Great Indy Star article!!!

Greg was featured in the Indy Star in late September. Both Dan, the reporter, and Zach, the photographer, did such a great job showcasing Greg and his work. It was a really exciting opportunity, and it’s been neat getting comments from people who recognize Greg from the article.

Check out the link below for the article and pictures!

All new critters!

Inspired by my southern aunt who recently hauled about a hundred old horseshoes up to my house, I worked out a new design! Presenting…Armadillos! Each is 100% recycled material, involoving 9 horseshoes, 2 plow tines, and 2 washers each. I couldn’t decide on whether to paint them or not, so I made one of each. What can I say? They make me smile! I hope that you enjoy them as well!

New critters: Armadillos!

And remember to come and see us at the Carmel International Art Fair on Saturday, September 24! As always, we’ll be on the sidewalk in front of the Old Town Antique Mall, in the heart of the Arts and Design District! Come by and see us if you can!

What time is it?

Well, Greg has been hard at work getting ready for his show in September. He had made a couple of really neat clocks out of old hubcaps last year, and he has decided to look into making other clocks. It has been a challenge with trying to reuse clock mechanisms, but it has been fun seeing what he comes up with as ideas.

Here are two that he has finished recently. I will be “borrowing” the second one for my office at work.

Greg continues to have great opportunities come his way!

Hi! It’s Dawn. With everything going on with Salvaged Beauty and “real life”, Greg and I are going to share handling the blog, to try to be sure that we stay on top of it. So, let me catch you up! SoHo is going great; we continue to showcase new pieces every month. Stay tuned for new pictures in the next week or so of some great new pieces that we just dropped off there.

We have also been in discussion with a new business venture down in Franklin, Indiana. We have mostly stayed up north of Indianapolis with the shows that we had done to date, and we had been having discussions of moving to other areas. An opportunity came up for a new shop opening in September down in Franklin, and we are currently working with the business owners. Stay tuned for more details.

Now, show-wise, we have had to cancel our August show, but we still plan on being one of the artist-in-residence in September through the Carmel Old Town Antique Mall. As always, we appreciate Roman and Linda’s support and invitation for this every year, and we look forward to it. Which means that Greg has been quite busy though, as this is always a successful and wonderful weekend for him.

Next show coming up!

Zionsville’s Brick Street Market is around the corner, 14 May. I have a couple of new pieces in the works for the show, larger and brighter ones which I really think will be crown pleasers. Stay tuned for pictures!

Hope to see you at the show.

Gallery opening!

Well, as luck would have it, when the magazine article came out a few weeks ago, I stopped in a new coffee shop with Dawn and my parents. It is a new venture, and it is actually a cafe and gallery. We talked to the owners, set up an appointment, and… I’m in! My pieces are officially on display at the SoHo Cafe and Gallery in Carmel, through August.

This is so exciting for me, as I have wanted gallery representation since I started down this artistic path. The owners are great, and are so supportive, and I can’t wait to see where this path takes me. It all happened so quickly, so I took in some pieces that I am really excited about too. Stay tuned for pictures in the next few days.

If you are in the area, the “meet the artist” night is scheduled for 12 March, 2011!
