Sunday, May 31, Handmade Mart in Silver Spring




In the studio here in Woodley Park - tons of new work! Getting ready for my first indie art show next Sunday in Silver Spring, Maryland. I'm having sooo much fun working with recycled & re-purposed materials for mounting my collages, photographs and mixed media pieces. I've salvaged decorative wood substrate backings from old houses in Lewes and Washington - - and even from the old interior of Eastern Market on Capitol Hill. More info on the show can be found here:

Handmade Mart is May 31, 2009, 10am-5pm Ellsworth Drive (Between Fenton Ave. and Georgia Ave.) Downtown Silver Spring. Powered by the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, the Handmade Mart will host more than 50 independent crafters for a unique shopping experience along the bustling Ellsworth Drive in Downtown Silver Spring. Along with an awesome array of craft vendors, the Handmade Mart will also feature a full day of live indie rock, and hands-on workshops at the Pyramid Atlantic Store. http://handmademart.blogspot.com/ for vendor interviews and a link to their facebook page. Hope to see you there!

Recycled Wood Photoprints on ArtsyRubbish

montmartre, paris, www.cherielester.etsy.com





Thanks to Tess for the mention on her blog - http://www.artsyrubbish.com/ . Her fantastic blog includes art pieces created using upcycled, recycled and repurposed materials. Shown are my mini photoprints on wood - wood I've salvaged, cut, sanded and re-used as a substrate for the mini photos and collages. They are so fun to make and were a great project last November.
