The  Miracle Providers NE  have picked out an awesome theme for this Spring's fashion/drag show: The 4 Elements. How could pick an outfit for ONE element? I couldn't, so I'm making an outfit for each element… plus the finale. Five. FIVE outfits. Here's a splash of what to look for: Dress of coffee filters. © Samantha Grenier 2015.

Tomorrow night is the final Holiday shopping excursion at Western Avenue Studios & Lofts . The Loading Dock Gallery is hosting a Homemade Holiday Shopping Night . Stop by after work if you'd like - Official Gallery/shopping hours are 5pm - 9pm, Thursday, December 18th. I will be stopping by the gallery as well. I hear there will be some food sold to benefit the Miracle Providers . I have a couple things to finish up in the studio, so naturally my door will be open once I've finished shopping/grazing/socializing. My studio hours will be (about) 6:30-9:00 pm. I'm located on the 1st Floor in the C/D Mill. Hope to see you there!

So we're just about 1 month away from the Miracle Providers Northeast Wearable Art Extravaganza ! Tickets for the event are officially available for those wanting to attend {wink-wink!}. There's also a Facebook page for the event , for those who'd like to be kept up to date on details, or mark up their FB calendars. I've had a busy and productive couple of weeks in the studio. Firstly, the final results of my very-blue painting sessions: My (incredibly) blue painted table. I've been dragging my feet on the clean-up. I'll just be a quick switch-a-roo of the contact paper, but there are more important thing to attend to… plus I may be pressed for more paper-painting in the near future. I can just FEEL it; a paper-feather shortage is in the forecast for next week. Blue painted papers (and fabric). And dah-DAHH-DAAHH! The final color pallet and fabric selection for my garment(s): Peacock color pallet. I should have my sketches and dress cons
