Flowers, Fun Treasures & Fair Entries 2011

Below is one of the largest works I've ever done..I especially love it because I have a spiritual connection with the beautiful deer that are a common sight in the Adirondacks..I also love a nice walk in the woods and particularly enjoy the lovely birch trees and recall carving our initials in them as a teen.
Below is a lovely Glass-doored bookcase I found at an antique store..Great buy at $50.00! WOOT!
In the category "Creative Crafts" I entered this magnetic necklace and earring set that I created. It has Swarofski Crystals and Crystal rondelles which make it extra sparkly..perfect for an elegant event:
This next art piece is titled "Secrets"..The lilac bouquet is painted on a matte board and a secret message is written to my sisters throughout the petals..I painted on top of the glass frame to give it a 3-D dimension. I did one a few years ago and thought I'd give it another whirl.
This one is a favorite I entered under photography of a shot I took of my hubby enjoying the fall foliage..I LOVE the serenity of it and have it hanging over our desk in the foyer.
I only entered two this year under "Antiques" simply because of lack of time..I love checking out the antiques at the fair! "NIPPON EYEGLASS HOLDER"
