I am your Fan Friday!

Congratulations Campbell Jane! 

I have talked many times before about my Favorite Artist, Campbell Jane . Well, tonight she is having a gallery opening at the City of Fremont Olive Hyde Gallery in Fremont. I absolutely have to be her biggest fan and I just love the paintings and art work that she does.  Here are a  few of my favorite pieces that she has done. I hope you enjoy them too.

To be honest, I could probably list everything ( almost) she paints, but what would be the fun in that. If you would like to see more though, Her blog is Folk Art by Campbell Jane and her work is for sale in her Etsy shop. Sometimes I go see what she is painting or making just to get myself motivated to renounce laziness. Not really, but I do wonder sometimes if I could keep up with her if given a chance.
Stop by her blog and shop whenever you can, you are sure to find something that sparks your interest, or just slams your funny bone.

Feeling Creative?

This seems to be one of those weeks that I just want to make something. Usually it doesn't turn out as pretty as the idea I had when I started, but sometimes I get lucky.This week it was a pair of earrings with a royal blue lampworked bead, mixed with white freshwater pearls and gold beads. They dangle just the right length and are pretty comfortable. I have never been one to wear much jewelry but for some reason a few months ago, I decided I would learn to make it. It seems to have a steep learning curve for me, but I don't give up easily.
I have fed this artsy mood ( really kind of unusual for me) by searching out artists and paintings, Jewelry designers and designs and performances that I really just enjoy. One such artist is Campbell Jane. She paints the prettiest angels and mermaid angels and the most magical trees I have seen in a long time. You can see her work at www.campbelljane.etsy.com and she has a great blog too. www.folkartbycampbelljane.blogspot.com Check it out and you will see what I am talking about. I haven't seen one of her paintings that I didn't like. Campbell Jane's paintings touch your heart in unexpected ways. It is something I didn't notice at first, but later I can't quit thinking about. They just make you feel happy when you look at them.Some are whimsical and some are not. All seem to have their own special quality. It may be different for everyone.
As for performances, My son's school put on their spring musical program tonight. Don't you know the kind of programs that mom's love and dad's get dragged to kicking and screaming. LOL My son didn't have a part, but I went to watch my friends children perform. It was such a treat. You can tell immediately which children God designed to be entertainers.

When I get a little braver, I will list some of my jewelry in my etsy shop. Until then you just need a little imagination.
