Finally we have a beautiful day......

....perfect for dragging out all my cool junk components and get started on those big architectural collage projects. I have lots of new ideas, and hope the weather cooperates until the next show so I can get them done....

.....so many possibilities.....

.....and it would be nice to see the walls of the garage again.....

Lakewood show is this weekend......

Wow......it has been a great show so far, and it's just the first day! As always, it's so much fun to see all our friends again......




more..Lakewood show this weekend......

I got busy with the wire and came up with a new design for a hat stand that doubles as a centerpiece vase for flowers when you put a glass in the holder.....


The above and below pics are the photo/book holder design I debuted last show. I made about 8 more for this show and they are almost gone after today....

Window frame/tree branch wall display.....

I love to save tree branches from my yard, and when I saw Dawn's (The Feathered Nest) recent post of her truly marvelous new collage using a tree branch, it inspired me to use some of mine for a quickie display piece for the show. (I only have one day left, so it had to be an easy project) This is nothing like her beautiful art work, but it was simple and fun, and hopefully functional.

You can hang all sorts of things from the branches......

Topless sugar bowls could hold some ivy.

Vintage purses, gloves and hats. There are lots of possibilities........some small frames with family photos would be fun.

Spectacular sunset in Sarasota......

I didn't get to go to Cancun like Sea Witch.....or Aruba like Kay......but I did get to go home to Sarasota and see my family over New Year's, and even though it was a little chilly, the beaches were stunning! The pics of this sunset don't do it justice....it was amazing, and there was a wedding on the beach right at that time----I bet they thought the sky was decorated just for them!
