Color Concept: Jenn Ski Print


"We love the color in Jenn Ski's prints and paintings. Since we're in Week 3 of the Fall Cure (and we're closing in on the 2007 Color Contest), we made a landing strip based on the colors in this print from Vitamin Design. Orange and blue form the basis of this color scheme, with pops of yellow-green..."

Wall aplications

Back in July, I posted about a company called Wallter, which makes these neat wall applications. They are a bit pricey, especially if you want to buy many sets to do a big wall...

Wallter Hex wall application
(1 set) $42.00

Well, I was looking through Walmart's home decor section, and found this inexpensive alternative:

Tekno Hexagon Wall Decals
$3.00
Was: $14.88

Only $3 for one set! Paint them if you're not a fan of the colors, and stick tons of them up on your walls! Walmart made a big mistake by not showing pictures of this product on an actual wall... People can't see what they look like in real life, so they don't buy them, and now they're getting rid of them on clearance. Oh, well... Their loss is your gain!

Typography! Yeah!

Ok so I love type! Guilty as charged!

Yesterday @ the Sowa Open Market!

Yesterday was a great day to attend the South End Open Market! It started out slow, but by 1PM a mad rush of people had shown up. I met sooo many awesome people - just-looking, buying, and selling alike. Even a Jenn Ski Studio Blog reader showed up, and I was so excited I forgot to ask her name. So here's to you, anonymous blog reader! Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Also, Holly Becker from Decor8 (a super-popular design blog) popped into my tent to say hello. Now, I've never met her in person, but we've exchanged emails and she's even featured me on her blog. So she approached me and said "Hi, I'm Holly," and at first I had no idea who she was, so I just said "Hi!" Three seconds later I realized she was that Holly and went "Oh, my god, Hiii!!!" I was a little star-struck, it was funny! So if you read this, Holly, thanks for stopping by, and have fun in Germany!

I shared my tent with Old Gray Sweats, another Etsy seller who sells baby sweats, and yoga jackets for women. Behind us was another seller named Jen Jen Jewlery. I loved her stuff!!!




If you were looking for jewelry, this was the market to go to: Most of the booths were selling jewelry, then clothing, and lastly art and antiques and stuff. Even though there were lots of jewelry sellers, however, each booth had something unique to offer. My mother in law came by and was blown away by pretty much every jewelry seller!

I picked up some small things here and there. I got three funky costume rings for $15.

And I picked up some antique pins (two for $5) from the sellers to my right... They had awesome vintage clothing, jewelry and accessories, but in the commotion I forgot their names... I'm horrible with names, it's embarrassing!



As for my own sales, it was a great day: My Jenn Ski Notecards 4-pack was a huge success (I almost sold out of them, I have three 4-packs left!), I sold a bunch of single cards, and quite a few giclées. The surprise of the day for me was a little 4"x6" print that I'd made the night before just to have more small prints on display... People seemed to love it! I also sold one of two felt pins I had on display. I love my felt pins!


So all in all, it was a great day. I sold some things, met some great people, and had tons of fun. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and an extra-special thanks to those who bought my stuff!

Boston: South End Open Studios September 15-16

The South End Open Studios and the South End Open Market are both happening this weekend in South Boston!

South End Open Studios
(Info from their site)
Celebrating 21 years of art in Boston’s vibrant South End
Saturday, September 15 & Sunday, September 16, 2007
11am to 6pm

You are enthusiastically invited by over 250 USEA member artists to join us for the 2007 South End Open Studios, as this September we celebrate 21 years of sharing our work with you each 3rd weekend in September.

Whether you have been coming for a number of years or this will be your first visit, you will be impressed by the incredible range of work you will see during your time with us. Each stop along the route will introduce you to artists working in a range of media...oils, watercolors, photography, sculpture, mixed media, fiber arts, ceramics, jewelry, wood, glass, and metal as well as other visual and performance arts.

This is your chance to meet the artists first hand... explore types of work that are both familiar and new to you... and purchase work directly from the artists or make appointments to visit individual artists after Open Studios for a more in-depth look at their work.

Visitors to South End Open Studios can walk easily from building to building (or those who prefer can take the free shuttle busses.) There are 3 information areas within our Open Studios area where volunteers can assist you with directions and questions. We also are able to provide free parking at the areas indicated on the map.
