Vacation in Muse Land

Dear Friends,
As you know I've been working my tail off this year preparing my new studio, moving, and really pushing myself to reach new levels in my artistic expression this year.  And while loving every second, I've been running along at break neck speed, I have come to realize that it just isn't leaving time for the other things in my life that really need my attention.

Starting June 1st, I will be de-activating Etsy shop essentially putting it on vacation, and plan to re-open in August.  My goal is to use this 2 month break to not only create a fresh new collection and finish up custom orders, but also to focus on finding more balance to my very full plate.  My Red Bubble site will still be open.  I will still be active on facebook, however just taking time away from Etsy, and spending more of it on health, home and family.  Thank you for your understanding, and if you had your eye on a certain piece in my store, I suggest you snap it up soon!

Thank you for your support,
A.R.

Updates from Muse Land

Hello Friends,
I just wanted to send a little update before I take a bit of time off.  In case you haven't heard, this year there has been a lot going on in Muse Land. Since moving into this new indoor studio, my capability to create more detailed silk paintings has been finally realized.  I've been as busy as a bee, locked away in my studio trying to get all the patterns and designs out of my head and onto my silks and have been loving every minute of it!  Part one of the good news is that I now have a fully stocked shop of wonderful scarves available with an elevated artistic quality.  You can discover my new pieces in my Etsy store.

I have even MORE good news to share which is that I'm finally happy with the available artworks built up on my new Red Bubble site, where you can purchase greeting cards and prints of my art!  Please check out my portfolio/profile here!

Alas, as my list of custom requests and orders is growing longer and longer, I find that a little mini vacation is needed soon.  To browse the custom orders I've completed in this year alone, please visit my Flickr album.  After Mother's Day, I will be taking a few weeks off in order to rest my arm, dream up Fall inspirations, and tend to some other life areas which have been sorely overlooked for some time now.  For those who know me best, let's just say there is a certain Fruit Bear who has missed me very much :).

 As always, I would just like to say Thank You to all my friends, family and clients who continue to support my Muse Silk Paintings business.  You know how much this means to me :)
