I thought you might be interested on how I try to mix my RetroBabs Vintage & ReMix shop on Etsy with the ART world where I make my personal art.
I recently was involved in an art show with the Village Artists, an art co-op in Homewood, IL. I brought a vintage suitcase and travel train case and displayed my art work inside these vintage items. I received many comments on the display, the quirky, kitschy arrangement of fine art against old retro products. I think the juxtaposition is what catches people off guard. I passed out cards for both of my life's ventures and I hope the melding of them brings new customers to my life. Networking as such has been a very powerful tool for me.
I hope you have a great Holiday and take care. My next post will show you some of my latest art work!
I am an artist. I paint in watercolors and make pottery. I will use this site to post my work and have dialog with fellow artists and patrons. I make some art from vintage items and ReMix-Our word for reuse and recycle, I buy the fabric and other items and make art. My husband also makes sculpture from found objects.
