Used Canvases for the Giving

For a couple years, I finished at least one painting a day. So now, I have a fair number of used canvases. They are the regular variety, and I use gallery wraps exclusively now, and don't frame my paintings.

So, if anyone wants a box of canvases for the cost of the shipping, please drop me a note. Some of these canvases will have surfaces with somewhat of an impasto; some will have fairly smooth surfaces. 

I've already spent too much time fussing and worrying about these, and storing them, and now, I really don't want to mess around looking for various sizes, or filling orders for people. I want to box up the first 20 canvases and send them off, then box up the next 20 and send them off, etc. 

Please respond here on AFI, or use my outdoor email, carrieBjacobson@gmail.com.

After all my booth fees I didn't have funds to create a professional website. I asked the web wizards if there was a good free site. Thank you Jim for recommending weebly.com. Looks pretty decent, don't you think??

Excuse my sentences or miss spellings, I have to ask my husband to help me to correct it. English is not my 1st language,just learned it 10 years ago, but you can check it out in the meantime at : www.carlabank.com

hope this helps more artist that need a site, it was so easy to make.

I'll let you all know if this becomes available again. Please don't email her.

Hi everyone...

I just got a call from a friend who is a collector of antique bone china and is a supplier to Replacements Ltd. In the past when she has found broken or cracked pieces, she has given them to artists who break them up and use them for things like mosaics or wind chimes. Right now she has several pieces she's collected, but the artist she most recently gave them to has moved and left no forwarding number.

She is in Indianapolis, and she is willing to simply give them to anyone who'd like them. The only hitch is if you're not local, you would pay the shipping. She says shipping is cheap because you don't have to insure them! This may be an ongoing thing, although it's hit or miss according to what she collects. From what I understand, this hoard is full of some really lovely patterns and designs.

So, if you're interested, please contact her directly at gsteinberg2@comcast.net. Her name is Gayla.

I hope someone can make great things out of these!

Has this happened to anyone?

I was invited to jury for the Guild. I was interested in the Ann Arbor show so I submitted images and was accepted. I was given a year and a half free membership because they really liked my work. I was told I would receive an e-mail in January to allow me to apply to the show. I never received it.
