Coweta Samaritan Clinic

I am helping with the decorations for a local fundraiser, Bluegrass and Barbeque.  It benefits the Coweta Samaritan Clinic which offers medical care to residents of Coweta County who are without medical insurance or the means to afford care. (www.cowetasamaritanclinic.org)


The event is held at a fabulous place, Dunaway Gardens (www.dunawaygardens.com)



I have had this "banjo man" for years and thought I would use him for the bluegrass theme. I don't know who the artist is but I am crazy about this guy.

So I decided the "banjo man" needed others to add to his group. 

So we have "guitar man".

And "fiddle man".

The event is September 9, 2012.  I will post some of the other decorations as I get the photos.

"SANTA"

This Santa is headed to "The Vintage Flea" in downtown Newnan, GA for the Christmas Open House this Sunday, November 14. If you are in the area, stop by and take a peak. The Vintage Flea has wonderful art and lots of great gifts.

This Santa is made with a piece of wood that I found on the beach. I added paint, beads, buttons , etc. and he is ready to hang.

Spent Ten Days At The Beach .....

I just returned home after spending ten days at the beach. While I was there, I took some time to work on some of my "junk" art pieces. There are a couple of shops in the area that sell these pieces for me. One shop is The Grove in Mexico Beach. It is a very cute shop with great items (www.thegroveofmexicobeach.com)
This piece is made from a piece of driftwood that I found on the beach.

"FRANNIE"

"FRANNIE" is another of my junk art pieces. This mask is made with another piece of wood that I found on the beach. The earrings are from the 80's - lovely aren't they. I also added buttons, metal and little wooden pieces. These masks are fun to make because I use anything that I can find.

I'm headed to the beach this weekend and hope the weather will be warm enough for beachcombing. Hopefully, I will find some wonderful "treasures".

"LULU"

"LuLu" is another of my junk art pieces. This is another piece of wood that I found on the beach. I used bottle caps, wire, pieces of wood, jewelry, shells and beads for embellishment. The 1980's earrings that she is wearing belonged to one of my sisters.

I then drilled holes for the wire eyelashes and her beaded hair. She looks a little sad, doesn't she?

"WEEZIE"

This is another junk piece made from a piece of wood that I found on the beach. I added paint,beads, buttons and jewelry.

Went to the beach last weekend and had some good finds: 3 sharks teeth, a couple of pieces of wood, great big eyeglass frames and some great shells.

We also saw some interesting sea creatures that had washed up on the beach. (We threw them back in the ocean)

It was a little cold outside, but we had a great time.
