Sierra Art Trails Opening 2011

Sierra Art Trails opening this year was on Friday.  It started out quiet and ended quiet, but no rain storms, and not that hot. So the weather is good.  Last year it poured during the night and Kathleen's EZ up almost fell. It was scary.. but weather is expected to be good all week-end... I say with fingers crossed.
Lots of friends did drop by and some promising to come back.. The artists that were not open on Friday took the opportunity to check out other sites..

I am showing a bit of everything I worked on all year. Journal books, Pray flags, scarves, Gourds, and gourd necklaces, hand dyed, & stenciled T. shirts, hand dyed socks, woven baskets, earrings,

photography, cards, and dyed and stenciled napkins.  Magnetic bracelets, beaded necklaces.  Kathleen's booth was busy with people enjoying her watercolors. They are amazing with all the bright colors.. Maybe tomorrow, I will show another photo of her booth.

 One of my quilted kites is hanging on the back wall.  Oh, I also brought some of my photography and watercolor paintings...
In looking at all that I brought, I had a moment to ruminate about what keeps me happy. 
Creating Art.
Come by if you have an opportunity, tell us about the other locations.  When we are working Sierra Art Trails we don't have a chance to see what the other artists art showing.
