So Many Social Networks, So Little Time...

Holy tomoly, I'm not sure I can keep up with just the social networks I belong to much less all of them.
Let's see - most recent is Twitter - you can see a little example in the sidebar to the right, after the "Upcoming Shows" listing.
I'm asking myself, "when will I find time to actually do anything to twitter about if I'm constantly updating on all these social networks?"
I've been on My Space for some time now. I just signed up for FaceBook today.
I've just discovered 2 new handmade market places:
ArtFire - Charges by the month for unlimited sales. Looks good.
and
1000Markets - Free to list, percentage of sales after the sale.
I've listed a few of my favorite pieces in each of these. I definately need to promote myself more.

My next show will be the PoBoy Fest - Sunday, November 23, 2008 noon to 6pm on Oak Street near Carrollton. If you are attending the silent auction benefiting the PoBoy Fest be sure to look for my special PoBoy Lamp Pull. I made it specifically for the auction. After getting a great response for that one I decided to make a few more for sale.

Getting Ready for the Holidays

Wow, I can't believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming upon us already. I'm having a hard time getting the mood started but I will. I've got some cool color combinations coming up. I will be making a few holiday specific pieces but I was thinking of going more with the colors of the season and making pieces that will go nicely after the holidays too.

Don't forget to bring your appetite to the PoBoy Fest -
New Orleans PoBoy Preservation Festival
Sunday, November 23, 2008 Noon to 6PM
Oak Street off Carrollton
That's the Sunday before Thanksgiving. C'mon and get your fill of eats, music and arts (and especially Flamework Glass *wink wink nod nod).

More shopping pleasures await you the Saturday after Thanksgiving -
Art Market of New Orleans presented by Arts Council of New Orleans
Saturday, November 29, 2008 10am to 4pm
Palmer Park - corner of S. Carrollton and S. Claiborne Aves.
as usual, the Arts Council has a spectacular day in store for us.

Till later - Flame On!

Donations to Charitable Auctions and Freret Market

I thought I'd post pics of some of the donations I'm making to some of the charitable organizations this festival season.
This one is for the PoBoy Festival - Sunday, November 23, 2008. I will also have a booth at this fest. This will be auctioned at the patron party the night before the festival.

From Donations

I'm calling it "Low Cal, Low Fat, Low Carb PoBoy" and it is. LOL It has been wired up to attach to a lamp/fan pull but I wired it on pure silver with Swarovski crystals so it will convert easily and nicely to a pendant.
This next one is simply "Red Fish" and it has been donated to the folks at Poydras Home to auction at their patron party on Friday evening, November 7, 2008. Red Fish is also wired up to hang as a lamp/fan pull and can easily switch jobs to a pendant.

From Donations

If you can't make it to the patron parties, please come and visit my booth at the art fairs. While no two pieces are ever the same, I often make more than one of a particular design.

You can find me this Saturday, October 4 12noon to 5pm at the Freret Street Market. My booth will be near the front of the community center just past Zeus' Place. Booth #64. I've made lots more of those candy corn earrings. And am lowering the prices on them to $18 a pair. I will take another $2 off for anyone mentioning reading my blog.
The next Art Market of New Orleans in Palmer Park is Saturday, October 25 10am to 4pm. It's the last market before Halloween and I've gots lots of Halloween baubles and have marked them all down. The offer of $2 off for anyone mentioning reading about the market in my blog will be valid then too.
Till later - Flame On!
