they make a purchase. Secondly, I really enjoy talking with my customers and making the experience a personal interaction rather than just a ‘sale’. Finally, I travel frequently and would not want to disappoint people by not filling their requests promptly.

My work is available at craft shows (see 2015 schedule below) and also at the Pink Llama Gallery on Washington Avenue in Cedarburg, Wisconsin.

Thank you for your patronage, and I hope to see you at a future show.

2015 Art and Craft Fair Schedule

 

Summer is finally here! It feels like a long time coming.

 

These colorful origami flowers, called Kusudama, are new for 2015.  Each of the five petals is folded from a separate piece of paper.  The petals are then glued to

each other and to the stem.

WAAC Exhibit and Sale

For those of you who will be in the Madison area, the Wisconsin Alliance of Arts and Craftspeople will be having an exhibit and sale at the UW Hospital during the month of February, 2014. I am proud to announce that two of my works will be on exhibit and available for purchase. Part of the proceeds from the sale go to the hospital art fund, which is used to purchase art for the hospital’s permanent collection. The public is welcome to attend and purchase artwork from a wide range of talented Wisconsin artists and craftspeople.  The artwork will be exhibited primarily in the surgical waiting room.
