March of Dimes Silent Auction

I was recently invited to participate in a event to support the March of Dimes. I felt honored to have the opportunity to contribute to this cause, while doing something I love. Those who picked up something for themselves or as a gift, did so knowing a portion of their purchase would go to support the March of Dimes. It was a fun event and a win, win for all involved.

Sweet Liberty Creations

I recently made the trip north on US Highway 281 through Marble Falls to Liberty Hill, Texas to visit Diane Kipfer at Sweet Liberty Creations. Diane made a whole new selection of work for the gallery including the items below and more, just in time for holiday shopping...

On my way home I stopped in Marble Falls to visit with a dear friend, who broke away from her computer where she runs Hour Glass Fashion to join me for lunch, at the legendary Blue Bonnet Cafe. I make it a point to carry a bit a cash anytime I will be remotely close the Blue Bonnet Cafe as they do not accept today's credit card currency. The food is good, the prices fair and did I mentioned the PIE. I always leave this place on a heavenly sugar buzz from the mile high mirage on my favorite coconut cream pie. It's a good thing I live an hour down the road or I'd have to buy pants with elastic waist bands.

Inspire Me Thrusday - Tree

-

-
The above photographs are sections of two 11.5 x 15" framed pieces containing relief prints made using gold Hanovia ink on soda lime kilnformed and torchworked glass. Devoid of leaves this tree's naked structure lies exposed to winter's elements. The leaves which once generated nourishment will later provide a different kind sustenance in the rich black earth they create. One does not exist without the other and yet independently both the tree and the leaves hold thier own beauty.
