July 30, 2010 – The Creative Union art show was a bg hit. So we are doing it again, for the people who want to return and those who couldn’t make it the first time. And for those who want good Christmas presents for a reasonable amount of money:

We are calling it Creative Union 2/ Holiday Artfest, to be held November 13, 2010, at the Redux Gallery in Dorset, Vt. The idea is to continue the affordable art project – Maria doing fiber art, me doing notecards and photography, only this time just in advance of the Holiday Season, when people especially need it. Looks like the recession is hanging around a bit. So the time for affordable art has come. Dorset and Vermont are among the best places anywhere to prepare for the holidays.

Maria is really hitting her stride as an artist,  doing all sorts of new stuff – e-book bags, cell phone and eyeglass cases, placemats and quilts, as well as potholders (which she sold out of last week).  Check out her website, where there is a quilt sale underway. I should mention here that all of my notecards sold on Redux are signed. I will sign all of the notecards we make for the gallery.

So more to come as we move along. Just wanted to get the news out.

There will be plenty of things for sale inexpensively, and some for more than $15. I will basically be offering notecards in five-packs and singles. The new flower notecards are being printed now. We are considering some new ones – more Red Barns and winter shots and some other holiday ideas. Christine Nemec, the founder of Redux, is also considering the fun ideas like a cookie swap.
