I give up!

Okay, obviously I'm never going to post on a daily basis. However, I will try to maintain once every week to 10 days. I didn't win the Visual Arts League Show- gee, big surprise, my entry was one of two 3-dimensional pieces there. But, the good news is that a girl came up to me while I was holding a piece (Seaside Cross- see the July 1st post) and said she liked it better than anything else she had seen. The best part is that I was holding it because it wasn't accepted into the show, and I was getting ready to take it home. So, someone likes my stuff, even if the "artistes" don't.

Here is the piece that was supposed to be July 5th. It's a mix of glass beads and polymer clay.

Catch-up!

Well, I missed yesterday, so here's 2 today. Both are from the Texas Waters series. First is Summer at Galveston. I'm not happy with the picture- it drapes much better on a human neck. It has glass beads, freshwater pearls, and Hill Tribe silver accents on a silk cord. The second one is called Fall at Fairfield. It is mostly jasper with freshwater pearls,copper, and some beautiful fibers that don't really show up in the picture. Fall at Fairfield is another piece that is being entered in the Fresh Ideas show. Enjoy!

Texas Waters

As promised, here's the next of my posts for the week. This necklace and earrings are from my Texas Waters series, which will eventually celebrates 4 different Texas lakes or seashores during the 4 seasons. We'll start with Spring at Grapevine, which includes sterling silver, freshwater pearls, wire mesh ribbon, kyanite, and these really great blue and brown slices which I've never been able to identify, but they look good!

Ouch again!

Okay, so it's been a month since I posted again. Sorry about that- we've had some changes around here. My husband, Rob, started working from home, and he is usually on this computer. That shouldn't be a problem, except that my laptop is really configured to run from the network at school and doesn't like to be separated, so it pulls all sorts of stunts like refusing to connect to the internet. Add to that Elora is in a play and rehearsals have been tough, and, well, this blog got pushed to the back burner again. To try to make up for that, I will try to bring you a new piece each day this week. Some of these are going to the Visual Arts League Lewisville show Fresh Ideas, so you can get a sneak peek online and then see them in person if you're in the area.

Starting us off... Seaside Cross. It's polymer clay on a wood base and measures 9" by 6.75". There are real pearls and tiny seashells attached to the cross.
