NEW LOOK AT SS.COM

It's December 1st and you know that means, I am a day late and a dollar short for cyber monday shoppers... but Scribbles Studios has a new look! All compliments of Steed Kettles, my husband. He built it from scratch...
There are a few glitches and we are still adding paintings so if you want to know a price on a painting or prints, on one that has been activated.
So throw three hip hip horrays for Steed!
Thanks for looking!

Where the passionate are fed. Where the spiritually starving are nourished. “Artists,” she said, “are simply people who are passionate enough to imagine things that do not yet exist.” Seona Reid, Principal of Glasgow School of Art, graduation address spring 2004

That's my quote for the day...

It needs to be better for the artists, easier for the buyers, and bigger so that the public will want to come.” Again, there is no entry fee or application fee. The work will need to be in by that Friday Oct 23rd AM. I will again, ask folks to make display cards, bring their stands, and have it ready to come- OFF THE WALL!So, watch for all the sites-myspace.com, meetup.com, linkedin.com, defoorcentre.com, meetups.com and scribblesstudios.com, my blog and now facebook.com/jill.kettles, for bulletins and more announcements!If you were apart of it this, the last two times, I really urge you to be apart again.
