Spring Garden Festival


Oregon Grape -State Flower
Spring has finally arrived in Oregon, after record rainfalls everything is blooming and green.
It is time to get out and enjoy some gardening and shopping.

I have been getting back to the metal shop, trying to come up with new ideas.
 One of the best ways I know how to do this is to work mainly from material that I have squirreled away over the years. One of my goals this season is to only use metal I already have in the supply shed.
It forces me to get out of my comfort zone of working with the same old parts that I know "work". 
It also encourages me to use those precious pieces that are "too cool" to use, I figure they might as well exist in a piece of Art where other people can enjoy them instead of some dark dusty corner of my shop.

Spring Garden Festival

 
 
 
New items for the Spring Garden Festival , Sunday May 5th
 
 






 
I have been interested in Mixed Media and Collage, lately. So I was inspired to try a little "scrap" metal collage. I have ideas to include some quilt rust pieces in future Metal Collage. These will be available at the Spring Garden Festival http://madisonavenuetaskforce.org/springgardenfest.html
 
I will also have my Garden critters and a few tables

A Parliament of Owls




Come see me and my new Owls at the Spring Garden Festival , Sunday in Corvallis.





First Owlet, maybe my favorite.


I don't know if this is very "owlish"? A little "clownish".





Owlets with wings.


It was very fun playing with all the Big Hootey eye variations. And Who knew there was so many shovel shapes?
