<span style="font-size: large;">School reunions have never been a big deal to me. That small town I left in the rear view mirror seems like a million miles and a hundred years ago. But, the time has come around again, and (perhaps thanks to that pesky social media thing), I've found myself in touch with some of those long-ago classmates, and preparing to head back for the event. This Blue Devil blue candle box is to be a raffle prize.</span>Glassgrrl Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06972802869673171633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038481237240340016.post-75841885113426230882013-08-01T16:07:00.008-05:002013-08-01T16:07:56.412-05:00Vintage-inspired ephemera doll collage<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Still, art never stops, and Paseo Festival will be upon us again in a matter of days. I'm working up some new body painting designs, based on vintage illustrations. Photos here, when (if) they happen. Meanwhile, animal shelter fundraising art show is also fast approaching. While I expect to have a painting or two in the show, for now I've created these scrappy cats - inspired by the lovely creatures who have been discarded, but still have much to offer those fine people who are willing to give them a home.</span><br />

Now I'm conflicted when it comes to horse racing; the fantasy is beautiful and romantic, but the reality seems to get uglier every year, and knowing the things I know, I don't think I could bring myself to attend a race in person. However, when someone tells me there's a party with food, drinks, and lots of hats, how can I not be intrigued? I have rather a lot of hats, but they're mostly everyday flapperish affairs, or ringed, netted pillboxes passed down from my grandmother and grandmothers of strangers. Back in the winter, though, I had dropped $5 on a wide-brimmed felt hat at a vintage show, because it was something I didn't have, and it looked rather dashing. For this affair it seemed a bit underdone, so I scrambled around looking for some way to jazz it up, without turning it ridiculous. (It turned out there were nearly as many silly, over-the-top hats at the party as elegant and beautiful ones, but I didn't know that beforehand, and it mightn't have mattered, as I prefer not to look silly in a hat.) In the end, I put an old flowered hat over the crown, stitched it in place, and clipped a large purple feathery flower fascinator on the side, which doesn't show much in the picture. It was fun. It was a hot day, and I didn't know many people, but my pal Jeri and I had a good time nibbling from the hors d'ourve table, sipping wine and mint juleps, and engaging in people-watching.<br />

A few days later I realized my cutlery tray needed a good cleaning. Which led to a sorting of silverware, and a curiosity about all my mismatched pieces. That, in turn, led to getting out the readers and magnifying glass, finding an informative silver pattern website, and passing several hours researching the name and date of origin of my pieces. I even wrote them down, with descriptions and sketches, for future reference. From there I had to dig out the boxed silverware I'd inherited from my grandmother, probably never used. Though I don't know exactly when she received it, I do know it's the Community Plate Coronation pattern, designed in 1936 in honor of Edward VIII, who, of course, ended up abdicating the throne in order to be with his divorced, American lady friend.<br />

<br />
My digging around for silverware led me to a basement cupboard where I rediscovered a box of china I'd bought years ago from a wandering hippy at an art festival. (I was selling mosaic ware at the time, and she rushed home to bring me her box of mostly brown willow dishes, saying I could smash them up.) Brown willow doesn't appeal to me the way blue willow does, but the box also contained several tea cups, saucers, dessert plates, and small bowls of this sweet pattern.<br />

My submissions are in but whether you'll see them at the show depends upon the discretion of the jurors. Good thing you can see them here.<br />

It'll be great. I will be offering fresh new designs of the necklace and earring variety, for two hours only. (If you should have to miss, contact me for a private viewing, or take a peek in Istvan Gallery in case any remaining pieces end up there.)<br />

More in the performance art vein, mark your calendars for March 17 and 18, when Oklahoma City Museum of Art will be celebrating 10 years of its current incarnation in the heart of downtown OKC, with free admission, free movies (rumour has it "Zardoz" is amongst them. I know). Not to mention a plethora of fantastic activities all weekend long, including exotic professional face painting by yours truly. Take a look at OKCMoA's website for further details. This will be an event not to miss, despite the inconvenience of Project 180 making a mess of traffic and parking downtown.</div>

Have you seen "The Artist" yet? If not, what are you waiting for? I'm not one for the whole Oscar show-and-tell-and-show-off affair, but must admit this year the winning film deserved every bit of the honour. What a gorgeous, delightful, straightforward-yet-filled-with-subtlety treat it is. I won't say just how many times I've taken myself to the cinema to see it, but the last viewing remained as fresh and charming as the first. No, more so actually. </div>

In local news.....<br />
If you haven't purchased tickets for the amazing, annual fete known as the Omelette Party (Eggs Royale this year), what are you waiting for? No ticket sales the day of the party, only advance purchases allowed (something to do with staying on the right side of the ABLE Commission, which, though pesky, is probably still a good thing to do). It's one of the easiest ways to support our world class Oklahoma City Museum of Art; all the stylish, charming kids will be there, a wide array of talented chefs will be serving up fresh and made-to-order eggy creations, the JetSet Kings will be playing fabulous live music, and the open bar is like icing on the cake. But wait - don't answer yet, because as if all that weren't more than enough, you will also be entitled to purchase raffle tickets (very reasonably priced) allowing you to participate in the exciting art giveaway. Yes, that's right. There will be a gallery of stunning artworks ranging from painting to pottery to sculpture to furniture to who knows what else, all offered by the bestest and brightest of local artists. And every single piece of art will go home with some lucky party guests. Wowsers. I'm just sayin', if you miss this you'll be kicking yourself in the morning and beyond. <br />
It's next Saturday, Feb. 4, so you haven't much time to muck about. Visit OKCMoA's site for more info and to reserve your tickets, and I'll see you there!<br />

I made some Halloween-themed atcs for a swap (not this one though; it went to a personal friend), for which I never received anything in return; and from one participant, not even acknowledgement of my cards. If this is the way of swaps these days, they're not for me. </div>

Tony was in Tulsa for a PA convention, so I booked a charming 1920s oil baron's home turned into a B&B, for one night and joined him. We always enjoy Tulsa, it's visually stimulating. And the foliage was beautifully aglow with autumn colors.</div>

A few days after, I joined a local book club for their jaunt in a cemetery, experimenting with the "night portrait' setting on my camera. </div>

Looming deadlines, fresh opportunities, and a delivery of new art supplies all combine to stimulate creativity. While considering how to complete my piece for OVAC's big event, 12x12, I've begun toying with other ideas, just to see what happens.<div>This morning I played with this:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BMGSO1aGlxY/Tkld3YGMeVI/AAAAAAAAAjY/KzfEfWsAg4k/s1600/umbrella+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="365" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BMGSO1aGlxY/Tkld3YGMeVI/AAAAAAAAAjY/KzfEfWsAg4k/s400/umbrella+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div>Time will tell where it goes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s7JMsGU1yes/TklfU090q2I/AAAAAAAAAjg/xEjYHwcZi_g/s1600/atcs+fiber.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s7JMsGU1yes/TklfU090q2I/AAAAAAAAAjg/xEjYHwcZi_g/s320/atcs+fiber.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Is in any wonder, when the children demonstrated such creative vision?</div><div><br />
</div><div>As for body painting, most of my upcoming events are private, but you will be able to find me Sept. 17 at Oklahoma City Community College, for the LifeSaver 5k run. I'll be gone by 11 am, so make sure to come out early, have some exercise, enjoy the festivities, and get your body decorated for the weekend. </div>Glassgrrl Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06972802869673171633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038481237240340016.post-88502131010386556942011-07-26T11:42:00.000-05:002011-07-26T11:42:35.427-05:00Nearly Four Months.....Yes well, what is my defense? None really. Just doing stuff, and - since early June - trying to keep cool. This heatwave drought thing has long since lost its glamour, I can tell you. Back in the halcyon, mild days of spring, I painted an octopus on a face, and I liked it. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SEYmycZHhWY/Ti7sYlnIRdI/AAAAAAAAAiw/hqaEeLDuBPk/s1600/Paseo+2011+050.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SEYmycZHhWY/Ti7sYlnIRdI/AAAAAAAAAiw/hqaEeLDuBPk/s400/Paseo+2011+050.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And I visited the nymph fountain at Will Rogers Park. It's one of my favorites; I wish sculpture like this hadn't fallen out of favor, because it would be lovely to see more such creations as public installments. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IJXORuJKBBQ/Ti7s0-8XRHI/AAAAAAAAAi0/emUPnkP4PG4/s1600/fountain+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IJXORuJKBBQ/Ti7s0-8XRHI/AAAAAAAAAi0/emUPnkP4PG4/s400/fountain+1.jpg" width="350" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tony and I enjoyed a too-brief season of al fresco dining in our private Magnolia Room. *wistful sigh* Perhaps we can revisit it come autumn.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kzwR7jHtc6o/Ti7thYWgImI/AAAAAAAAAi4/ZvoSLkkEcjc/s1600/Junot+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kzwR7jHtc6o/Ti7thYWgImI/AAAAAAAAAi4/ZvoSLkkEcjc/s400/Junot+002.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There were also trips to lakes and rivers, the OKC zoo, an extensive and magnificent iris garden, and (of course) art. More very very soon....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

For a one-night show, the crowd was epic, and a great many pieces of art were sold.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kYU-CulhIZk/TZFPrlW91LI/AAAAAAAAAic/hlw2w5Qxz30/s1600/Sit+Stay+Art+033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kYU-CulhIZk/TZFPrlW91LI/AAAAAAAAAic/hlw2w5Qxz30/s400/Sit+Stay+Art+033.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Both my pieces sold, and I was more than happy to help the animals. Looking forward to the next one.<br />
<br />
There was also a quick jaunt to Kansas City with Jeri, to see the Parlotones and some snow. There was bowling at Red Pin, a Thunder Game, and some planning for the summer time.<br />
