Newly posted hubcap photos!

Though I am still trying to figure this blog site out, I am happy to say that I did end up posting some of the hubcap pictures up here. This will hopefully be updated frequently once I get into the groove and paint my little heart out onto my hubcaps once more. I am looking to be inspired so if anyone has any scenes or ideas that they would like to see painted onto a hubcap, I would love to hear any suggestions.

Another exciting event has presented itself to me and it is that I will be one of Knoxville's First Friday Artists that will be on display at Mast General Store on May 1st. Everyone should come out and visit me!!

All the hubcaps I have are for sale, so if you are interested you may contact me at lilysjb@hotmail.com

Welcome to my first blog on my Creative Spaces page. I am highly excited about getting to share my artwork and other creations with you. I have been working on my hubcap art since I was in college, though it started as a high school game of "Who can find the coolest hubcap on the side of the road?" These roadside treasures became my wall decorations for all of my college years at Berea College, in KY, much to the dismay of my roommate. But at least they turned colorful pretty quickly. From there, these basic colors turned into scenes, objects, and abstract designs. It wasn't until recently that they moved from my own private collection in the back room of my house to a place where others may see it....All thanks to Ijams, who let me set up a display of them in the hallway.

The pictures of my hubcap art, drawings, and jewelry will be posted soon.
