Fireside Sale = Phenomenal Art

Are these not the most gorgeous sunflowers! When I look at them, I see dancing, happy flowers cavorting in the breeze. Almost gleeful aren't they? I've never known an artist who could capture the great outdoors with such vividness as my friend Suzy. To see more of her work, head on over to http://artbysuzy.com/

I've never met a dragonfly like this one. Yet I forgot to ask it's name, as you can bet the artist, Katrina Miller, has come up with something fun and frivolous. I've shown Katrina's work before, so you know she makes the most wonderful Christmas ornaments also. To contact Katrina, just click on her name above.

Porcelain pottery with softly muted earth tones are a trademark of Marcia Bugg, long time resident of Brasstown, NC. If you're familiar with hand made pottery, then you're aware that glazes are a potters signature, and Marcia's unique talent with color is no exception. If you'd like to order a piece of pottery by Marcia, she can be reached through the folk school or e-mail me directly.

Utilitarian art is how I think of hand made chairs. Are these not exceptional pieces? If you work with wood, then you know the craftsmanship that goes into making such a functional item. Mr. Thomas Donahey has an eye for fine detail. To reach him, you may contact the folk school or e-mail me directly.

Do you recognize the technique? I didn't. But when I stopped by to chat with Pam Strawn, long time weaver, I learned that these are not only woven, but hand painted, sliced, woven, and framed. Pam's husband does the framing with native woods. I was impressed to say the least. To reach Pam, you may contact the folk school, or e-mail me.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
