Weekend Tidbits:finishing my Trinity Pixie painting and a look at Dayzee love creations

This weekend was blissfully uneventful- sometimes you need those in order to find a balance.<br /><br />Our only obligation for the weekend was on Saturday: to open up and watch our friend Tiffany's Gallery, <a href="http://www.truthartspace.com/"><strong>T.Ruth Artspace</strong></a>, since she is till recovering from illness. We made the best of the day by setting up a couple tables along the gallery front on the sidewalk and sold some of our creations. I love sidewalk sales.<br />I also managed to put the final touches on a acrylic painting i have been working on:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4803678096/" title="Fae- Work in Progress by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Fae- Work in Progress" height="335" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4076/4803678096_93156c47fa.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />This is the Trinity Pixie- named after her strange balance of 3 eyes. I spent about 3 hours going over her in the gallery adding more highlight and shadow/correcting shape and so on ( in this photo she was still an hours worth or work away from being finished.) Today when i get home from work i hope to sign her and coat her in a protective gloss varnish then she will be all done. I will be displaying her along with some of my other paintings next month inside the Guerrilla Gallery, curated and run by Olin and the <a href="http://www.guerrilla-media.com/"><strong>Guerrilla Media artist collective</strong></a> based in Vancouver WA ( i love those folks!) I will have more on that as the date draws nearer.<br /><br />I also wanted to share an etsy artist and friend with you: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DayzeeLove?ref=seller_info"><strong>DayzeeLove</strong></a> creations<br />She is a UK based etsy seller whom i met via Chat on one veryyy slow day.<br />I recently had ordered a pair of custom made clip on earrings from her and she had sent me some extra goodies along with them and i liked them so much!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4803668260/" title="DayzeeLove hair clip by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="DayzeeLove hair clip" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4803668260_e4d0810a4d.jpg" width="335" /></a><br />....they are called "Purple Skeleton Leaf Glass and Antique Bronze Bobby Pins with Silver background."<br />see her actual etsy store listing for these <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/49133107/purple-skeleton-leaf-glass-and-antique"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong><br />...her creations are very hard to resist for those who are generally entranced by shiny things :P<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4803664250/" title="DayzeeLove hair clip and earings by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="DayzeeLove hair clip and earings" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4803664250_f6bf3a6b55.jpg" width="335" /></a><br />and a close up for you:<br /><img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.155937893.jpg" /><br />Here is a shot documenting the lovely "Green and Purple Skeleton Leaf Glass Earrings" that she made into clip ons for me since i dont have my ears pierced. Check out her shop listing for them <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50785616/green-and-purple-skeleton-leaf-glass"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br />I love etsy and the community of hands on, hand made enthusiasts and artists. Its a very good thing to have a hub such as this site where other artists can mingle and connect from all around the world with each other- sharing inspiration and helpfull tips. And even though i have my own shop on etsy i think its karmatically good to buy from another etsy shop now and again- we have to support eachother!<br />Speaking of <a href="http://www.lucidopticlab.etsy.com/"><strong>my etsy shop</strong></a>, its been awhile since i have uploaded anything new so i will have to make a point this week to do so. However i currently have over 100 art creations for sale including original paintings, art prints, screen printed shirts, tie dye and much more so take a glance into the shop if you are curious.<br /><br />So yes, hello to a new week.<br />Much love to all,<br />-Chelsea Rose
