Trees and Circles

I had a Dream the other night... I saw a silhouette of a tree, with circles floating at the top.


The last time I had a dream like this one was about 3 years ago. That is when I started my Square the Circle series that you can see in my Etsy shop

I like the imagery and I've got lots of willing models near by. So, here's kicking off the new line of drawings, paintings and prints.

Sculpted Wire Pendant Necklaces

I've just developed a new line of Pendants featuring my handmade polymer clay beads. Sculpting with wire has been one of my favorite art forms for some time. I remember visiting the National Gallery in Washington, DC, and seeing a Calder exhibition... Wow!!! I was totally inspired. I've been twisting wire since.
Now, I've found a way to use my handmade polymer beads WITH sculpted wire... Check out my Etsy shop ( www.scottgarrette.etsy.com ) to see some Sculpted Wire Pendant necklaces and more...

Kansas City Etsy Team

A big thanks to Stephanie at Soapmania.etsy.com for getting things rolling for the KC Etsy Street Team! I think this group is going to be great for all the members. There is so much potential here in Kansas City to get the word out about Handmade and what that really means. I'm hoping the community will embrace this group of artists with open arms. There are so many talented artists making their works right in our neighborhoods... We should all stand up and be heard, or seen at least. It is hard to get work out for the public to see and I believe this group of Etsy artists will be a great resource for us all in our goal of selling our creations.
