QUICK(ER) WISDOM

Sometimes when I have good advice for people, they sigh and say something like, “You are so wise!”
I’m quick to respond that I’m not. I just learn quickly. And sometimes, not so quickly, but I still learn eventually.
It’s not that I automatically know what to do in any given situation. It’s that [...]

About me…

Where am I today? I'm selling my work at the Walpole Town Hall in Walpole NH, as part of the Orchard School's Annual Craft Fair. Great food, great music, and may I say, simply fabulous little treasures from yours truly. (blush) Preview Friday night, December 11 6:30-8:30 p.m., fair opens to the public Saturday December 12, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Even better--Burdick's Chocolate is just a block or two away! (And they always sponsor a wonderful silent auction item at the fair...) As always, please help spread the word! I'll be forever grateful.

You can see my art at www.LuannUdell.com and you can SHOP for my art here:

OPEN STUDIO!! Yes, me! Art, jewelry, seconds sale, food, music, dancing.... Okay, no dancing. But come anyway! Saturday and Sunday, November 7 & 8, 2009 from 10-5. Find out more about the NH Open Doors tour here.

I've learned a lot in the process of making my art and getting it out into the world. I share what I've learned so maybe you don't have to learn everything the hard way. (But sometimes you do anyway...)

You get an inside look at my creative life--the good, the bad and the ugly. Mostly the good.

I make wall hangings, sculptures and jewelry inspired by prehistoric, tribal and world art. I tell stories with my art, stories to honor and encourage others who are making their own place in the world.

I believe using our creativity makes the world a better place for everyone. I believe everyone can participate in that process. I contribute as an artist and a writer. And maybe other ways I don't know about yet.

I write about how being a late-bloomer, a mother (teens! When did THAT happen??), a martial artist, a rider, a climber and a writer, have all made me a better artist. And vice versa.

I wrote a book CARVING RUBBER STAMPS and I wrote a regular column for CraftsBusiness Magazine (til it went out of business, and no, that wasn't my fault.) Now I write a regular column Craft Matters for The Crafts Report magazine.

And thank you for stopping by!
