The Crazies Are Here and We Wonna Play....


We have been so busy here at Casey Sheppard Designs that the crazy has arrived....


New Events for the Month...let's get started....

CSD was juried into an online Exhibit "Chain Project"Curated by Marina Sheetikoff....

"inspired by  the meanings that the
term chain may assume, surrounded by  the universe.
In contemporary jewelry, this project aims to create a single piece of chain, composed out of chains
submitted by artists."
 
Please Check out the online Exhibit..
 






What's even more awesome...the Show's going to Brazil....Isn't that RAD!!!! 
"Chain Project" will be on Exhibit in person at
A CASA Museum of Brazilian Objects in February...
That's right, CSD has gone international...
 







This weekend CSD is part of the Piedmont Craftsmen 49th Craft Fair, we are on the final leg of being juried into the Piedmont Craftmen it's self...keep your fingers crossed!!!

NEXT!!!



It's the Kathleen Sommers 4th Annual Bracelet Show 
Takes place December 6-15th in San Antonio, TX...and look who made the flyer...NICE...
 

Casey also just got back from her Trunk show at Mackerel Sky in Michigan...a quick recap for y'all....
 

Mackerel Sky Trunk Show...
man I do have to say the peeps in East Lansing are HUGE art supporters and community...Casey was so impressed with not only how many people came out to see her new work but how many came because they had meet her at the East Lansing Arts Festival in 2011 (Where CSD won best of show)...Thanks to Tom and Linda for such great hospitality and to all the others Casey got to hang out with especially Diane, Jenine, Kim and Ed...
 

 Bike ride to SOFA show in Chicago...Casey got to check it out on the way to Michigan...

 
 Way bigger than the NYC SOFA...gotta check this out, CSD is making this one an annual event....(if time allows)...
 
So Casey stopped in Des Moines and before having lunch with Stephen King from the Des Moines Arts Fesitval http://desmoinesartsfestival.org/ (who showed Casey what a killer art city Des Moines is, who knew...) she road Banner Lake...nothing like road trip, art and bike rides...
 

 Another super rad trail...Potawatomi Trail in Michigan, it's 17 miles of super flowy, fast, LOTS of roots and fun singletrack...for us midwesterners with short trails this is a trail to be envious of...will be back FOR SURE....


 

 Ending her trip with lunch in Ann Arbor with Mo Riley from the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair http://www.artfair.org/...I got a great tour of this small, funky and really community town...

Thanks so much to everyone along the way for the tours, lodging, amazing meals and great talks...especially Casey's close friend Mirvat and her husband Art in Chicago....

Here are some random pix from the last few weeks...






 
 What's coming in December....

Men's Night Out at Perlow Stevens Gallery...



This means road trip to Columbia and yes that's right kiddies, some singletrack action at Rockbridge and Rhetts Run...
