First Friday -- Studio 215 Featured Artist, Caleb Rocha

Today I'm working on a few custom pieces (must be Mother's Day gifts), and enjoying sipping on my coffee, and having the studio to myself to listen to The Vandellas as loud as I please.

I suppose at some point I'll have to start the epic cleaning required before First Friday tomorrow, but until then I'm going to enjoy this.

By the way -- because tomorrow IS First Friday, I'm proud to welcome Caleb Rocha as my first featured artist!!  He's going to bring some of his prints, and I think there's a possibility he might bring a sculpture.  Stop by my studio on the second floor, #215 (follow the Chicago flag signs!) and see what's up, tomorrow night.

These are some of his pieces that I especially love.

It finally feels like Spring!

This weather is terribly distracting.  Yesterday I wore shorts.  Shorts!

But despite the glorious weather calling me away from my desk, I've held steady and been hard at work.  I've got some new map pendant necklaces up in the shop, including a few Mexican cities.

I've also got a few new designs rolling out

for Spring (hello, Mother's Day!)

Botanical Drawing Pendant Necklace

for Summer (sailing on Lake Michigan!)

Nautical Anchor Compass Pendant Necklace

and, some just because.

I'm looking forward to being part of my third RAW Artists showcase, this time in Milwaukee, as well as my first of five monthly Randolph Street Markets -- May is going to be a busy month, in the best way possible!  :)

Randolph Street Market Season Pass Giveaway!!

So I've never done a giveaway on my own blog, and to be honest with you, I'm not even completely sure how this works... but, seeing as how I'm going to be poppin' shop at the Randolph Street Market this season, I thought it would be fun to giveaway a season pass.

Yes, I said season pass, so that's a value of $100!

It's good for two people, to every show this season (May-September).  Because this is a Chicago-based market, I'm going to have to keep it all in the family, so unfortunately this is for local residents only (anyone in the Chicago IL/Indiana area who can actually use the pass for all or most of the shows).  If you want to enter on behalf of a friend, and have it shipped to an address in the Chicagoland area, that's cool too.  :)

The giveaway ends on 03/23/2013 at midnight.
