First Friday and Photo Shoot!

Hello!The first weekend in July will be a busy one this year! Not only are we in the 4th of July Parade held on the 5th of July. On the 3rd we will be participating in the First Friday Art Walk here in Bemidji MN.  Basically, different businesses in town will host local artists to show their work in a self-guided art tour throughout the town. You can look at the Watermark Art Center website for more information on all the different locations and who else will be featured. The Least of These Boutique will be hosting us along with another artist. (whose name we don't know yet) Be sure to check out their facebook page!

And! We did fun photo shoot the other day to show off some of our armor pieces so be sure to check it out in our NEW photo gallery!

Thanks!

It was a busy and sleepless weekend but it is always worth it! Thank you everyone who stopped by and saw us at Holidays by Hand. We did better than the year before and are excited for our next show. (looking for one to do this spring) In the mean time we'll keep you updated on any new projects we work on. See you soon!

Holidays by Hand

A few nights ago I attempted to take these pictures inside in our living room and the lighting made everything look terrible. So, I stood outside in the cold today. And got good lighting so that you could see a few of the Holiday themed items we will have available at Holidays by Hand this Saturday! (9-4 at the Bemidji Boys and Girls Club)

44 days until Christmas!

I hate to add to all the holiday noise that is already out there...but we just got 2 inches of snow and it's really hard not to be thinking about what is coming up next! This last year we have taken a break from doing any art shows. John and I have just been working on getting some new ideas, and making plans for doing more are shows than usual this coming year. So, to get back into the game we decided to be a part of Holidays by Hand. It is being held in the Bemidji Boys and Girls Club on the 6th of December. There were a lot of really good booths there last year (lots of fudge!) and I am sure there will be more this time around.

I'll be posting pictures of all the seasonal items we have been working on soon.

As Promised....

Here are the pictures of John's stainless steel and bronze edged chainmaile shirt. (a.k.a Haubergeon) It weighs about 20 lbs. He is entering this shirt and a small bronze bracelet (which I did not get a picture of before he entered it) in the Watermark Art Center Member's show, here in Bemidji.
