Art is everywhere you look for it...

Art is everywhere and in many things,
from paintings, jewelry, clothing, furniture and more.
 I recently joined the local art league,
and we are showing our art at
the Blue Quail Designs galleria downtown.
The Blue Quail sells jewelry, boots and more.
The jewelry and even the boots are all beautiful examples of art.
I will try to get photos of each in the future.

You can see art everywhere!
Even in the signage of shops,
the shop window displays etc.
The Blue Quail is right next to the King Ranch Saddle Shop,
where the famous King Ranch sells not only saddles,
but beautiful clothes, furniture, jewelry,
pottery and much much more.
All pieces of art in their own right.

The Conner museum quilt show is winding down.
All quilts are art as well, whatever size or media they happen to be.

The other day I took some of my local stitching friends
to the show, and while there, a friend from Mexico
 (Loudves, I'm sure I"m not spelling your name right)
 came in.
She paints on fabric and adds beautiful ribbon work to the design.
Another type of beautiful art and design.


Here is a close up of her work.
The photo does not do it justice,
but the 3D ribbon work is so delicate and beautiful.
Her paint colors are very bright and bold.

If you would like to know more about ribbon embroidery
I don't know many who do this type of work anymore.

I see art everywhere I go,
and I'm just amazed!


“Art is everywhere you look for it,
hail the twinkling stars
 for they are God's careless splatters”
