New Photos

Hey there folks, I want to share a few photos of our art gallery this past Saturday. We did make a few changes from our show in the spring. Instead of doing demos, we had Make-it, Take-it sessions going on at several tables. I made wire butterflies, the other artists did origami, altoid tins, and handmade books. Everyone stayed busy, and I think all the library patrons that wanted to, took several finished pieces back with them.

We, also added a new category, this time, called "of Goth and Strange", and here is a shot of that display...


It turned out pretty yummy, after all. It was a stretch for some of the group to come up with something of this sort, but we all did ok.

Here is a shot of several displays, just to give you an idea of their size....

There were also some nice fabric pieces that were being shown. Fabric art, dolls and quilts....




If I had to pick a favorite display, it would be the Collage Display. In, what I think is an unusual twist, the Collages were almost all portraits...


I hope Marnie doesn't mind me showing this next one. I think she told me this is her first attempt at painting a face. It is so beautiful. I am touched by it for a reason I just can't seem to describe. See what you think....


The next shots are of our weather last night. We had the warning beeping, and blinking and flashing across the television...




So, since I am trying out my black and white setting on my camera, I stepped out on the deck and took this. Not as spectacular as I had hoped, but I like it anyway...


Here is the color version of the same sky, it's pretty cool, also. I love storms, but you have to use good judgment. I didn't stay out too long after this...

We actually got very little, if any, rain. It went around us, but wow, those treetops were swirling around and the clouds were moving quickly. It was pretty awesome.

Well, that's all for now. I hope to have something else for you later . Have a great rest of the week and try to remember to take care of yourself, as well as your loved ones. Talk soon.
