Dan and I have been working for the last few years, lackadaisically, on a project we called "101 fortunettes."
We started collaborating on art when we were dating, and after we broke up, we had our first show, at the Hopvine in Capitol Hill.
I hope you'll join us - we'll be celebrating Dan's birthday and our cute little art at Hooverville, 1721 1st Ave S, Seattle, on NOVEMBER 25th at 6pm.
There will be snacks. And lots of love to go 'round.
So - when we were counting up what we had done, what we had left, how many frames we had, etc, we came up 6 frames short. Not too shabby for a three-year unorganized project, neh? So I went to Ikea to pick up 6 more Raket frames. Guess what? Raket frames were taken off the market. Why? Because Raket frames are dangerous. (I cut my hands countless times framing the first 65 fortunettes, then I learned how to wear preventative bandaids.)
So we are scrounging around our houses - it's just sort of unthinkable that those last six frames could run us $30 - they are on eBay- as they were originally $1.99 for three.
If any one reading this has any 4"x6" Ikea Raket frames, i'll totally give you a free fortunette.

No matter how many of them you have, I'm totally psyched to see your art hanging where it can be bought by the needy. are you going to have any other artwork by the two of you besides the incredibly lovely fortunettes there in a 'see it one night only' kind of way?
they are on ebay for way les than $30 for six.. maybe you figured that out already, but:

most people selling them seem to have a ton, if your first auction doesnt work out, email someone and ask em for a deal.
good luck, with the frames and the show.
