I’m back!

After weeks of my blog not being available/accessible, it appears that the blog is back. It’s still a mystery, but at least now the problem, whatever it was, seems to be fixed.

I’ve been anxious to share some of the publicity photos that Dan Kvitka took of my new paper-tiled mirrors. He really did a great job. He also took some new photos of Note Totes, a notebook, and a few pins. I’m hoping to be juried in to the Wild Arts Festival in November. It’s a fundraiser for Portland Audubon Society and it looks like a very nice show. I made up a few pieces that would fit with the Wildlife theme, had Dan photograph and format them for jurying purposes, and sent them in. Now I’m crossing my fingers!

Here is my third mirror. It has a leaf motif and a quote on nature from Henry David Thoreau. I included this image in my entry packet to Wild Arts. Below is another image I sent in… a notebook featuring an embellishment of a crane.

Hopefully the judges will like these. It’s a bit nerve wracking, putting your art out there for others to judge and waiting to hear if you’ve been accepted. Wish me luck!

    Thanks Helen. Purple is one of my favorite colors, too. I love all of the jewel tones! I wish the jurors at Wild Arts had like the notebook as much as you did… I didn’t make it into this show. Oh well, maybe next year! ;-)
    Yes, Bob paints. That’s another thing we have in common. I see that Mario also paints. You are a creative couple!
