Intake for HH3   

And intake begins.....Elaine Meinhart's cement leaf vessels.  Very cool!

 

They are formed on a sand mound then a concrete mixture is place over a natural leaf or leaves. Because each leaf reacts to the drying process you never know what the final product will actually be until it is unmolded. Once dry the leaves are sealed.

 

The concrete leaf vessels can be used as bird and butterfly feeders, bird and butterfly baths, or display dishes.  You have to see them in person to appreciate their beauty. 

 

Mark your calendar now and plan on doing your holiday shopping at 'some things looming'

CALL TO ARTISTS !!!!

 

Page Turner

 

Exhibit Dates:  

April 5 through May 18, 2013

 

The digital era is altering how we read books so we wanted a challenge that alters the way we perceive books.   Whether it be an altered book or incorporates pages of a book, 'some things looming' challenges you to create the ultimate ....Page Turner.

 

Our major requirements for this challenge are that you incorporate fiber techniques and any parts or pages of a book (preferably ones that would be discarded anyway).

 

Receptions:

First Friday, April 5th - 5:00 to 8:00 pm

Saturday May 18th - 1:00 to 3:00 pm

 

Entry fee: $30

 

All work must be original, one-of-a-kind, made by the artist submitting the entry.

Artists may submit up to a maximum of three works, completed within the last three years, to be in the exhibition. Entries must be postmarked or electronically received by February 15, 2013. No Exceptions!
