Interesting Ideas

Walking around the show at Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair we saw so many interesting things…and great ideas.  And the funny thing is we went all the way to Asheville only to find the best new idea by an artist from our own town – Front Royal.  Melissa Yoder Ricks with Wild Hair Fiber Studio had this interesting loom to make these terrific pieces of weaving that can be incorporated into hats, sweaters, etc.  I loved them.  I’ll be experimenting with it soon. Check Melissa out here.

20171026_052527.jpgI am so proud of Logan.  Just look at this amazing painting she just completed using ONLY a palette knife.  AWESOME!!!  I can’t believe she is a senior this year and will be leaving us soon to go off to college.  She’s been painting with me since she was about 8.  I often tell people what a terrific student she has been.  She is one of the best color mixers I know.  Did I mention I am proud of Logan???!!!!

Another Starry Night

We had another Starry Night Paint Party last night and look at the beautiful paintings these painters created.  Beautiful!!!  The one painting shown without the artist is actually fondant.  A cake artist did it for a cake she is making for her mom that is featuring a sewing machine on the cake with a quilt hanging off.  The Starry Night will be the quilt.  Lovely idea.
