Boreas- Lisa Congdon

The fantastically talented, Lisa Congdon has a show opening at Assemble in Seattle on March 11th.  See you there!

hey, ho, let's go!

I am so excited to go out of town for a few days. I have mentally checked out for the most part so being here is kinda hard. Let's talk about how awesome this year's Bazaar Bizarre at Maker Faire is going to be.

I am excited to see Claire of Chickenpants fame again.



I am excited to meet Cathy Pitters whom is also in Fiber Arctic.

I am looking forward to seeing Diana Fayt whom I had a drink with last summer when Lisa Congdon was in town for an art show.



And I am really excited to see the work by My Imaginary Boyfriend. I love the name and all the work! I hope there is some trading action on Sunday so I can get a lot...so much to choose from!

Next Friday, I am pleased as punch, to announce our next show goes up with some fantastic artists! And they will be here! yay!!!

We will have the uber talented Ashley Goldberg here. I love Ashley's work a lot so I am really excited. I am also so happy that she has recently moved to Portland so she will make it up for the show to hang out and drink beer with her fans...do you drink beer Ashley?

Mark Hundley of Bisbee Stitches fame will also be here the same night. Plush and prints. Yahooo. I got to meet Mark in NYC in Dec. and I knew the guy would be awesome. And he is. Super nice, makes amazing plush and has a big fan club here at Schmancy. It is going to be a fantastic evening so please come by.

Then the following night Lisa Congdon will be showing at Velouria in Ballard. It's going to be a fun filled art/nice people weekend.
