antiques, art and collectables

loblolly general goods, 813 main street, bastrop, texas, is now carrying my ceramics. sweet!

it was a gorgeous day on the green

and lots of people came out to see what area artists had been up to. here are a few things that were offered for sale. bottom two photos, my booth; middle photo, my neighbor for the day, andrew, the blind weaver (!); top two photos, gersonartworks' whimsical sculptures. i love the thermos head!

threepots

these new pieces will debut at "art on the courthouse green." sponsored by the bastrop (texas) fine arts guild, the show and sale on the county courthouse lawn will run from 10 am to 4 pm on saturday october 24.

time traveling...not!

so, i was supposed to be part of a renaissance fair in april 2010. It seemed like a fun idea to make a little money while traveling back in time. but, because of the sluggish economy, i and my would-be fellow merchants had to drop out. i'd already started making things evocative of the period to offer for sale. i'm posting a few in my etsy store.

dreamtime

in addition to ceramics and a full time job, i built and maintain the website for dreamtime animal sanctuary in elgin, texas. The shelter has cats and dogs, of course, but was mainly established for large animals: horses, donkeys, burros, and the new throwaway pet, the pot-bellied pig. last week, an amazing 12-year girl who had visited the sanctuary, gathered up some of her belongings and held a garage sale to benefit dreamtime. amy ended up donating $200 to help feed the animals. you can read her story here.
