View from the gallery

I am way excited to have work in a local gallery. They want more pieces but that is the scary part. They accepted the works from our member show but to take other pieces to be criticized for entry is making me a nervous wreck. Of course I like all my art but not sure if it is want they want. It has been too cold to work outside with the encaustic so no newer pieces to give. Question is should I just take old work or to take longer to create new?

Getting Ready for Christmas

Already wasted the morning with chatting and breakfast. My son and husband both seemed to need some words from me. I would prefer to be working on my commissioned piece. I did modify a bracelet into a necklace for a friend. Easy breezy, but hoped it would spur some creative mojo.

My Wednesday night group had a very nice time making snow bottles. Lots of different approaches with some of the same materials. We also tried to plan a Christmas Party. I didn't concentrate on the party planning so I only got the date. I'm sure we will tie down the details on Wednesday.

Worked on some pins to make garlands for Christmas cards will post later after they are finished. Wish I had some new thoughts but have picked up ideas from other posts and blogs. Sorry I cannot remember where or I would give credit.

This is a portion of the watch parts and pieces that I got at a local estate sale. Could not believe the price she had for these. Further north and it would hve been out of my reach. Loved sorting this incredible find.
