just paper down before resin

I had this buffet cabinet built for the store last year when I had to close store #2, because I needed storage in the worst way. Since closing a store is an emotional and physical drain, I was not too inspired to finish off the cabinet in any creative sort of way for about 4 months. Well, last week I decided to paint the store, and the cabinet and I think it is totally cool. I purchased some handmade paper, glued it down and then I poured the easy epoxy clear gloss resin over the top and let it dry. It looks great! I then painted and stained the wood cabinet so it took on a metal/ industrial sort of look. Check out the photos and let me know what you think!

On my creative journey, I have discovered paper clay! OMG! It is so much fun to work with. Here are a few of my whimsy girls, santas and witches. All are for sale on my website: www.hazellem.com

Hazelle M. is still going strong. We have re-invented ourselves once again. The store is looking really good, so I hope you can pop by the website to check it out- www.hazellem.com. I have also taken on the art pixie blog and and I have started my own creative journey. I hope you will follow me... www.artpixies.wordpress.com

Hazelle M. update

Alot has been happening in the ART 634 building and with Hazelle M. It has been almost a year since my last post, and well, that is pretty pathetic. So, to update you in a jif, I have opened a new store called J.A.G. - Jackson Art Gallery. JAG opened in April of this year and features blown glass, ceramic handmade pottery, and metal sculpture. All this presented to you in a very contemporary modern atmosphere. JAG really fills a void within our little artist community, so I hope you can come down and check it out. If not, please check out the website, it will give you a little more info. please visit: http://www.jagartgallery.com/

ART 634 has had our share of road construction this summer. The construction has made it virtually impossible to visit, although, with determination, you can still get here by entering thru north street, on our make shift dirt road going thru the old prison wall! The construction is slated to be finished by the end of next week. We will have a new brick road, lighting and an ART WALK.

I hope that you can join us for the Grand Opening of our ART WALK on Sept 12 from 12-4. We will have music, food, bikes for the trail, and great shopping. Come check out Hazelle M. and the new J.A.G. Jackson ART Gallery!

Both websites are up and running if you need more info. As always, you can reach me by e-mail or at the stores!
