New art league location

Our local art league has a new place to have meetings,

to paint, to show, and sell our art.

It's a nice big room,

and we started setting it up today.

 About half of our members were able to help today.

These hangers are wonderful!

No holes in THESE walls.

 

Our

Artist of the Month

Peggy

OK, I'm set up and ready....almost.

Better move those loose papers.

Total pieces of art brought in today...

over 50!

Whew!

We still have a few things to do

before Saturday,

but it's looking great.

We love the space.

Savor the Day!

Mixed Media Art Necklace and Ice Pics

Thespa at Vintiquities Workshop is offering

free mixed media art classes now.

I watched her first video

and made this

mixed media rose necklace.

I used my rusted fabic, an old key

and a broken rhinestone barrette.

Thespa's video is easy to follow

so go check it out.

I made this necklace on
one of our coldest days.

We are 80 degrees today,

and that is hard to believe

because we were just in the 20's

and iced in.  No snow at my home,

but enough ice to close roads etc.

We are just not used to this kind of cold,

this far south.

But it didn't stay long.

When the sun came out the next day,

the ice starting dropping from the trees,

and I got tickled watching it from

inside the house. 

Every branch was covered with ice,

so it was quite a show

with all of it falling.

This little bird was trying to stay warm,

out in the sunshine, up against the brick

of the house.

 

My fox tail ferns survived the ice.

But these succulents did not survive.
These were blooming and the
butterflies were all over them last week.
Once the ice melted they were just mush.
I cut them back, so maybe the roots
survived and they will come back.

Stay warm everyone!

I continue to write,
as it helps me to.....

Savor the Day!
