Theme Camp [Persian Excursion] Backdrop

We needed a new backdrop for our theme camp tent this year, owing to a new structure housing it. Turns out Montana Paints makes an awesome line of spray acrylic paint - plus a dozen different nozzle tips that let you have fatter or thinner spray.

So I got to experiment on my BIGGEST canvas ever (actually a very heavy duty white cloth)!!!

Here it is on the floor, plus what I used for inspiration - I will have better pictures after the burn when I can get shots of it hanging up.

Art Car [Kwishee-Mahee] is coming together..

First light-up of the car - sound has been tested...this is going to look mighty awesome on the playa at night.

Playa Earring-Wear!!

We had such a good time at our fundraiser brunch for the Kwishee-Mahee Art Car selling my earrings, that I got inspired to get wilder with them. I didn't think there would be much market for them, but all of the tame ones stayed on the shelf, while the long, dangly ones LEAPT off them!

This latest pair I made last night I think is going to look very good on the playa (or in the club).

I still have stock if you want a pair, and fundraising pricing will hold through August 19th (50% or more off boutique retail). All proceeds go to funding our Cuttlefish Art Car.

I'm planning to bring my remaining stock to BM for photo-shoots on the playa! I want to see how awesome these look all dusty...

Learning to Frame My Own Work

I have been learning how to make my own float frames for my work. I wanted them to be more professionally presented and "pop" more.

This simple float frame was easy to do with the right tools and patience. I'm hoping to do more "in bulk" since the main time-sink is the setup (and waiting for glue, paint, varnish layers to dry). Doing more frames at once would be more efficient - and let's face it, I'd rather be painting!
