IT'S AUCTION TIME !!!!!!!!

The biggest event we submit the hubby's art to each year is the annual C.M. Russell art auction and it is with great pride that I can now share this year's acceptance.

 

This year's piece is a 100% wood hand-carved 1890's cattle car, appropriately titled

WHEN YOU GET AN IDEA.......

I had been giving a lot of thought to tablewear recently.  I love setting a beautiful table and even a themed table.  Of course, these days I make most of my napkins, placemats, table runners, centerpieces, etc.  The one item for my dinner parties I have issues with are napkin rings, so I have spent a lot of time thinking about what I can do to make my own unique ones, then I came up with an idea. 

I wasn't sure my idea would work, but I set things in "plaster"

needed to get a little creative, but prayed my vision would work out

Now I can't wait to do more.....

IT'S BEEN AWHILE ..................

I've been very lax with posting any of my new works this past month, not because I haven't been working, but because I've been computer lazy and since I plan on being away for awhile I had better catch up on some of my new pieces.  Apparently I have not only been computer lazy, but camera lazy as well as I never took any before pictures and had to run down to the gallery to take pictures this afternoon for this post.  Thinking my New Year's resolution had better be to do better in this department.

I have done a number of new canvases...these are just a sampling....

A few new furniture pieces have also found their way to the gallery....

along with some new organizers...

 

I have also contributed a lot of "fall" home décor and new jewelry pieces, but didn't get those pictures before they found new homes.
