Here's Proof!

Thank you Dylan...great photo of our booth and first place ribbon at the Arts in Central Park, Decatur.

We are set up now in Clinton at the Apple 'n Pork Festival...great weekend ahead!  Wonderful weather has been promised.   We're looking forward to it!!

Great news in Decatur!

Last Saturday at the Arts in Central Park in Decatur, our work was awarded 1st place in Jewelry!!!!

Judges were Jane Camp, Heartland Community College instructor in painting and drawing, and Randy Reid, Illinois State University instructor in jewelry, metals, and sculpture.

I will have proof when our friend Dylan sends the photo of the booth and ribbon.  (I forgot my camera.  So it's handy to be friends with an award-winning photographer!)

The loverly piece above is bronze with a silver bead embedded, strung with handmade bronze beads, Czech beads, and wonderful long, skinny Smoky Quartz.  I think it is one of my favorites now.

Tomorrow we'll be back at the Downtown Farmers Market, Bloomington, IL.  Space #4 across from the music on Jefferson St.

Next weekend is the great Apple 'n Pork Festival in Clinton.  Lets hope the weather gives us one more weekend without rain. 

Arts in Central Park, Decatur, IL

This Friday evening through Sunday we'll be taking part in the art show in Decatur, held in the beautiful Central Park located in downtown Decatur.  Friday evening is from 5pm to 7pm, and is quite a lot of fun!  There is a great band, and the committee puts on a wonderful feast for art patrons and artists.  

Saturday hours are 10 am to 5 pm, and Sunday 10 am to 4 pm.  This really is a very nice art fair, and the coordinators do a great job.  Great art and a beautiful setting usually makes for a great time.  Now if the weather will cooperate, all will be perfect!!

The Bronze jewelry class has a few openings, scheduled for October 6, 1:30 pm til 4ish, at 318 N. Main, Bloomington, IL.  It is a fun class!  Contact me at artjools@frontier.com, or Mary Lynn at the store at stitchinggirl_2000@yahoo.com for more info or to sign up.
