Swimming Up Stream

Here it is 4 days before the Krasl Art Fair. The studio looks like a disaster zone,  partially finished pieces cover the work tables, the floor is crunchy with glass and packing material sits in "stand by" mode.  What happened to June?  Why will I never be ready for the next show?
We always look forward to Krasl.  A beautiful show in Saint Joseph, MI, on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan.  This year they celebrate their 50th anniversary.  What once started as a "clothesline" art fair in 1962 has now turned into one of the nicest, juried art fairs in the midwest.  I'm always excited when I get my "acceptance", but never seem to have enough time to finish all the work I want to share with the patrons.  Although, Bud (packer-boy) will disagree with me when it comes time to load all the new work in the van!

So, back to the studio to put the finishing touches on the new pieces.  'Hope you will stop by this weekend, July 9 10 a.m to 6 p.m. and July 10 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  We'll be in booth #181, just in front of the gardens across from the art center.

Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff

We're not bluffing! We are returning to one of our favorite shows in one of the nicest settings.
Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff located in St. Joe, Michigan has everything an art lover would want. As they say: "We are once again excited to have the top 216 artists line the bluff and have art lovers intrigued and delighted to see amazing art. The venue, atop the bluff of Silver Beach, provides one of the most spectacular views of Lake Michigan coupled with the high quality of artists, truly earns the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff its status as one of the top 100 art fairs in the nation."
Join us this weekend, July 9 and 10 in booth #182 (center of the show).
Along with "Diva Dolly", our baaaad A sheep (who looks as good coming or going) we have completed some great mosaic wall pieces, patio tables and goofy garden art.

More "Fowl" Art

A soggy Fourth is behind us, and we're looking forward to a great weekend in Saint Joe, Michigan for the Krasl Art Fair.  Set on a bluff, overlooking Lake Michigan, it's a perfect setting for an art show.  Great work, cool breezes and hopefully, cooperative weather both days.  

Even though we've been concentrating on making garden pieces for this show, I couldn't resist finishing up "Wired Rooster".  He's actually an indoor piece.  A mosaic, beaded rooster set in a chicken wire frame....more "Fowl Art".
