I think a change of perspective is in order. Art doesn’t have to be expensive to be worthwhile. Artists in your community are making something in your price range. Ceramics, wood work, handmade jewelry, metal work and textiles are a particularly affordable option. You can find something special for as little as $10. Don’t want to add to someone’s clutter? Artists conduct workshops and classes in person and online. Most are accessible to budding artists. I recommend buying local if you can because it will benefit your community. However, buying anything hand made helps to support an artist who probably needs a little help to keep going. https://www.tippipolo.com/studio-notes/thankfully-yours monthly 0.5 2021-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d40f3e08808bd00011783c0/1637856928483-Q1W81OL40F7R3EA7KCJF/unsplash-image-yj69D3hEU-o.jpg Studio Notes - Thankfully Yours - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.tippipolo.com/studio-notes/looking-for-gift-ideas monthly 0.5 2021-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d40f3e08808bd00011783c0/a5900d49-4fbc-4922-ac4f-aa8167a53a45/IMG_4646.jpg Studio Notes - Looking for Gift Ideas?

Tippi primarily uses paper, textiles, and wax to explore childhood memories, family narratives, superstition, and cultural lore. She is particularly interested in oral traditions and tactile means of capturing the more ephemeral aspects of culture and personality. Tippi resides with her husband and stepson in Tampa. She recently served as Coordinator of the Meadows Division of Art and Business Manager of the Pollock Gallery (Southern Methodist University). She is now Office Manager in the Office of the Dean at University of South Florida College of Design, Art + Performance. https://www.tippipolo.com/beeswax daily 0.75 2022-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d40f3e08808bd00011783c0/f38994d8-64fb-4f97-83f1-b957e0567c90/Polo_Beeswax.jpg Beeswax - What is Beeswax? It is really cool stuff. I only use 100% pure wax responsibly harvested locally in the state of Texas. You can use 100% pure beeswax to: Polish and protect wood items such as furniture, cutting boards and wooden utensils. Prevent rust on tools. To seal letters, bottles and other vessels when made into reusable wraps. To make fabric water resistant (not waterproof). To keep thread from fraying, making it easier to pull through common fabrics. To fix squeaky drawers. To make candles that last longer with fewer drips, no soot and more ambient light. To make cosmetics like lip balms and body salves. Check out The Beeswax Co. website for more uses, instructions and recipes. https://www.tippipolo.com/collageandprints daily 0.75 2026-03-27 https://www.tippipolo.com/collageandprints/mixed-media-collage monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d40f3e08808bd00011783c0/1728935629802-F0VRV6DO5N22ZKQTSN9E/PoloTippi_Oleander.jpg 2-D Portfolio -
