Bead Garden - Polyclay beads using cane method

I'm doing a set of 50 beads, for a workshop I'm conducting at the Texas Art Educators' Association conference in San Antonio in November. Each participant (50) will get a free bead. I find that the easiest method for positioning the beads for brushing on the glaze is to put them on toothpicks that have been stuck in a cork. They look like little flowering gardens to me, when displayed this way. My beads sell for $2.00 each for smaller beads, $3.00 each for the long beads.

Bracelets, in Greens

I couldn't make up my mind, whether to do a three-strand bracelet, or a two-strand bracelet, so I made both. Czech pressed glass, seed beads, with silver toggle clasp. The three-strand is $35.00, and the two-strand is $30.00. Approximately 7 1/4" length.

Dead Tree Branch Behind Old Pipe

There was this old dead tree branch, trapped behind a pipe. It was interesting. The size of this is 8" x 10", matted on grey, with silver frame. $65.00

#1702 McKee Street

This is part of a door on McKee Street. I don't really care to know what's on the other side. Photo, 12" x 8", matted in off-white and framed with a black metal frame, $65.00.

Rough Corner

This corner, in the Hardy-Nance Studio halls, caught my eye. I found the exposed brick structure, along with the receding horizontal lines, intriguing. Framed photo, 12" x 8". $65.00. (Black frame, off-white mat.)

Red Weave

This is a small weaving, made from the remnants of a large weaving that I had made. The medium is acrylic on watercolor paper, and it's mounted on watercolor paper. 15" x 9". Framed in a glossy red metal frame.  $65.00

Rocks 2

This is one photo - one of rocks, etc. outside the Hardy-Nance Studios, and the same rocks, put into photoshop and manipulated.

Hall Flu

This caught my eye while I was bored out of my mind at the art show... framed in silver, matted on off-white, 10" x 8", $65.00.

This was actually taken by my granddaughter, Kelli, while she was in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. I like the abstract design that the lights create.

Beach Lines

This is the "Beach Lines" painting from the show - acrylic, framed, 24" x 30". $695.00.
This painting was awarded a "2nd Place" ribbon at the Woodlands Art League show in April 2013.

Art show September 2012

This is me, with my art wall at the art show. Some paintings, some photos...

Holly reached the end of the trail.

She was such a good dog. This was taken two days before she died.

Three-strand Pearls

This bracelet incorporates pearls in lavender, cranberry, and pink; round faceted crystal beads, bicone crystal beads, small green Czech druk beads, and small roundelle beads in purple. There is also one large olive green bead, and a couple of bicone beads in olive and light blue.The jump rings are sterling, with a small toggle clasp. This has been donated as an auction item for the annual Czech Center Museum Gala on the 25th of August (2012). Beginning bid: $50.00, valued at $65.00. Sold.

Magnolia Leaf

This is a small piece, 12" x 9", made from a printmaking process that involves inking an object (in this case, a real magnolia leaf) and then printing it several times. The printmaking ink is applied with a brayer.Several layers are developed until a pattern is achieved. In this piece, I used white, greens, blues and some violet shades. The leaf was very cooperative - it didn't fall apart during the whole process. In the classroom, with my students, I used realistic artificial leaves, and they held up very well. This piece is going to be an auction item, matted and framed, as part of a fundraiser for the Czech Center Museum here in Houston. Minimum bid: $50.00. Valued at $200.00. Sold.

At the Heavy & Alternative show, JoMar Visions gallery

I'm on the left, and daughter Christina is on the right. I had seven pieces in this show at the JoMar Visions Gallery on July 20-21, 2012. I chose a variety of works, as opposed to having several variations on the same theme. Others did differently; there's no accounting for taste, as they say! Many of my pieces began as demonstrations for my students, thus the variety. There's no fun in doing the same thing, over and over, when you're the student in an art class!

Caribbean Blues

My grandson, Sammy, and me at one of the art shows in which I participated this Spring. The painting is one of my pieces, Caribbean Blues, an acrylic piece,that was in the show. $400.00 for the painting; grandchild: priceless. Sammy is going to be four years old, on my birthday. We're both 9-11 people. Oh - and I'll be 70. (2012)

Big Blue Weave

This piece measures 20" by 16". Again, this is one of those monoprint/woven pieces that I enjoy making. These weavings combine my love of weaving with my love of color combinations that are soothing to the eye. The smaller piece for my son and his wife was made from the left-over strips that were used in this weaving. $175.00, matted and framed.

Small Blue Weave

I made this out of the pieces of paper from a larger piece. This was given to my son and his wife, as a gift. I'm glad they like it.

GRASP

This piece, called "Grasp" was lost in the environs of my house/storage area for quite a while. I found it recently, and put it into a show. It's mixed media - gesso, gel, acrylic, markers...it measures 16" x 20", matted and framed. Sold.

The Big Board

This is the bulletin board that I left on the wall outside the art room, when I retired. I wonder how long it will stay there - it's been there for about three years now. No one wanted it taken down! I believe it's eight feet by four feet. Something like that, anyway.

The Big Weave

This is a woven piece, about 28" by 24", with mat and frame. These are created by making a monoprint  from a painted sheet of watercolor paper, then weaving the two sheets together. The paint used is acrylic. You have to work quickly when pulling the monoprint, so the paint doesn't dry before you've made the print. $175.00.
