More Wee Gifts

The fairy village is still at The Gates in Brighton and I think the little guests will be staying until mid-November.

Seeing at faeries do not like to be indebted to anyone, they have been repaying their hosts by hiding gifts for supporters of the Brighton Arts Council. Here's a few of the latest items to be found at the site...

I wonder what those cheeky things might leave next? ;)

The Gallery is Haunted

I'm all set up over in the gallery at Impresario Artisan Market in Cobourg. The "Abandoned House" looks pretty damned cool all backlit and alone on the rear wall.

 

I'm foregoing the arty 'Opening Night' thing because it terrifies me that no one would come and I'd stand around like a flipping idiot talking to myself, and instead I'll be doing an informal tea leaf reading workshop. This way, if no one comes out to play at least I'll have tea and cookies :P

So, if you're interested in that sort of thing, want to check out the art, give me a hug, tell me a joke, high-five or something, hop over to Impresario on Saturday, October 27th between 1pm and 3pm.  Here's the shop linky... impresariomarket.ca

Germs and bottles

Note: This will be the first of three posts today. I tried to jumble them together but it just made for a really long and crazy sort of post...

Holy, flipping, smokes.

I've been sick for what seems like forever and those damned germs have derailed all of my crafty intentions over the past 2ish weeks. I did managed a blog post last week but realized after an hour that it was too damned depressing and took it down. Anyway, I'm slowly on the mend now and will be covered in glue and glitter in no time at all.


Speaking of glue and glitter...

Alpha Stamps latest swap? Potion Bottles! Use some fabulous chunky chipboard cutouts, embellish, send! Hop on over and join in the fun. Here's one that I made.

All that fuss!

I've found out what all the fairy fussing has been about!

Today an exciting discovery was made at our local arts and culture centre, The Gates.

It seems that the president of our arts council inadvertently invited the wee folk to visit the centre when he mumbled something one afternoon seven and three quarter weeks ago last Tuesday.

A quick look at the abandoned and over-grown mini-golf course next to the gallery revealed that they've made themselves quite at home...

I wonder what sort of mischief they'll cause during their stay :P

Feelin' Lucky

Okay, not really, because Lucky is a person and that would be inappropriate.

Rebecca, over at Impresario Artisan Market, held her grand opening last week and Lucky Jackson was there showing her work. Lucky has just finished an impressive embriodery feat, finishing 365 pieces, in one year. Her work is wonderful, vibrant and quirky. It's full-o-joy and something special and she's super nice too.

Check out Lucky Jackson's ETSY • WEB • 365 LUCKY DAYS

If you're ever near Cobourg, you really should stop in at Impresario. I'm telling ya, if etsy had a retail store this would be it. Rebecca has done such a great job of filling the place with fine Canadian contemporary crafts and art. Hop over to 37 King Street West, Cobourg if you can... and if you come in October you can take a gander at my silly things which will be in the gallery for October ;)

Another discovery!

I went to the back lawn this morning to have a nose around those little tents I stumbled upon the other day and they were gone. There's not a trace of those little folk or their wee campsite (except for a few extra toadstools).

As I went to the far back corner of our lot to gather some pinecones I did make another discovery.

Another camp site, this one made up of wee-tee-pee's! Unlike the last camp these were well hidden from view beneath a large pine tree.

I do wonder what they are up to.

The coven is complete

I've finished up the last of my collaged witches. Here they be...

The last one is my favourite. Probably because it reminds me a bit of how I see my own self. Just an ordinary girl who happens to be a witch. I'm sure there's a lot of us out there ;)
