Patchwork Show-Long Beach

Here are some pictures of my booth at the Patchwork show. I had a great corner spot. These photos were taken before the wind picked up and started to blow everything over. I spent most of the show chasing cards across the parking lot and picking up my canvases. All in all though, it was an excellent day.

My lovely corner spot


Lots of product to sell


A rare shot of me in the booth


New collages for the show using type and vintage documents.

UniqueLA

Wow-so busy the last few weeks with 2 shows in a row. Here is my booth-actually just a table space-at UniqueLA. They provided the spot, a table and a chair. And I had to try and work some magic.
Here's my spot looking pretty sad.

Starting to unpack...

almost done...

Ceramic Bird


I found this little bird at the Long Beach Flea Market. There are no maker marks on it but I love the color and shape.
