L.A., Here I Come!

Beaches, boardwalk rollerskating, palm trees, endless traffic and high density smog: Here I come!  Figuratively speaking, of course.  I’m now a featured artist at 8 Limbs, a cool sewing/art studio/boutique in Echo Park.  I spent this past week preparing some west-coast-bound schwag:

I also had to keep up with the action here in Austin.  Luckily we had a streak of super warm weather and I got to work in our open air patio.  This was both a blessing and a curse, because amidst the gentle blowing breezes and happily chirping birds, I had to listen to the incessant shrieks of my neighbor who is trying to remodel his house: “JUST GET THAT F’ING SH*T OUT OF HERE!  OH GIVE ME AN F’ING BREAK!!”  Below:  art mounted on wood and drying, waiting to be sealed.

I reconfigured a little piece of art that I had designed a while ago and I really like the way it turned out.  I mounted it on wood and added hooks to create a small jewelry/key rack.  The quote is by ‘Abdu’l-Baha and says: When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love.

Jewelry/key rack available at Parts and Labour in Austin, TX

Misha Blaise Design at Blue Genie

I’m happy to announce that I am now selling my art at Blue Genie at The Oasis in Austin, Texas!  This store is amazing.  It is packed with top notch artists and designers and I am so honored to have my work there as well.

If you are wondering about the display, I have to mention that I basically had nothing to do with it.  This is one of the benefits of marrying someone in construction.  My husband Nick spent the morning cutting wood, drilling, and painting, and produced these amazing display boards and shelves out of thin air.  If I was left alone to design this space, I’m sure I would have just nailed everything up on the white wall.
Once I read about an artist who became so successful in the retail world, her husband quit his day job in order to help her produce her art!  A girl can dream…. Until that day, I will be hunched over my work at midnight while my baby sleeps, trying to keep up with my ideas during the few moments I have alone each day.
