Opening February 1--Triple S

Info on Reception is Pending---Artists to be notified of Acceptance Jan 1.

Nina's Nook will be CLOSED FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY! 

Recognizing that business falls right off after the holidays, I am taking a break to create

new work of a non-craft nature! I have been running my own little sweat shop turning out slugs, humbugs,

etc and neglecting my sketching, painting, and sculpting. Plus I want to do some fun things on the weekends,

and get ready for this fabulous show of very exciting work!

New Items at Nina's Nook, December 22

I know this is rather last minute, but inspiration abounds at the Nook! There's a new batch of really wacky slugs clinging to the walls--

First of course it's Slithery Santa Slug!

Accompanied by

"Stunted Stella" and "Stepped on Steve".

I thought at first, an amusing way to use up some of the smaller scraps, but I'm seeing "Stepped on Steve" leave the  store rather quickly!

Also in the key of green:

A new linen bag lined with black wool and bearing a handmade polymer embellishment. From a medieval-era replica pattern as is the one below:

The week after Christmas I will be open  Wed and Thursday 4-6pm, Friday 2-6, Saturday 1-5.

Then in January I am taking a break to replenish some items and do some painting!
