"Merlin" - our motor home's first outdoor exhibit!

Hand painted ceramic tiles with hangers


 
 Promotional sign created by the property owner, whom I had not met until show day.  
What a nice thing he did!


 Command Strips made hanging the crosses an easy thing.


 Collaged wood blocks with images of cups and pears

.
Art dolls from the Vanessa Collection 


Easels made display easy. 


 Card rack with greeting cards and note cards with my images on them.  A big seller that day!


View from the road.  Perfect weather and a wonderful and successful day!

Postcards ....

I have been collecting  a box of tiny scraps of paper, along with copies of some small art pieces done long ago.  Today's project (because, of course, it is still raining), was to make some postcards using all those old scraps.  If you have scraps in a box, make postcards!
