I Love My Hearse!!

I have a hearse, I call her Banshee. You can see her and her stats on the Edmonton Bone-Wagon Association website:

Having a hearse is wonderful; you can put Ikea furniture in it, have a tailgate party, put tons of Halloween props in it, and get every kind of look imaginable from people as you drive by.
She drives like a dream and I love to dress up in Victorian Goth or some other style when I drive her.

Incarnations Display At Stanley Milner Art Gallery

I was fortunate enough to be chosen in 2012 to display my art at the Stanley Milner Art Gallery in downtown Edmonton, Alberta. It is situated inside the main library branch.
I was allowed so many pieces and they had to fit in acrylic cubes. My theme was Whimsy, Wonder and Women. 
The majority of the pieces were gothic and dark themed so they chose to put me in the October month slot. Which really was perfect!! They were there for the whole month and had some very good reviews. I was also asked to do a workshop in Mixed Media Collage but October is my busiest month of the year and I had to decline the offer. Now I need to find a new gallery to display my work because I am running out of storage space at home!
Here are the pics from the gallery:

Store Windows

Paris and Venice have some incredible store windows. Their displays are amazing. I had to take pictures of some very compelling ones, although none of the store owners there like you to take pictures of the windows. Too bad, right?





This photo and the one above are from Attilio Codognato's store. I can only pray that one day I can afford to buy 1 tiny little piece of his jewelry. I think his creations are incredible.





Photos from Paris


I was in Paris in June 2011 with my sister Corey. I loved the architecture and most of the food. Pére La Chaise Cemetery was my all time high for cemeteries and I love to do cemetery photography. Here are some cemetery pics, some of which are also on my new website:

Halloween 2010

Had a very busy October because of volunteer work at The Sands Hotel Tour of Terror Goes To The Movies. I had a room that was based on the movie 30 Days of Night. There were other functions and activities taking place in October and the hearse club travelled down to Red Deer, Alberta to see the ZED99 Haunted House. That was an excellent venue. Another great Halloween haunt was The Haunted Hike in Sherwood Park, Alberta. Here are pics of my house and these other venues:

October Is Here













I have gothic cameo jewelry at Karries Kostumes in St. Albert, Alberta, just in time for Halloween. The staff bought up most of the stock so I am waiting for supplies to replentish it ASAP. The pretty OOAK red angel cameo necklace is sold. Some of the cameos are pendant/brooches with a necklace loop and pin on the back. Others are lockets with large areas for pictures or secret objects.
So check out Karries Kostumes for beautiful Halloween items, costume rentals, dance supplies, and makeup!

Slow Down At the Art Factory

I haven't been doing my mixed media art as of late because I have been involved so much with making jewelry. I am thinking of selling it on Etsy.com. I have been making necklaces and pendants and earrings. Pictures will be taken very soon and posted on here along with my Facebook page.
There is quite a bit of it so I need to think out the best way of presenting it. I am not stopping my mixed media stuff, it just has to be organised and my poor house cleaned up. It looks like an episode of Hoarders. I have to figure out where to start. I'm a very bad housekeeper and sales person. I guess that's because I'm an artist.

Christmas In The City Artisan Show




































































These are pictures from the "Christmas In The City" show in Edmonton, Alberta. There were approximately 10 artisans who submitted their art. The show took place in November and parts of December 2009. I was one of the artisans and my Victorian mixed-media art pieces are framed on the walls.
