It’s been another sunny, enjoyable (and busy) weekend here at What? Clay Art & Curios, with nearly 130 visitors dropping in over the course of two days, the second and final round of the 7th Wave Artist’s Studio Tour. People seemed to be in a buying mood… and talkative as well. It’s encouraging to get direct feedback from visitors, and gratifying to be able to share some of my creative approach and process. In addition to a new body of work I created over the summer (see the “Zennish” series here), we also introduced a line of multi-occasion greeting cards, (designed by my boyfriend Rob and his company, Circle).

Images: Some of the 25 unique What? greeting cards launched this weekend—the series includes nostalgic souvenir-style greetings, pithy sayings, and humorous quotables (suitable for many occasions and gift-giving). All cards are blank inside, easily framable (5″ x 7″ in size with imagery sized to fit standard 5″ x 7″ and 4″ x 6″ frames), and come with accompanying white envelopes. A sampling of these new What? cards are now also available at the Fishfly Gallery in Winnipeg Beach (you can see more card samples on Rob’s website here).
