What's new for 2007

Happy New Year! Just a quick note to update you on Second Chance Art & Accessories for 2007.

A brand new website is in progress - hopefully this will make browsing a little easier. The address will be www.secondchanceart.net . This blog site will be available until the new website is up & fully functional.

I'm in the process of applying to art shows for the 2007 season. As of right now, I'll be participating in the 2007 Oak Brook Center Invitational Fine Craft Exhibition, which is July 14-15. I'm planning on returning to the Frankfort Fall Festival over Labor Day weekend, and.... I've applied to a few other shows - still awaiting confirmation. I'll post more info as I receive it. Most likely I'll know more by the end of february-mid march.

Decorative painting on a raised panel door

I've always liked decorative painting, and have been experimenting on my own "guinea pig" house. Here is a sample of some painting I did on the inside of my bathroom door. This is a raised panel door, on which I've painted the word for "bathroom" in different languages & fonts. I choose the languages based on the length of the word "bathroom". If you like this idea, I would consider hiring myself out to do a similar project on a door (or other place!) in your home. Just send me an email & we can talk.
