East Austin Studio Tour: Boongoo Studio November 12, 2009

East Austin Studio Tour 2009

The East Austin Studio Tour is starting this Saturday and I am excited.  Mark and I are also having three guest artists: Alison Kuo, Aaron Flynn and Beverly Anderson.  Come check out our studio and our new work.  We are number #125 on the official map.

“Boongoo Studio is the shared studio of Glade Whitworth and Mark P. Hensel. Although the two don’t collaborate, they help each other by sharing their respective skillsets and bouncing ideas off of each other. Whitworth is a fiber artist who designs greeting carts and creates applique wall hangings.  She strives to keep her art playful, fun, and festive. Hensel is an artist, writer, and web designer who is interested in the edges of art and technology. He works in many media, including comics, animation, and installation.”

Our studio will be open the next two weekends, Nov. 14th and 15th and Nov. 21st and 22nd.  If you are in the Austin area you are welcome to come by!

It’s that time again.  I’m not sure where October went, but at least I have quite a few blog posts to show for October.

October Goals

1. Finish setting up the studio and get pictures posted next 2 weeks. Done!

2. Serious art time.  Time to get down to business! I will post my Domy Monster show monsters sometime this week.

3. Finish a supply of all greeting cards, at least 25 of each card. I definitely made a lot of cards, but I still need to make a bunch more.

4. Get photos of new stuff done and uploaded.  Here’s some new stuff right here:

 

New Happy Holidays Argyle Greeting Cards

You Fill in the Blanks Greeting Card for Any Occasion

November Goals

1. Work, Work, Work on stuff for the East Austin Studio Tour (E.A.S.T.)

2.  Finish postcards for Art Alliance Austin

That’s all I can do!

I recently sent in some sample Apartment Therapy posts in the hopes of getting a job on the staff.  I will post my samples here this week.

We have been loving the new trend of tactile furniture, and lately we’ve come across furniture with even more of a crafty flair. Crocheted furniture can be sleek and modern, or just remind your favorite handmade scarf. Could it also be your next DIY project?
