GrowNebraska CEO visits our gallery and studio

Great visit with Janell Anderson Ehrke at the gallery and studio a couple of nights ago. Janell lives across the state and just has not been able to stop in until now.  It was great having her visit and share ideas.  Incidently, she loved our place. Janell snapped this shot of me in front of Kitt's lovely scarves and Sharons art quilts.

Always Learning More

Fun day yesterday at University of Nebraska, Omaha.  Great presentation on doing business with the government and also socialeconomics presented by two very capable representatives of GrowNE, Heidi and Erin.  I continually need to brush up on different aspects of social media.  Today I have some of our wearable and glass art available for purchase at the GrowNE booth at the National 4-H Extension Agents Conference in Omaha.

My visit to Nebraska Museum of Art

Glenn and I visited the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney, NE over the weekend. We got to see a felted wall piece done in the 1800's. It was a felted mosaic. We have never seen anything like it before. It was lovely. Also got to take some pictures of the cranes that were to be auctioned off soon. They are made out of fiberglass and were all tied together to keep from getting damaged in the wind. Took some photos. May share them later.

Classes in the planning stages

nuno felting scarf, felted sun, felted coneflower ......pics will be out soon....remember, they are still in the planning stages. Lots of interest in classes....stay tuned.

Anne Lullie is a fantastic art quilter....I am so excited to have her blouses in the gallery. Some day, maybe quilts!

Great Tuesday!

Made a quick trip to Lincoln,NE this am. Saw some beautiful artwork and fabric. I am on a mission with my new find in the fabric arena....just a bit of cotton and some paints.....should look great.

Created some very cool pins with felting method over the weekend...added some beads...Wow, they are great. Will probably take them with me to the HGA event in Albuquerque soon. Looking forward to the fiber tour in Santa Fe and the classes I will be taking. Also hoping to meet up with my glass etching teacher, Ruth Dobbins. Glenn will be "in charge" at the gallery.
