Work for Sale by the Jafagirls

Recently I had two enquirers about buying our work, of course they only can pay with bank transfer/cashiers cheque, and they need the work for a new apartment ;) You know where this is heading right?

We do have work for sale and any buyers of course are most welcome to visit the below establishments or contact them.
They will gladly answer any questions regarding our work and payment arrangements.

Nancy is at Village Artisans
Corrine is represented by Sherly Kostic at  In a Frame
Talitha has work at Glen Helen Gift Shop
and currently
Talitha and I have work in the 
#ysgram exhibit at the Yellow Springs Arts Council Gallery

Mayhem at the Herndon Gallery

Seriously, I didn't know the jafagirls were
 going to be this involved in the Herndon Gallery Exhibit but honored and excited to be invited. I came back from a trip to Taiwan and Nancy said, "HIAY! here is the list of things we have to do by next week." PHEWflippingHECK!
 So in between jet lag, feeling crumpled, unpacking, crossed eyes, and jet lag, oh! did I mention that already, erm, I am stitching and bitching up a STORM.
Talitha has a painted panel from The Mills Park Fence Art Gallery Project included and Nancy and I are installing old and new street art pieces (yarn and textile) into "TAG!Territorial Negotiations". 

The Herndon Gallery opens "TAG! Territorial Negotiations"

I believe the DJ for the opening reception is going to be Shane Creepingbear YEA!

Mayhem at the Museum

and the thought of doing an installation was intimidating, especially when I saw the pile of STUFF. We had no schematic drawings of how we were going to do it yikes, BUT as with a lot of things Nancy and I have done, we winged it.  After nearly 8 hours we 
decorated resuscitation doll
painted three chalk trees for visitors to decorate, and Deb Housh (Museum Educator) attached 
the magnetic board for Mr.Plato. Meanwhile 
Springfield Museum of Art
Nancy and I got Felt Man up. Visitors are welcome to attach pieces of felt to him ;)

More work to do today.
Meanwhile a big thanks to everyone at the Springfield Museum of Art
Kathy Moulton for the use of her bench
Talitha Greene for loaning us the fan for display.

cheers all

Remembering the Children

We have made white peace poppies before but it was this absolutely stunning installation in the UK that really pushed me to think why not create something for the children?
We obviously can't do anything like the beautiful commemoration in the England, but we can do what jafagirls are known to do best, get crafty. 
public art memorial

I just wish there was an international day of mourning and remembrance for all the children around the world who have/or are dying due to war, gun violence, etc. 
We are inviting people to create white poppies and add them to ours in town or create a memorial installation in your town.
