In her Friday blog, Suze Perot (local artist extraordinaire!) mentioned “The Girlie Show” and, being to internet junkie that I am, I immediately googled and found that it is a local “chicks only” art show, right her in OKC!! Meg and I went on Saturday and ohmygosh am I EVER in love!!
Here are a few of the goodies…
Cupcakes!! Yummy tasting ones from here and yummy looking ones, like the one I brought home with me (this painting by Ruth Ann Borum is tiny – 2.5 x 2.5 inches)…
Gorgeous jewelry made from vintage bits of goodness like the St. Michael’s pendant that came home to join my collection (by artist Natalie Tischler of Ornamental Things)…
Poetry and kodachrome by Samatha Lamb – she uses a kodachrome technique to print her photos and they just glow…
And music by this lovely sweetheart (Maggie McLure) who was playing as we entered (after having received press-on tatoos, as shown above, from a six foot tall Roller Derby Queen!! We have Roller Derby in Oklahoma!!! Who knew??)…
I’m still basking in the glow if it! It was so inspiring to see so much unique and beautiful art – right here at home! There was something about the whole event that seemed to suggest a hands-on-hips, “no messin with me buddy” sort of attitude – it was bold and quirky and a tiny bit edgy and we ate up every second of it!! It was also so good to know that there is a local market for that sort of work! You never know what a couple of quirky crafters could come up with in time for next year’s show.

It sounds like a great event!! I love your tattoo…and I’ve been a fan of Samantha Lamb’s photography for awhile. Off to check out all your other links!
How wonderful! And, to share it with someone — extra special! More links — more fun !!!!
