That, my friends, is a picture of 104 scarves! Back in January, I was contacted by a woman who has talked to me at several Art Fairs here in Redlands. She is on a planning committee of a local golf association – they are planning a large golf tournament that ends with a lunch at the country…
About 3 weeks ago, I won an iPad. I quickly made a simple envelope sleeve for it, so I could carry it without worrying about it getting scratched. I love it! So simple, so necessary, so pretty. Perhaps I’m not the only one who likes it: At the show I did last weekend (pictured above),…
I got a request for a black – grey- lavender scarf last Friday. I surprised myself at how much I love this pallette. I name my color palettes so that when I go to mix the same colors again I can refer to something memorable. What stated as a practicality when I first started dyeing…
Good friends of ours had a baby just under a week ago and named her Teagan! Teagan has a big sister named Maren who LOVES pink and (her Mom) green. (look, here she is with a cute little pink print I won and gave to her). So I had to make some big sis, little…
Here’s my latest commissioned bag! It’s a mega messenger bag, customized to hold a 15″ laptop. She really liked both my black-eyed susan and fiddlehead fern motifs, so I put one one on the front, and the other on the side phone pocket! She also didn’t want a key leash or d-rings inside, but wanted…
Last week I got a call from a woman who has chatted with me (and purchased a gift or two) a few times in my booth at a local art fair. She is on a planning committee of a local golf association -they are planning a large golf tournament that ends with a lunch at the country…
I had a couple of final things to make for some local clients – a notetaker for someone who likes blue and dragonflies, and a clutch for a lovely lady who’s been admiring my clutches for months. She has one son so really liked the mother/baby on a very simliar bag – but because I…
So, I made some of these cute trees to go with my mod house ornaments and didn’t blog about them! (If you look in these pix from my last big show, you can see them). Once local lady wanted to give a lucky couple in her family who love Mid-Century Modern one of my Krisel…
Hooray! Although the wedding isn’t ”til March, the bride & groom will be home for the holidays, and thus can give these scarves out to a lot of people. The thought behind these scarves is that everyone in the wedding party will wear one, and will wear something that somehow coordinates with the colors in the scarf….
Next up in my marathon of pre-Christmas making: a custom mega-messenger! This one is for a dancer/nursing student who has admired my work at several shows and finally decided she needed just the right bag for herself! She carries either a 15″ MacBook pro or an iPad, so I was able to devise a double…
My name is Candy Glendening,and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
