MOVED
It has been a very busy couple of years and I haven't been anything in the creative line for awhile. Hopefully, that will change as I get more organized. I'm missing every aspect. The design work, beading and photography. Loving Guelph.

Commissioned Necklace for Liz
This necklace was commissioned by my friend Liz Schamehorn's husband for her birthday. He wanted to have the birthstones of her children and grandchildren in the piece. A challenge but a joy to create. Google Liz to see her amazing art.

SUNFLOWERS
STARRY NIGHT
The next art event here in Orillia is Starry Night, an evening when Peter Street is closed and galleries and studios will be open to the public. Restaurants and other businesses will also be open and will feature art exhibitions. My co-op gallery, Zephyr, is located at 11 Peter Street South and we always look forward to this exciting evening. This year it is on Saturday, August 22nd. I'm working on two very intricate pieces which I will show here when they're finished. One is a seed-beaded embroidered bracelet and the other a mini "Starry Night" pendant honouring Vincent Van Gogh.

Sometimes we have a surprise guest.
Another Mariposa Folk Festival
Part of my display featuring Karen Hill Tribe pendants strung on semi-precious stone necklaces.
Another Mariposa Folk Festival has come and gone. It was a lovely weekend, albeit cold and windy, with my friend and stained glass artist, Lesley, from Guelph up for the the weekend to help me out. My friend Irene came up from Michigan for her annual weekend of volunteering at the festival and stayed with us.. We all had a great time. . The musical highlights for me were Daniel Lanois, Stephen Page and Buffy St. Marie. She's nearly 70 and she can can still tear the house (or stage) down.
