Where are you?

Carla | October 1, 2009

Normally this time of year I am in Portland, Oregon at the Local 14 Show & Sale. This year I am not. For all those who are concerned it is because of something bad I assure you it is not. It is because of something good! I had a terrific show at Art in the Pearl, in Portland. I have very little inventory left.

I had September to restock after Art in the Pearl, but September was booked with other business that kept me from my workbench. Also there was a trip to Peoria, Illinois for a show artist/director conference. I gave 2 presentations as well as learned a lot from my fellow directors. It was great fun.

Afterwards I hurried home to ship promised work off to a gallery in Austin, Texas: Art on 5th. Now I really have nothing left. My goal for the next month is to complete a bunch of commissions, enjoy Fall in Central Oregon, keep biking, and watch the snow fall in the mountains.

And a bit of random humor. Maybe my life in Central Oregon is sheltered. While traveling I encountered a vending machine that offered a wide selection of items that I had never seen before in a vending machine, together. I was going for the M & M peanuts.

My husband and I went to Local 14 today just to see your work and were disappointed not to find you. Now I understand why.
How do we go about buying your pieces online? Do you have an Etsy shop?
We’re big fans.
Thanks,

I’m so sorry. Even if I had been there, there was no work to see. 8-(
I hope the show was great otherwise.
Please email me if there is something specific I can help with. I have no Esty site.
And thanks! for looking for me.

“"Carla put together Welsh stones from Llanelli, Welsh sand from Barmouth, and Welsh slate from Ceredigion and created the most groovy BRACELETS and BROOCH and EARRINGS. She incorporated all these organic materials in a mind-bending way, and created heart-warming pieces that allow me to 'wear Wales.' I've returned over and over to Carla for the creation of very special, customized jewelry. She never fails to amaze and deliver one-of-a kind treasures."”
