Practical Magic art show + New Tie dye + another body painting shot.

I just got the flyer for the Practical Magic Art gallery group show!!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4417614016/" title="Practical Magic Art Opening by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Practical Magic Art Opening" height="219" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/4417614016_99212a1a64.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br />I am very, very excited to be a part of this group show amidst some amazing local artists!<br /><br />Practical Magic<br />Coeur: Art<br />323 NW 6th- Portland<br />www.coeurart.com<br />April 2010<br />Opening First Thursday<br />6pm-10pm<br />Show runs through April 30th<br />Gallery Hours: Th, Fr, St 12-6pm<br />-------<br /><br />So up here in Oregon we have had a bizarrely mild winter, especially when compared to last year's snow blast. Spring seemed to have come early- all the trees are abloom and the bulb flowers have sprouted all over. Which was a bit of a wake up call telling us to" Get off your butts and get tie-dyeing!"....the fairs should be starting up soon and we need some fresh tie dye to hang in our booth.<br />So here are a couple new items:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4411610553/" title="Yellow Orb Sunrise by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Yellow Orb Sunrise" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2734/4411610553_25630f3dcf.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />Yellow sunrise tiedye blouse<br />on sale now for $20<br />click <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42153852"><strong>here</strong></a> to view the sale listing.<br />100% cotton<br />size: women's extra small<br />bust: 38"<br />waist: 34"<br />hips: 32"<br />.....I think this one is my fave from our new tie dye batch! i am very tempted to keep it for myself.<br /><br />and a tie dye dress:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4414198970/" title="Forest Nymph by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Forest Nymph" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4062/4414198970_d25ba75758.jpg" width="335" /></a><br />Forest Nymph tie dye dress<br />on sale now for $20<br />click <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42187807"><strong>here</strong></a> to view the sale listing.<br />100% linen<br />button up dress<br />with draw string in back for adjustability<br />women size small<br />Bust: 40"<br />waist: 42"<br />hips: 44"<br /><br />....we also ended up taking new photos of old tie dye. We felt some of the old tie dye would do better with higher quality images. i really think the new photos jazzed up the listings and more actuatly portrayed the individual tie dye awesomeness:<br /><br /><img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.128387744.jpg" /><br />Leaf Lite tie dye shirt<br />women small(S) 100% cotton long sleeve shirt<br />dyed with procion mx turquoise and yellow<br />34" chest<br />to view listing click <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34654461"><strong>Here</strong></a><br /><br /><img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_430xN.128374451.jpg" /><br />Turquoise Vortex tie dye<br />on sale for $20<br />to view listing click <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34578818"><strong>here</strong></a><br />women small(S) 100% cotton 3/4 sleeve V-neck shirt<br />dyed with procion mx turquoise and purple<br />40" chest<br /><br />.....now that i look at all of these together i realize, with disappointment, that they are all size small! We have so much tie dye in big sizes yet to be photographed and listed mainly because we don't have a live model to wear them for us! I will have to solve this problem soon so that we have a better variety of size items available. Bare with me!<br /><br />So we will be posting new tie dye at least once a day so keep checking out our shop for new tie dye goodies!<br /><br />Oh yes....and i wanted to share with you a body painting photo i drudged up last night and released:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4415588227/" title="Discovering Self by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Discovering Self" height="161" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2693/4415588227_c49c8de80e_m.jpg" width="240"></a><br />please click and full view!<br />(body painting and photography by Chelsea Rose<br />Model: Amata)<br />....i hope you guys are not sick of body painting yet because i have my next shoot coming up this weekend!<br /><br />Also, i just found out that i was written about in a HandMadeSpark.com article! Feel free to read it <a href="http://handmadespark.com/blog/sharing-in-progress-works/"><strong>here</strong></a>. Its written by a dear blogger friend <a href="http://studiomme.blogspot.com/"><strong>Studio MME</strong></a> about sharing artwork in progress with others!<br />So thats it for news right now.
