Hi Everyone!
I can't believe that this is the last day of April. This month, year has just been blowing on by. A few weeks ago, to get a break from all the medical around here, DH and I took a ride down to Bandon, OR. It is the best town on the coast. The people are friendly, the stores unique, and great places to eat a meal. Also the absolute best quilting store. We spent two hours in that store. LOL It was a wonderful day. If you are ever on the Oregon coast you should put Bandon on your list to stop and play.

 I have shown this before but I love that the artists of Bandon take the garbage, that people think is ok to dump in the ocean, and create public art with it.

PPF RINGS n THINGS

 Hi Everyone!

First let me apologize for not making it to all of your blogs last week. "THINGS" life just got on high speed and before I knew it it is PPF again.  I do have some new art but it is storming something wicked here and getting a good photo was just out of the questions. It is suppose to be nice this weekend so I will get lots of shots. For now a big thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting Paint Party Friday.  I WILL be by to see all you this week.

I designed and created these rings more than several years ago now. 

 I cut, shaped and sanded base metal in different ring sizes, then cover the metal in deer hide. I used hand made fused dicro glass for the focal part of the ring and then beaded the finish. 

All of the rings here sold at one of the shows I did. They are very comfortable to wear with the soft hide.

Wish I could video the wind. It is just howling.

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 4/8

Hi Everyone!

This has just been a crazy busy week. On top of everything else I do, Monday doctor apt, renew DL. Tuesday Doctor apt. Wednesday Doctor apt. This one was in Eugene, about 80 miles to the dermatologist. Yep a biopsy on this weird growth on the side of my neck. Yayyyy. (sarcastic yayyy) the doc just called. She told me it is a sarcoma but not the bad kind. OOOKAYYYY.... smile. I have to go back in to have  a larger margin around the area removed.  Like I have said before, this getting old is NOT for sissies.

 So, today I worked out, cleaned carpets, and created. I have 4 textured sculpts that I started last weekend. These take time because of sculpting and drying time so I work on several at a time. This one is complete. I hope you can see the brightness and the shine to it. I did this one on a 10x8" flat canvas. I had to staple it down to a work board as the cement dried so it wouldn't bend the canvas. It worked out perfectly.  Here is,   

Photo taken in tungsten light so it is more yellow that in reality. 

 "Sun Burst"

10x8" flat canvas, secrete cement mixture, acrylic paints and varnish.

I am pleased with the depth of Sun Burst
