The Coyote Art Spring Sale

Saturday I spent the day at the Coyote Art Sale down in Seattle. The sale is to raise money in order to help give low income children a chance to do art. It’s usually a very busy sale, but this year it was very slow possibly due to the economy. The weather was outstanding. It was one of the first beautiful days this spring.

It was still a wonderful day, so much enjoyable art to look at and fun artists to spend time with.

I took pictures of some of the artists work to share with you. I’m including their websites in case your interested.

Happy Birthday Payton!

It is my youngest son's birthday. He is at University and I miss sadly. I made and sent him this cake.

The Rooster is Finished!

Hurray!! The rooster is finished!

I finished up by adding the red beads and filling in the lower back. I filled in the places I missed and glazing over the top to secure the beads. Here are all the steps leading up to the finished Rooster.

I hope you had a great day.

Almost done

I'm almost done!

I think it will take one more day to finish the rooster. Today I took a picture of the tail to show you.

Have a great day.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

My sister and her girls live in North Carolina and they all love pink flamingos. I thought it would be fun to decorate one for each different holiday. Here is the one I sent for Cinco de Mayo

Next step with the Rooster

I'm moving along "slowly but surely". I've added the brown and white stripes and you can't see it but the inside back of the tail. I'll be sure to take a picture of the tail on the next sunny day and add it to the next stage.
