Art Walk

Featured Artist – like they’re talking about someone else. I’ve been Mark’s Mom. Nicki’s Mom. MRI Tech. The boss. The chauffeur of Mark and Nicki. The daughter. The wife. And now The Artist!

Tomorrow-Friday February 22- I get to have my art in a new display. It’s featured every day at Whatcom Art Market of course. It took me months to not laugh at the idea of being an artist.

Now I’m excited to show my Petals as Paint and other creations – candles, collages, and magnets to people out enjoying a cold evening strolling around one of my favorite places – Fairhaven in Bellingham WA.

So happy to be at Sweet Bellingham, a bakery in town that has the most inspired edible creations! What a fun opportunity to meet people who are out having fun! Homemade marshmallows anyone??

I meet people all day every day who are hurting or suffering in my normal job. This will be a great change to see people buying candied apples and cookies, baking supplies and candies. Thank you Sweet Bellingham for letting me set your tables with tiny easels and candles and to hang and display my art!

For all the locals come on out tomorrow night! Head to Sweet Bellingham and Whatcom Art Market. And thanks to Fairhaven Art Walk for giving local artists an opportunity to share our passion with the community!

Sweet Valentine – Free

I have three Refind Valentines to give away.

These are each unique and might make somebody very happy! You could get a little easel to hold one. They are each 6″x8″.

They will be Free at Whatcom Art Market this coming weekend. While they last. You will find them on the shelf in my space. Come and get one for some nostalgic sweetheart. Each one comes with a wrapper of beautiful embossed paper. You can add a ribbon to hold it in place.

Number One:

Porcelain tile – with a transfer of an original 1907 Postcard. It features young lovers sitting in a park. I’ve added a few flower petals and elderberry blossoms and covered in an acrylic medium. It’s like looking into the past – not clear and crisp but faded like a memory. The postcard has a note on the front: “Don’t this couple look sweet? I did not suppose you had the courage to have your photo taken in such a position”.

Number Two:

Porcelain Tile with a dry rub transfer of a postcard dated 1916. A red heart says “I’m looking for a Valentine”. Again I have embellished with petals and added sparkles and acrylic. It becomes opaque like a memory.

Number Three

is a porcelain tile with a dry rub transfer of the cover of a book from 1880 based on the very old song “Home Sweet Home” – written in the early 1800s. A sweet girl sitting in the porch of a tiny cottage. “Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home”. And of course I embellished with dried flowers and opaque acrylic to show the distant past that belongs to every generation.

Happy Valentines Day! If you take one please please please post on here or on my Facebook page or tag me on Instagram @refindcreations33

Works in Process—Lilies of the Field

I’m inspired to play in the petals for a few more weeks before turning back to working on my novel idea and waiting for my palette to be refilled with fresh “paints”!
Here’s what’s in process right now … along with a few more 4×4 Christmas themed tiles coming up next.


So fun!

This one looks like the beginnings of Christmas ornaments dangling.

Sunflowers for Sale

Thank you to all the people who’ve put a little sunflower in their lives!
The most recent went to my very nice friend Nancy, who stopped by the Whatcom Art Market and rescued one for her beautiful garden… or maybe for inside her home as a reminder of her garden as the days shorten and the seasons change!
I love their whimsical styling. These are a Refind of fishing cork, pine cone scales, acorns, upholstery tacks, antique lighting pieces and stems made of iron pipes.

Refind Refind

I did it! I spent all afternoon taking down everything in my space at Whatcom Art Market and completely redesigning it to feature Art Inspired by Nature– almost every piece is made from or inspired by flowers from my garden and others.
On the right I installed an antique door to use as a feature piece to display door-decor! It will change with the seasons to make a centerpiece display. Since autumn arrives this week I decorated the door with garlands of artificial leaves and sunflowers to highlight several door decor items I created.
Center of the door has cork and architectural pieces from antique doors and drawers.
To the left of the door are two more corks and roses themed with antique door hardware acting as a vase holding dried roses.
In front of the door is an antique milk can filled with garden stakes — sunflowers made of cork, pine cone scales and vintage lighting fixture pieces. There are a couple old cupboard doors as well. One is Birchwood and the other autumn leaves.
In the center of the space I’m featuring ceramic tiles hand”painted” with flower petals in various designs. Another highlight is a framed elderberry flower in reflection. And finally one of my favorites– paper doll dresses flanked with matching flower petals. So far there is blue hydrangea, yellow orchid, and pretty pink petals.
On the left I have the postage-paid postcards, a few palette clipboards, and a new item — 4×4 ceramic tiles covered in various petals or handmade paper cutouts – a magnet on the back to decorate your refrigerator if you like.
I feel blessed to have this opportunity to participate in a vibrant art market and guild with so many talented people surrounding me and encouraging me!
Stop by if you’re out and about in Fairhaven and see what catches your eye!

Grateful

I just returned from vacation and stopped by the Whatcom Art Market to pick up my commission for August. I was humbled, shocked, dismayed and grateful for sales over $400! As I approach the one year anniversary of Refind Creations I am so happy that the ideas, inspirations, and pure love of Refinding has been blessed by God! All glory to Him who inspires me with his designs and lets me have so much fun! Thank you to all who took time to shop in our local Art Market.

Progress

These are ready for leaves, stems and “planting instructions” — two large, two medium and two small Sunflowers made of vintage cork, pine cone scales and acorns. They will be finished with antique lamp parts and iron bars or metal poles for garden stakes. Refind Creations – designed by me, inspired by creation – the art of nature.
