"Paperworks" is a collaboration between rural Gays Mills artist, Karen Riddet, and myself. We both work with paper to create our art and knew that our pieces would complement each other.
Karen is selling her beautiful quilling, or paper filigree. It's an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. Karen has been involved in the arts most of her life, with an associate degree in art. Her work has transitioned over the years from acrylic painting to creating hand made 1/12th scale miniatures and now to quilling.
I will be selling my vintage dressmaker's pattern art, paper doll collages, vintage paper artwork and my photography. My Elegant Decay art is the process of deconstructing and reconstructing to create something new and beautiful out of something old and discarded. I only started doing artwork in 2014, after retiring from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Karen and I will also be selling antiques, collectibles and curiosities.
Our stall,Vendor #88, is at "Crazy Frank's Readstown Flea Market Located on Hwy. 131.
Open Wednesday - Sunday, from 10 am - 5 pm.
