just made this banner and kind of finished up the information i'd needed to put up on etsy:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/SheMakesItAll (that's my etsy page :) ) the shop is open for business!

I'm really excited because I just got accepted into the HYPE show with 9 other artists, including my buddy, photographer, Kelsey Foster http://www.kelseyfoster.net/, http://blog.kelseyfoster.net/ (she's really quite impressive).
HYPE will be in the old Dallas Power and Light Building in the Cedars neighborhood of Dallas, DEC. 22, 8pm until midnight. I'll have some oldies and a new painting that I'm working on there, too. Yip!!!

Art Con 7 was this past weekend!! It was a really awesome experience and I really hope I can do it again next year. On last friday-the day each artist had to make their piece for the auction-I was in the 12-4 time slot, but I stayed until 7....so I painted for 7 hours, but, um, let's just say the difference between what I'd planned on making and what I actually made, was... errr. ... large, and little caro learned a lesson. I wanted to try to make a rough version of my abstract paintings so that I could put my name out another time as an abstract painter; but you know, I don't think that was such a good idear. I should have chosen to do something that I could've executed much more cleanly and been a bolder (and even a recognizable) image, which is what most other people seemed to do. I should've also considered that I wouldn't be able to paint with the painting hung up level to my eye on a wall and that the weather was going to be very cloudy-like it had been all week. Anyways, I couldn't see fully what I was making for most of the 7 hours and when I got there the next night for the auction, I was like, "oh. i dont even remember that color.. or that color... or i didnt know that part was there...or ugh." oh well. it was good for me in the long run and i need all the learning experiences i can get. next year i'll think a little more clearly about what i need to do

so anyways, my little charlie brown Christmas tree of a painting got put in the 7:30 pm auction time slot, the earliest one (i'm assuming w the other newby art con people's). supposedly though, for my first year and for that time slot-before the night really got going- i did okay, just $60. but i'll take it for my first time there. all in all i'm so so so happy i got to be in art con!!! i'll be back baby

the Anthro Ft. Worth store is having an auction with the Modern Art Museum of Ft. Worth to benefit TAPS (a non-profit advocating art skills in children and teens) and the artists that work in the surrounding anthros were allowed to submit something to be auctioned. i decided to make another of my watercolor girls but make her more 'anthro' :






























































and today, i'll be (at the art con warehouse in downtown/deep ellum), making my piece that will be at the Art Conspiracy 7 auction tomorrow night! :)
