SISTERS

 Lilia and Marly Jane (respectively in self portraits and photo ) have been coming to Beehive since we opened our doors.  We love love love these girls and they have a really good time creating the most amazing art... purses, puppets, puppies and self portraits. When I hear them giggle and chat across the room I smile BIG.....  and then I wish MY sister was by my side.

Makers Market OPENS tomorrow

I would if  I could and next year I certainly will.

pencil bouquet

a few fresh stools

I just found these stools created Ingrid Jansen of  Wood and Wool  from the Netherlands.

I love how the colors and contrasting textures of the warm worn wood against the tidy colorful stitches.  I'd like one in each room please.. or maybe a row on my front porch. You can oogle here. 

dragonfly parade

HOLY MOLY!  A week chock-full of EARLY BIRD ART.. 

print books, paintings, sculptures, fairy houses,

pillows, banners, prints and a dragonfly parade.

Today we will be putting finishing touches on projects and packing up portfolios.

 We painted these dragon flies in 

cool shades of blue and green...

but the cherry on top was the BLUE GLITTER!

And we're off...

 

Just a quick glimpse from Early Bird, day ONE..  

What could be better than a studio filled with kids just itch'en to make art!

Early Bird ART

  Summer ART 2011 begins this week with Early Bird ART.  Specifically for Pre-K, 3/4-5 year olds, Early Bird is an exciting studio art program that bridges the gap between the end of pre-K and the beginning of summer activities.

                    I say.. Bring it ON! ..and stay tuned for some very colorful sneak peeks!

PINK

My most favorite June flower, it's lovely fragrance, beauty color and the miraculous bloom year after year. You are worth every snow storm, snow pile and every bitter, icy cold day.

                                        I adore you PEONY!

Orange

I couldn't resist sharing this garden beauty before heading out on my bike this morning.

Girls at ART

My sweet friend Ali wanted to host an ART PARTY at Beehive for her friends Allison and Julia, and all of their (7 total) girls. Ali's girls (top photo)  have been (mostly) in and out of the studio for years, their friends were new to the studio and were in for a surprise! It was an evening to cherish, all girls enjoyed each others ART, laughter, love and big hugs.  I enjoyed meeting these very special people and sharing my studio space with them. I cannot wait for them to return.  Thank you Ali...xo
