Art Making Marathon
Yep, I am stretching, getting all pumped up, and ready, because this week I am going the extra mile. I’m doing an Art Making Marathon in the Creativity Tribe Studio.
On the agenda: more wire dreamcatchers, a wire dragonfly, a few painted birdies, and some little paintings. …..and maybe a few other goodies! My sister-in-law, Erica Duff, has a new salon that blends her love of doing hair with her love of handmade art. Oh, and I can’t forget her love of all things feathered!
I few months ago I decked her walls out with some of my paintings, and now, for her first big event (a trunk show featuring fashions and accessories from Benjamin’s) she has invited me and a few of my favorite art chicas to join in the festivities!
I have spent the last year building my business with Amy and Charlotte as my creative comadres. We meet about once a month for tea, talk about the highs and lows of having creative businesses, show our art together at certain venues, and offer rich support for the solo-preneurial journey. Growing my business has been made extra special with their energy to help keep my flying.
Here are some goodies from the first day of my Art Making Marathon. It a great way to channel the incredible momentum that I have felt after attending Paint Mojo Texas and doing art everyday this month with AEDM2012.

The art-making marathon sounds fabulous. I kind of feel like aedm is like that for me.
Rachél
Absolutely, Patty! I am kicking it up a notch for a few days. I think I do art better that way…in intense sprints…then keep a steady pace in between.

Ooo….I love the idea of an art making marathon. I think I’ll have to do that in the very near future.
Oh, and I too am in love with all things feathered! <3

How wonderful to have some artist comrades. I cherish my artist friends and enjoy when I can get together with them and rally together for shows and exhibits.
