Rocks and Shops

Instinctiveartstudio.comthis is from Van's Beach in Leland almost 6 mths ago. It was really fun going from looking obsessively for stones and looking up and  seeing this sky. One of those really ahhh moments. I spent a lot of time in Leland this winter on the beach looking for pretty rocks and blue stone. I have looked for stones for so long that, I am happy to report that I have finished my first 2 batches of polished stones and am on to the third. They are lovely! I have just been asked to show a lot of my different styles of work at a shop in Leland that is opening July 1st. Gathering, pricing and doing inventory of  art  now but also keeping up with making fresh work on a daily basis. I am also currently showing work in Traverse City at a new shop called 27stitches at the Commons in the new area of the Mercato. It's a sweet little shop/studio run by my friend Robyn. All work has a elements or is made form 100% sustainable materials. There are some really fun items.
