drive to the ocean

I'm finally getting around to sharing these photos from my birthday a couple months ago.

Enjoy!

take a walk with us

My Mom and I can't believe we live so close to the beach now.  I can hear the ocean as I write this.  It's so amazing!

murder of crows

In June, my Mom and I participated in an art show/silent auction hosted by The Frugal Crow.  Each year the vintage shop puts out a call to artists and crafters to transform a metal crow figure.  The pieces are displayed for a few weeks and then auctioned off for a local non-profit.  Customers are also encouraged to vote for their favorite crow.  It's a fun project!

My Mom's crow

"One if by Land, Two if by Tree"

Materials: gesso, tissue paper, dictionary pages, gel medium, acrylic paint, plastic doves, thread, and handmade paper

She really out did herself.  Impeccable work as always! 

My crow

"Seamstress for the Fowls"

Materials: gesso, sewing patterns, gel medium, cloth measuring tape, thread, embroidery floss, buttons, tiny scissors, and nail polish

  I was so pleased with how my crow came together.  The piece was inspired by Elton John's song, Tiny Dancer.

take a walk with me

I took a stroll along the railroad tracks in Wheeler yesterday afternoon.  It's one of my favorite spots to  view all of Nehalem Bay and Neahkahnie Mountain in the distance.  

Hope you're having a lovely summer!
