Getting Something done.....

  Navaho  mixed media
 
A chilly and cloudy Saturday that threatens rain was a good time to frame up the paintings for the guild show in June.  The one above has been hanging in my southern studio for a while waiting for it's frame.  This was a fun one with collage, paint, stamps and whatever on mat board.  I had thought not to frame it with a mat but like the white around it so did the standard.  It looks good I think.  This gives me three nice framed pieces for the show, plus the large on birch if they want it. They will go south for exhibits there.
 
I've got some sketching tools ready and hope to get out today or tomorrow for some much needed work in the field.
 
We spent last weekend in CP working on centerpieces and favors for wedding and shower.  It was fun to gather all the pieces, trays, teapots, candlesticks, vases, glassware, linens, and old books, all vintage and many from the whole family.  We set the dining table then built each centerpiece, determining whish pieces would have flowers.  Paige reviewed and Karen photographed and stored each one carefully to be reassembled on the wedding day for the reception.  I wish I had a photo to show you but forgot...in all we did 25 tables.  They are beautiful and I'll take photos at the wedding to show.  Paige's favorite design turned out to be one of the last ones and had something from each family in it just by chance.  Lovely!!!
