It’s Happening! Corvallis Fall Festival

 The beautiful Fall Festival is back!

September 25 & 26

Corvallis Fall Festival

I even had a chance to make some fresh masks with some of my rust and indigo dyed fabric. 

For me and my faithful helper to wear during the festival.

The Fall  Festival board has installed extra precautions such as sanitizer stations and redrawn the layout to allow more spacing. 

And of course wearing masks is required. 

And we thank you!

Fall Festival 22 &23 2018

One week to go!

I am finishing up some final projects today, for the festival. We will get mostly packed up this weekend, it will give me a little breather before set up on Friday.

I have a bad habit of thinking of things to create..right down to the last minute!

Its hard to stop when you are in creative mode.

Garland Art and Wine in the Garden

It's time for a Garden Party!

I'll have some of everything on display in the Garden this weekend, bugs, birds, heart, snails, you name it I might have it.

CowBirds on Guard Duty

The stand is made from an old cattle guard...it is a cattle guard that I tiptoed 
across many times in my youth. This sculpture will be going back to its roots to live on the ranch from where the cattle guard scraps originated.

Boxes of Birds

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.
