Happy 2012!

Hey Friends!

I hope you all had happy holidays and the new year is treating you well!

Its been a while since you’ve heard from me, so let me fill you in! I was involved in three holiday sales at the end of last year: the Freight Street Gallery Handmade Market in Waterbury; the New Britain Museum Trunk Show in New Britain; and the Creative Arts Workshop Celebration of American Craft here in New Haven. Thank you so much to those who came out to support Jemmanimals!

It is officially winter, though I have barely noticed here in CT, as we’ve had only ONE good snow storm and a depressing LACK of ANY snow days! This fact is especially depressing to me, because I have so many sewing projects lined up ready for all those anticipated free days off from work. Instead, I’ve been shackled to my desk, thinking how  amazing it would be to be a bear. I could hibernate all winter long, wake up to a fabulously svelt figure and then go catch myself some delicious salmon sashimi!

I have a lot to do, on the sewing and social media front. Did you know I have a twitter? Its ok, I forgot about it too! :/ I have big plans for 2012 including some new mounted trophy heads, an introduction of a new jemmanimals clothing and bag line, some international news and more! stay tuned!

For now, I shall say goodbye.

thimbly yours, jemma

P.S. here’s a photo of a custom jemmanimal I made for the holidays! His name is Henry the Cat.

Shop just added!

After a month that seemed like a year waiting for internet service to be turned on, I am finally once again connected to the world wide web! So I just added a shop page with quick links to my etsy shop for online purchases! Hamster heads will be added to the etsy shop soon!

Also look for more posts soon, including info on upcoming fairs, holiday sales, and regular updates from the studio!

Jemmanimals are making a comeback!

Trunk Show at the New Britain Museum of American Art!

Please join me Friday, May 6th at the New Britain Museum of American Art. I will be the featured artist in a trunk show at the museum’s First Friday event! I’m so honored to be a part of this, and my work will also be sold in the museum shop for the month of May!

On sale will be the newest addition to the jemmanimals family: mounted hamster trophy heads! I made an edition of 8 heads for the trunk show and I think they’re going to go fast! Also plenty of other jemmanimals creations including hot dogs, lambs, guppies and more…

First Friday is from 5:30–8pm and features live jazz and drinks while you browse the museum collection. It’s going to be so much fun! Hope to see you there!
