Promotional Material

I am very happy to announce that promotional material for Speirs Art is in the works. A truly adoreable friend of mine, Kiks, has agreed to provide her incredible graphic artist skills. I am anticipating this happening before the fall.

In other news, I am moving to a new apartment! This new place has a fabulous and large room available for an art studio. I cannot wait to fill it with a giant work bench, shelves, easles and chalkboard paint. My partner, Scott and I have decided that we will not be requiring cable tv, as it serves as a distraction to all the potential we can achieve. Therefore I could not be more thrilled to see what kind of creativity can be nurtured at this new place!



My next piece, which I am going to start working asap, is going to resemble an antique crazy quilt.

I cant wait to get started! I will be visiting the local fabric store this afternoon to see what kind of scraps I can locate.
I went antique-ing this past sunday and found an adoreable black and white victorian shot of two children, I plan to incorporate this somehow in the piece.
Love,
Rachael

You old bag

I do enjoy old tooled leather handbags.

I have two art showings coming up and I am presently on the hunt for a very inexpensive tooled leather handbag moreso like this:

But not so nice man. I am hoping to find one on its LAST leg so I dont feel so bad when I rip it apart and sew the ragged and stiff leather to a canvas...it must be what Mickey Rourkes' plastic surgeon feels like...........zing!

So SAWreee

Good morning feather-lovers!


My recent trip to Mackinac Island in Michigan, brought about a surge of inspirational love for all things rustic-horse-moccasin related. One of the kitchey tourist shops had these bad-boys for far less than I would pay in ye ol Canada:

I was also inspired by tacky paintings of deer on sawed log disks and it got me thinking about my next art project. It looks like my lovely partner Scott has some wood chopping in store for him at the Scottage in a couple weeks.
