Sharpie's new fabric markers at "Art in the Park"

I love being on the Sharpie Squad and using all things Sharpie!

Sharpie has just released a great new fabric marker that has a brush tip and is perfect for creating original works of art on most fabric surfaces.

  I decided that the perfect venue to help introduce this new marker would be at the "Art in the Park" event at Congress Park in downtown Saratoga Springs.

I set up a table next to our own tile booth and had free t-shirts and packs of the new markers to give away to kids who wanted to create an original t-shirt design.

Miriam, another artist who was exhibiting at the show, was the first Sharpie artist of the day!

A very enthusiastic young artist creates a fireworks and shooting star design.

Sharpie made this young lady smile!

Not just a talented artist, but a very talented step dancer, too!

It was a beautiful day with a lot of very happy  Sharpie lovers. I'll be posting some of my own Sharpie art soon, so stay tuned!!

How to successfully accessorize with Sharpie markers!

Here is my third and last Thanksgiving Sharpie post. This, I think, was the most creative use of my Sharpies of the whole evening. Where did it all start? With my husband, Don, of course!

Cooties for sure......that's his Sharpie now.

Pete gets just the right position for his Sharpie.

I see a new fashion trend, a bit painful, but that's the price you have to pay sometimes.

My, my, looks like Jody has the style all figured out. And - nice choice of colors!

Yes, it was a great Thanksgiving. We ate our fill, laughed a lot, decorated cookie containers, doodled, drew, and came up with a jazzy new fashion style.
Thanks Sharpie!

Sharpie and Rubbermaid = Cookie Container Goodness!!

Last week I received a box full of goodies from Rubbermaid and Sharpie that I couldn't wait to share at our Thanksgiving gathering. We're a very crafty family, so having a project or two is always on the list of things to do either before the feast or as we sit and enjoy dessert. Armed with a box full of Rubbermaid Takealongs and a big fist full of Sharpies, I challenged everyone to decorate a container or two. Their reward? I'll fill it up for them with my holiday cookies at our next gathering at Christmas!

An artist at work!

Dreaming of those chocolate chip cookies.

Hmmmmm.....I'll take the sugar cookies.

Choosing just the right colors!

OK, Aunt Linda, fill it up!!!!

Gingerbread (my specialty), chocolate chips (Pete's favorites) and sugar cookies are just a few of the treats that will fill the containers!

It was a lot of fun to get creative and thanks to Sharpie and Rubbermaid, everyone will have their own private, hand decorated container full of homemade cookies at Christmas that they don't have to share.....well, maybe just a little sharing!

Check back tomorrow to see what else we used Sharpies to decorate!

Monday Blog - SHARPIE Spotting!!

As a proud member of the 2010 Sharpie Squad, I'm always on the lookout for people using Sharpies. It's amazing how many people depend on their Sharpies everyday!

Honestly I have seen Sharpies used in many different businesses and by many artists to create unique and wonderful art....but I didn't have to look very far to find a young artist who has put her Sharpies to good use! Ali is my pottery student who I've been working with all summer. Of course she needed a personalized apron to keep the clay off her clothes while working....so I sent her home with a fistful of Sharpies and a clean white apron and she came back with a work of art!



She asked me to collaborate with her on the design, so I added some details across the top and mixed in here and there.





Well, have you, punk, have you had you clay today?????
