New Houses and Grand Opening Pictures

 I took a couple of new size houses with me to the Grand Opening of Second Saturday Studio (SSS).  The green one is shown above, and the the blue one is shown below.  They are quite a big larger than the small ones, but a lot smaller than the largest ones that I completed about a month ago.  I like this size much better. They range from 6 inches to 7 1/2 inches tall.  They are much easier to handle, as well as display on a shelf or cabinet. 

Below is Christie standing by her beautiful jewelry display.  She is another artist that is displaying her art (jewelry) at the studio. I just met her on Saturday and I enjoyed talking with her so much! I look forward to seeing her more in the future.  We had a nice walk around the downtown square, where she told me about some of the old places there. 

Here is a photo of the studio wall that is filled with paintings.

 On our walk around the downtown square, I took several photos with architectural details.  They were very interesting.  So here is a photo of the beautiful courthouse in downtown Searcy.  It is about a half a blog from the SSS.

Below is a photo of me standing next to my paintings and some of my mini houses (in the bags).  This is definitely not a flattering photo of me, but I'm going to post it anyway, although I hate it!  I must have a talk with my dietitian and trainer! (haha...that would be me and me)  I definitely need to start walking 4-5 times per week.  We'll see when that will happen. Hopefully I can keep that 75-78 class reunion in mind when exercising. 

Just went back and edited this post. I was very tired when I originally typed it! Guess I shouldn't type when I am sleepy!

The Grand Opening of Second Saturday Studio...

...is this Saturday. I will be traveling to Searcy to attend the grand opening day at the Studio.  Although it has been open 2 Saturdays already, they are celebrating the Grand Opening of the Studio this Saturday with give aways, food, fun, and lots of beautiful artwork for sale!  So I am going to stay with my parents, who live about 30 minutes away, and spend Saturday in Searcy, meeting with the other artists and, hopefully, lots of visitors coming through during the day.  I certainly wish all of you lived close enough to come by to visit, but since most of you do not, I will take pictures to share next week.

As an update to what I am doing in the studio, I am still glazing and creating more mini hearthomes, in preparation for the trip to Georgia in May.  Tomorrow (Friday) I will be unloading the kiln, that has lots of glazed and unglazed houses, along with lots of student pottery. So it should be fun to unload the kiln in the morning.  It is always exciting to open it up to see how the glazed (finished) pieces have turned out!

Have a great weekend and if you are in central Arkansas, please stop by The Second Saturday Studio, in downtown Searcy.  I will be there all day!
