ALL THE THINGS


Things are heating up at AWHQ (Argyle Whale headquarters... I can't pretend to be cool enough to acronym myself like everyone will know what I'm talking about).

I recently noticed that aside from going to craft fairs, I don't have much of a local presence for my art. That is just dumb. I should be neighborly and participate in the scene of my surrounding area instead of solely selling and sharing online.
The situation is being remedied. Argyle Whale IRL (that means in real life... people know that one right?) is coming to a gallery or shop near you if you are near me.

Galleries:
Washington Street Art Center- Somerville, MA (ok, this one is over because I had this post in draft mode too long)
Gallery Della Piana- Hamilton Wenham, MA for the animal themed show called The Beauty of the Beast
The Gallery at Porter Mill- Beverly, MA (This one is a pending maybe because it is up to the juror if I get in the show)

Pop up shops:
Concord Handmade- Concord, NH
GOLDMINE- Northampton, MA

Regular shops:
Magpie- Somerville, MA
ARCworks- Peabody, MA

Of course I'm doing a few craft fairs too. I kept the list a little slim because it is my first year as a Bazaar Bizarre organizer and I didn't want to have too many commitments.
Montserrat College of Art Holiday Sale- Beverly, MA on December 2nd
Bazaar Bizarre- Boston, MA on December 4th
Mass Market- Boston, MA on December 11th

I'm also running a handful of workshops at the ARCworks in Peabody!
The photo above is some sketching I'm doing for a secret project with Meagan.
This seems like a lot going on but next year I hope to be doing twice as much. Maybe three times as much. Must hustle.

Trade ya!


There is no use denying it; Christmas is coming and I'm pretty broke. I have been trying to figure out how I can manage to have presents for my family and I had a fine idea. I'd like to make a couple gifts myself but I really want to dazzle my relatives with surprises from other makers. I may have no money, but I do have things to trade!

So, I have a proposition for you crafty friends that could be mutually beneficial. I would be delighted to trade almost any item in my shop for a special little something from yours (preferably not art since I've got that part covered). My gift recipients are all adults (23-85) and they have a wide array of tastes. If you personally would like something from my shop or think it would make a nice gift for someone you love, just drop me a note and we'll see if we can make an exchange of roughly equal value! I'm particularly hoping for things like jewelry, journals, and home decor type things. Bath and body stuff would be pretty nice too.

I hope this works or else everyone is getting homemade peanut butter again!
