See You at the Art Walk

You know warm weather has returned when local art walks resume after a winter hiatus. After a winter that can only be described as miserable, I'm ready to go stroll around the Marietta Square this coming Friday evening to look at art. And of course 2Rules Gallery at 85 Church St. will be my number one stop since they represent me!

I popped in at 2Rules the other day and found owner Helen busily arranging a slew of new offerings. The gallery is featuring lots of new artists with lots of fantastic art in all media. Looking for a special gift for newlyweds, Mother's Day, Father's Day or the graduate? You can't go wrong giving an original painting, or one of a kind piece of pottery, jewelry, fiber art, or decor item. How much more imaginative and thoughtful those items are than tired old standbys like flowers, chocolates, toasters or ties! You don't have to be a Rockefeller to afford originals, either. There's plenty to choose from for less than $100 at 2Rules and other art venues all within a couple of blocks.

Anyway, I hope to see you at the Marietta First Friday Art Walk this week. Come out and stroll the many shops and galleries, sip some wine and have some fun. It's a party that gets bigger and more exciting every year!

2 Rules Fine Art Now Carries My Original Art Pendants and Mini-Collages!

I'm very pleased to announce my Original Art Pendants and mini collage paintings are now available through 2 Rules Fine Art in Marietta, Georgia!

2 Rules is a beautiful contemporary gallery offering an extraordinary selection of two dimensional art as well as sculpture, handmade jewelry, pottery and many other artisan-created items. (Not to be missed: owner Helen Rule's magnificent chainmaille jewelry and delightful origami birds!)

The gallery is located in Marietta's historic district, just north of the Square, at 85 Church Street. 2 Rules is known for offering art of exceptional quality in a welcoming environment. It's so exciting to have my work featured here! With its gleaming wood floors, clean white walls and open, spacious feel, 2 Rules offers you a comfortable, pleasant experience from the moment you walk through the door.

 

Elegant chainmaille pendants created by Helen Rule

Until now my pendants and mini collage paintings have been available only through my Etsy shop, playingwithcolors. They will continue to be offered through Etsy, but if you would like to actually see, hold and -- in the case of the pendants -- try them on, I urge you to pay 2 Rules a visit. 2 Rules is now offering a large number of pieces in the pendant collection, ranging in size from 1x1 inch to bold statement pieces measuring 1 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches. Pictured below are just a few of my creations you'll find at 2Rules:

My own hand painted art papers and intriguing foreign "found" papers form the colorful design on this piece. A luxurious black silk necklace cord (not pictured) with lobster clasp and two-inch extender chain is included.                              © Lynn Edwards

This pendant was created using stamps I designed myself. After stamping onto the paper, I then hand embellished the design with different colors of permanent artist's inks. The pendant is suspended on a silky black necklace cord  (not pictured) with lobster clasp and two-inch extender chain.    © Lynn Edwards

One of several mini-collage paintings now available at 2Rules. Displayed on its own wooden easel (included) it brightens a desk, shelf or tabletop using only a few inches of space. A mini-collage painting makes the perfect gift for that "person who has everything!"          © Lynn Edwards

All of my pendants and mini-collage paintings are created exclusively by me in my North Georgia studio. Each one is a completely original, one of a kind work of art that will never, ever be duplicated or reproduced. I invite you to go by 2 Rules and check them out. Browse all the beautiful items you'll find in the gallery. It's a feast for the senses, and a great place to discover artful finds you won't see anywhere else.
