So, with four days to go before Somerville Open Studios 2011 officially opens, I am feeling the butterflies in the stomach. But in a good way. 😉 I am excited to be offering high quality postcards this year. Anyone buying one of my postcards this weekend will receive a free postcard stamp (while supplies last). Notecards are back with an emphasis on images that capture the beauty of the four seasons. Last year I brought framed prints.
This year you’ll see more matted prints so that you can frame the images however you like.
Here’s something you won’t be seeing at Open Studios but you may see in the near future.
I’ve always loved the idea of bookmaking and recently tried my hand at using my photographs as the cover art of little blank journals. I made a few experimentally.
I was a bit concerned about the bindings but at least one small book withstood the attentions of a three-year old so, I think the bindings are okay.
There are just a few other details I need to work out before I feel comfortable offering them up. But here’s a sneak peak at one.
And finally I am excited to be sharing the table with artist Zoe Langosy. Over the past few months I’ve been able to share a bit about Zoe as an artist, as well as how she is incorporating my photography into her collage work. This weekend, come on by our table to see the completed pieces. The originals will be on display with prints for sale. I’ve already placed an order. 😉
Here are the details:
Somerville Open Studios, Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1, 12:00-6:00 PM
Visit as many artists’ studios as you can. There’s lots of transportation options to help you get around. Zoe and I will at the Community Space located at The Armory, 191 Highland Ave, Somerville, MA. That’s Location #57 in the SOS mapbook.
Whew! That’s the scoop. Thanks for reading. See some of you in a few days.
