Recently I finished another Found Object Mandala. It was inspired by a donation to my stash ... the never-before-used paint brushes! THANK YOU! The red juicer and trivet came from a thrift store in Starkville, MS. I bought them during my art residency at Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge.

I'm already at work on the next piece but I'm also hand-stitching on additions to Patchwork, my new obsession/installation. Yet, I have other events too! On Sunday, Steve and I are setting up at a local neighborhood art sale called the Melrose Art in the Yard event. I hope the weather cooperates!

I don't know which is funnier... Juicer or glasses!!! Thank you for the smile on a miserable rainy day.
It always amazes me how you can think up these designs, they are wonderful.
