The Fine Furnishings Show Baltimore

The Fine Furnishings Show, a premier show for hand made furniture and decorative arts and crafts for the home took place over the weekend of May 3-5 at the Maryland State Fairgrounds. Karla Little, who runs the show, made me feel especially welcome. I was awarded Best in Show for Fine Crafts which was  a wonderful honor. Here I am in front of the booth.   Thank You Karla !!!!!

The large blue and violet screen at the left is two panels, each 40" x 60". It has gold mica hinges, and the side you can see is covered with large flakes of mica. It shimmers under the lights of the show. Here it is outside the studio.

The other side of the screen is decorated with gold mica squares and spatters.The poplar edges are embossed with a linear pattern, highlighted with graphite and finished with a wax rub. $1,400.00. I can send samples of the papers on request.

Here are two variations of block printed papers. The red paper is printed with mica on a pigmented background. The green is printed with a variety of transparent green watercolors on a light peach colored pigmented background. This paper is the current background for my blog, and the red is on the four panel screen in the booth picture above. It is priced at $750.00.

My next venue is the Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair in Silver Spring MD this coming November. Watch for details!
