Vendzart®


OK, we know it ain't an original concept, but it's still cool to see art vending machines at our very own Western Avenue Studios.

Thanks to Rex of Vendzart® Industries,


there are several sweet machines that he restored, altered and installed, vending art to unsuspecting, um, I mean lucky, patrons in the halls and bathrooms. This is the one I have my goods in.


Here is what I put in the little packets:


These are mostly older polymer clay buttons or pendants. I mean "vintage" items I made in the 90's, with a few newbies thrown in. I know three have already been purchased. I am delighted to participate in this cheap-art-for-the-masses concept at no personal financial gain. I am enriched by the knowledge that I have brought art into someone's sad and lonely existance for less than the cost of a Grande. OK, 'scuse me, gotta go play with my Bouncy Bouncy Artist Balls...

  2. I love that machine!

    It was so nice to see you this weekend - I got tons of complements on my new earrings on Saturday while we were out to dinner. Thank you so much for the earrings and the card - it was such a thoughtful gift and really made my day.
