Pollinators and Posies

Here is the unglamorous side of art shows. If you have a tent of any sort, you know you never, ever put away a wet tent. But when thunderstorms are approaching, you do what you have to do to get to safety. Now it's time to dry out and pack everything neatly.

I have been working diligently on this piece for a few weeks. I picked the antique frame up during horrendous storm/tornado/flooding weather (to be fair, I thought I was driving during a gap of clear weather). I had to cut glass for it and messed it up. I finally sealed up the back and packed it for a show. I unpacked this piece at the show only to discover I forgot to wire it, so I couldn't hang it. UGH

The back is now wired and ready to roll. See it at the Berea Arts Fest this Sunday in booth #40. I can't wait to see you!

I love learning about symbols and their cultural meanings. I am not sure where I first saw a hamsa hand, but it has been around for centuries in various cultures. It offers protection to those in its possession. Who needs protection from the evil eye?

Look at this chocolate sunflower! Why did I only press one??? I told myself I was done pressing sunflowers, but I may have to break my rules!

When we bought our house 5 years ago, it came with a little pond made of a hard plastic shell. The pond had a resident frog to my delight.

After a couple winters it died. That spring, I rescued a toad that was drowning in the pond. Unfortunately, it found its way back into the pond and drowned. Why? Those plastic ponds don't have a "beach" or way out. Time to redo the pond.

I redid the pond and made it out of a flexible rubber mat. I made sure there was a deep end and a shallow end that ended in a beach. Since then I have waited for a new frog to move in. Today I met it!

The small things make me so happy!!
