I’ve been invited to participate in a show at the Noyes Art Gallery for the month of October along with artists: Jan Pippitt (Mixed Media), Connie Backus-Yoder (Fabric Art), Julie Lemons (Pastels), and Donna Pozehl (Gourd Vases).

Parking is available in the garage North of the gallery, and there will be refreshments. I’m so excited to finally unveil my Tree of Life in Four Seasons series. I’ve been attempting to make this pattern for the last few years with unhappy surprises sneaking out of the kiln. But, the series has finally come together and I’m so happy with how they turned out!

Still reading, huh? You probably want to know what’s the deal with me and the gun? Oh, well, okay...

So, my husband had never shot a gun before until just very recently. That’s not because my dad hasn’t been trying to make it happen (but that’s a whole ‘nother story involving a trip to Canada in the RV with a .357 gun under the bed). Well, we were finally able to make it out to the shooting range and shot off more guns and bullets than I ever thought I would. I capped a metal chicken at least twice! I look so in charge with the gun, though, don’t I? ;)

Well, I hope to see some of you this weekend at the Lincoln Arts Festival. I’m still finishing up a few pieces that are in the kiln as I write. Hope you’ve had a great summer!



Thanks for reading and feel free to forward this to your friends!
