Show of Handmade Valentine's cards This Friday!

 I found out through  My Facebook friend John about this little show of handmade valentines day cards at Black Radish gallery and custom frame shop in Village Gate.He had submitted some stuff and I having made lots of little Valentine day ACEO's wanted to submit a few.. so I submitted one necklace two ACEO's and one hanging valentine which sold! The Show titled "LOVE Spam focused on using old ads from the 1950's of Spam and that it was a "no waste food" That said, artist's were encouraged to use recycled materials and bits and pieces and scraps of things.... The cards ranged in media and materials some 1958 Wilton cake cardboard's were used, lots of magazine collage's some wonderful hand drawn images and lots of bikes and kitties as a theme. There was a heart with little cupid angels that made awesome use of Tootise Pop and earth Balance wrappers.

The cards are still available for purchase through  Tuesday so if you don't have you Valentine's day card yet and you are in Rochester stop by  Black Radish at Village Gate and pick one up!

Etsy treasury More "Happy Hearts"

 This is only the second time I ever made an etsy treasury. I am looking at valentine's day and wedding themes items as this them really is big in my brain for some reason this year.. I have so many ideas.. so many projects floating in there... I am also looking for items to make or give to friends and family for their upcoming weddings.

More "Happy Hearts"

Valentine's day it coming

 So I have been working on some new valentines day merchandise.

I have been decorating around my house... with Valentines day themed items. I admit in the past I called it "Hallmark holiday" I still think it exists largely as a commerical plea but if we make and give handmade items for valentines day this year then love wins and not companies who make in mass. C'mon,Who does not like the pleasing pallettes of pinks, reds, lace and hearts?

 So this Valentine's day don't give your money to Hallmark give it to me and know that your gift was made by hand with love by a person whose name is Susan!

I have been working on  seriesof wooden valentines. these are flat wooden shapes with mixed media art work on them and ribbon or cord to hang them.

I have also been working on a series of hanging paper heart decorations made with misprinted repurposed papers.
