State Fair of Texas Artists are installed

Cissy sent this phono of installation at the Fair.  Hardy took a bunch, but I don't have them yet.  He also brought his video camera.  We will be on utube soon.  The installation was terrific.  Everyone was glad to see each other, so complimentary of each other's work.  Everyone helped everyone else install and that wasn't always easy.  We had fork lifts, but no crew.  There was so much great energy.  Can't wait for you to see the great pictures.

Creative Art Center and CityARTCal

Tonight was the big soiree at the Creative Arst Center with CityARTCal.  Artists collaborated on fused glass, metal, mosaics, paintings and fiber arts to donate to both the live and silent auction.  Proceeds benefitted the Creative Arts Center.  I've always loved this mosaic in the pottery room.   

I met Vet, a mixed media artist and fiber arts teacher.  In the following pictures you'll see her and her student's wonderful Diva Dolls.  I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of Vet, but aren't the dolls something.  

The donated pieces were great and showed how much the artists support the Creative Arts Center.  The auction netted some incredible deals for the bidders.  

Thanks to Sherry, Diana and Jennifer whose hard work pulled off a lovely evening for all.

Here's new friends and old.

White Rock East Garden/Artistans Tour

Sunday, May 18th, from 11:00 to 5:00, Forest Hills, Little Forest Hills and Casa Linda nieghborhoods are the place to be for the garden/artist tour. The artists I asked to participate last year will be back along with a few others. They've been working on pieces for the sale for months. Friends from Fort Worth I insisted on coming last year, (who didn't want to drive over) asked me months ago for the date this year so they could put it on their calendar. The plant sale will be across the street from the garden I'll be displaying my art. My garden is 8407 San Pedro Parkway. Every plant I've bought at the sale during the years has survived in my garden. That's a big statement for the killer plant queen.

Best part - the tour is free. We have raffle tickets to purchase and accept donations.

Mark your calendar today - Sunday, May 18, from 11:00 to 5:00
