Art Inside Today..




Since our Michigan weather is not co-operating I had to move my art inside. Today I am working on making new brooches for my etsy site. They will appear later today. They are approximantly 2 and 3/4 inches in length by 1 and 3/4 at their widest point. The black one is made with genuine turquoise and coral nuggets, also added are glass silver beads. The red one is made with genuine turquoinse nuggets and glass beads. Both have metal pin backs which are wired on. Please check out my Etsy site:

Shadows


I couldn't resist this shadow. While at Sleeping Bear Dunes taking a break for lunch I snapped this image of Sylvia's legs under the table. Looks like she is wearing textured leggings.

Up North on the 4th of July






















Oh, what a wonderful 4th of July we had! My family; Mr. Lew, Sylvia and I decided to venture Up North. To take a little family vacation. What I mean by Up North is, we live in the state of Michigan which is divided into two sections; Upper and Lower. We live in the lower, lower western half of the state. We migrated north, to the most northern part of the lower portion of the state. A place called Mackinaw City. It is here we saw the fireworks of the 4th of July. What a wonderful clear night it was.
