Update on the Cava Corkboard...

Decided to put the Upcycled Cava Corkboard in Show Me Handmade shop today...and already had 2 people oogle over it! May keep it there for a few weeks to see if it sells. Asking $65 for it to start. Feel that is a good price for a functional work of art! If it's still around by Artropy, I will display for sale there, then afterwards it will make an appearance on Etsy.

Upcycled Cava Cork Board

I am really pleased with this one of a kind upcycled cork board! I found an old framed pressed cork board, removed the old pressed cork from the backing and replaced it with new thinner pressed cork. I then stripped the frame of the ugly brown and repainted with left over Behr wall paint called Wisdom (white with hint of green). I then took a bunch of Cava champagne corks I had, cutting the ends and gluing the bottom up to show the stamped bottom. To learn more about Cava, visit http://spainforvisitors.com/archive/features/cava.htm . The corks sit slightly above the frame, and are a bit uneven as it was fun shaving off a bit here and there to try to get them even. Think it adds character~ :) that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Will sell this with 7 corky tacks. I took the top of the same corks and glued star tacks to create a fun way to tack up those bills, notes, or appointment cards. Will be on Etsy soon...thinking about asking $70.00 for it.

Tower Grove Farmer's Market

It was a cold start, but the weather ended up being nice. Not the best sales but shared a booth with a few crafty friends that made it fun. Here is our booth, and Emily trying to keep warm.

Painted Wine Glasses

Playing with some enamel paints to create a set of unique wine glasses. Dishwasher safe (top rack only) or hand wash with a non-abrasive cloth. I will have this set and another set with the same design at the last Tower Grove Farmers Market this Saturday from 8am-12pm. If they don't sell, you'll find them at ShowMe Handmade shop located in ArtSpace at Crestwood Court for sale. $24 for the pair~
