I finished designing my new business cards this week and sent them off to the printer’s!

I am very excited and happy with the new design I came up with. And I hope to get more of my handmades and artwork listed in the near future on my etsy shop evepeachart.etsy.com.

I also have my handmade journals, vintage style aprons, and nature prints at Laurel Leaf Gallery in Leipers Fork. Leipers Fork is quite the charming little country town with a strong artist community. I encourage all to take a scenic ride on Natchez Trace Parkway and visit all the galleries in Leipers Fork. While you are there stop in and have a healthy organic lunch at Joe Natural’s Cafe where they serve locally grown food and provide organic groceries for purchase too.

2010 Home Garden

Eve Peach — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:36:34 +0000

We have moved our little garden from right outside our back door to the large field in the back of our property making this years garden a bit bigger. This also created more work but I love it. My happy place is found outside with my hands in the dirt. Here are a few photos I have taken to document our 2010 garden. Our garden also makes a great hands on learning tool for our preschooler Hannah. She loves to wear her dresses and scoop up the fresh handpicked veggies in the bottom of her dress to carry to the kitchen while she sings Snow White songs along the way. Priceless!

Chihuly at Cheekwood: Saturday Afternoon Family Outing

Eve Peach — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 22:48:42 +0000

On this hot Saturday afternoon in June my family and I drove across town to Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum of Art to check out the newest outdoor sculptures by glass maker and installation artist Dale Chihuly. Dale Chihuly has taken the art of glassblowing to a higher level by pulling teams of master glassblowers to create large scale outdoor and indoor vibrantly colored installations. His work sets beautifully amongst the botanical gardens found at Cheekwood. It was a wonderful way to spend a sunny day outdoors in nature. This exhibit is also open on Thursday and Friday nights where his installations are transformed by light. Might have to go back for that experience!

Artist Ran Hwang| Wall Installations Made From Thousands of Buttons

Eve Peach — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:51:53 +0000

This morning my friend forwarded an article about artist Ran Hwang’s installations made from thousands of buttons (click on name to read article.) I love his work so much I wanted to share. I have always wanted to incorporate buttons into my soft sculptures and/or installations. I think I have found the inspiration to push the ideas I have experimented with in the past.

First Handmade in the Arcade.

Eve Peach — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:48:14 +0000

I am winding down after a busy weekend participating in the first Artisan Market and Indie Craft Fair at the historic Arcade in downtown Nashville.

There was a great turn out and lots of energy to feed off of. Heather and I had a successful time with a new and improved Gathering Spriggs booth to work with and great new wares from us and our consignees!

We are planning on being there again in December during the first Saturday Art Crawl!

Grounding myself in nature

Eve Peach — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:55:36 +0000

Here are a few images I captured today during a short family hike through the woods at our local Beaman Park.

Being out in the middle of dense mossy wet woods is the just the kind of therapy I have been seeking to help me feel grounded and connected to something bigger than myself. Especially when I can share the experience with those who I hold closest to my heart.
