• Colored Pencil Sculpture, & Live drawing Tomorrow!

  So, I haven’t been so very bloggy this week, due to some fabulous misadventures in Maine, and the fact that the gallery was trying to steal my soul. Four workdays standing around for no good reason makes Annie a very grumpy girl.

  I did make friendly with a new artist, though. Her name is Jen Maestre, and we have a few things in common: we both went to MassArt, we both like making stuff out of unexpected and unconventional materials, and her studio happens to be in the next town over from where I grew up (and i’m invited to go visit, squeee!). Oh, and she likes beadwork- and we all know i love beads- so there’s another thing. But anyways, her work blows my freaking mind. Check out this sculpture:

  

  Here’s her website. She also has an Etsy, where she sells these amazing jewelry pieces made out of laminated & sliced up colored pencils.

  

  Drool. Just drool. I bought a pair of earrings and rocked them in the gallery the other day. I think we might be looking into carrying her work now : )

  In other art news: TOMORROW IS MONDAY, AND YES, I AM DOING ANOTHER LIVE PAINTING! I noticed some people were bummed last week because they missed some of the action, so I wanna make sure you all know when to check in and see what I’m up to. I’ll be starting tomorrow at noon sharp, because I have a plan and I want to prepare a few things first.

  So see you all tomorrow : )
