Open Studio Tour

Map of Verde Village 5

Here are the details of my first open studio. I’m teaming with 4 other women this time. From my house to the farthest house is only 1.5 miles. You could WALK!! (but then you’d have to walk back, so just drive)

I’m first on the tour – dolls, eyeglass cases, collages, bookmarks, cards, prints, acrylic paintings

Pam Fullerton – acrylics, watercolors, prints, cards, ceramics

Birgitta Lapides – paintings in different media plus prints, cards and bookmarks, handwoven and handknitted clothing and handpainted silk scarves

Diana Holladay – old masters style oil paintings, figures & portraits, prints

Jude Peterson – decoupage boxes, collages, stained glass

New Page and Other Things

Yes, there’s a new antique shop in Old Town Cottonwood!! And I haven’t even mentioned all of the old ones, but will soon.  It’s called “A Checkered Past Antiques” – what a great name!! I found many things to buy and the prices are great. 

 So, my new page is all about places to shop and eat in the Verde Valley.

Bras for a Cause #3

Brrrra

Here is my third and final bra for this year (here’s hoping they do it again next year as it was great fun and I still have lots of ideas…). This one took a very long time – lots of beads, tough fabric, icicles…

All of my Bras for a Cause are for sale at Quilters Quarters through the end of the exhibit. I’m asking that a check for $100.00 be written to Susan G Komen for the Cure, given to the staff at QQ and you get a bra of mine. That sounds so gross – all of these started out brand new before I started the embellishment process.

My mom had breast cancer several years ago. She is still going strong at 82 (and looking fabulous!). Many friends of mine have had the disease and a couple have died. Hope we can find a cure.
