The Wedding Gift Clock

I know it's been a little while since I've posted, but don't think I haven't been working, and then some....we recently moved (that's mostly the work I was referring to...) back to the east side of Portland, which I am very happy about. I miss the tall, tall trees and the acre for Jonah (our 8 yr. old son) to romp in, but being able to walk and bike to virtually everything has us revisiting the idea of giving up our vehicle - that and the $4.33 per gallon of gasoline!
I wanted to show off my latest earth-friendly clock design. It is another tall one - 6" x 24" - and it was made as a gift for friends of ours who got married in April. I always like making something new for somebody and then offering it as part of my line. So, in the spirit of the rest of my earth-friendly wall clock designs, here is the "Rising Song Long" in barn red and pumpkin orange! (Oh, and it'll be available on our website soon!)

The Alberta Art Hop is This Saturday! (May 17)

I wanted to write a little bit about the Alberta Art Hop, which is coming up this Saturday, May 17th, from 11-6 in the heart of the Alberta Arts District. It's going to be SO much fun! Justin, Jonah and I will be on the street, in addition to over 100 other artists and food vendors, with a full display of clocks, recycled and mixed media art, including Jonah's popular Monster ACEOs and drawings (see http://www.picklesandcheese.etsy.com/).


There will also be many local bands and musical groups performing on 4 separate stages. And, need I even mention, the many fine restaurants, galleries and businesses already located along Alberta Street. It is a recipe for a truly fine day, if only it doesn't rain. Last year at this time Justin and I were enjoying a tropical breeze in Hawaii and Jonah was enjoying sunshine and 80 degrees here in Portland with his Grandpa - all this to say that my fingers are crossed for a beautiful day!


Justin Potts will be bringing any amount (read: a huge and awe-inspiring selection) of his body of ink and watercolor drawings in small and medium sizes perfect for matting, framing and impressing your friends, as well as mixed media collages on board, using mostly recycled materials ... take a peak at Justin's art at http://flickr.com/photos/justinpotts/


Mary Preiser Potts will be showing her new, earth-friendly wall clock designs, all extremely affordable and perfectly gift-sy or splurgy-for-yourself-sy...this 7.5" square sells for a mere $25!

Mary will also be offering a selection of her Bird Women collages - made from recycled board and paper - Bird Women bookmarks and free Bird Women coloring books for the kiddos!

Hope to see you there!

Earth-Friendly Wall Clocks Are Here!

I am thrilled to introduce the brand new line of earth-friendly clocks from Infinity Arts. They are available now through Infinity Arts Gallery. There are 20 new clock designs in all, including 5 new desk clock designs. There are also 7 new block clock designs in the one-of-a-kind section. All of them are created using sdf (sustainable design fiberboard), which is formaldehyde-free and made from 100% recycled wood fiber, and painted with non-toxic, voc-free milk paints. Yay! It has taken us 6 months to get to this place with our decision to go green and I am very excited about the progress we've made....so, without further ado...

New Clock Designs in Pink and Brown - My New Favorite Colors

Here are my new pink clocks with a sidebar design. I was browsing the housewares at New Seasons (a Portland health food store) when I saw dishes in a pink/brown/cream color combination. You could say that it grabbed me. Here are the two results, which is not to say that there won't be anymore because I'm really liking these colors!

Rebel Rabbit, Sidestreet Gallery Garden Art Show, Crafty Wonderland!

Infinity Arts is keeping busy, busy, busy. Because it's summer, we are taking advantage of the beautiful weather, creating our hearts out and participating in every local show we can muster the energy to drag our 7 foot high free-standing wall to!

I enjoyed the first Rebel Rabbit Craft Fair (Sunday, July 29) immensely and met some really nice artists/designers. Aside from a First Thursday at PosterGarden in the Pearl District, this was my first solo show (solo meaning without Justin or Jonah)!

On Friday, August 3, the whole Potts clan was at the Sidestreet Gallery in SE Portland celebrating the opening of their garden art show that runs till the end of August. I have 3 of my large block clocks (one is a collaboration with my 7-year-old, Jonah) in the show.

This coming weekend, Justin and I will be together at Crafty Wonderland at the Doug Fir in NE Portland showing our clocks, wall art, Justin's cd's and ooh-la-la, some new Ornaments that I've just made and am very excited about! Justin will be dressed in full Spectacle regalia, so come by and say hi! (if you want to know what I mean by Spectacle regalia click here!)

I have some clock designs to post, too, if I can only find the time between shows!
