Woven baskets, pictures, nature jewelry The fiber art and jewelry for sale at the festival are nature-based, utilizing natural elements and featuring birds and other animals. The pine needle baskets are woven in colors that complement the semi-precious stone woven into the base. Much of the jewelry features stones I found at rock hunts, polished, and made into the jewelry or pine needle baskets and pictures. Nature jewelry includes images of birds or other animals made as close as possible to the actual animal. I have also woven, knit or crocheted various types of yarn into light-weight shawls and made nature images by quilting. We have just moved to Arizona, but at the New Braunfels, TX Art League I won 2nd or 3rd place in the 3D category for my jewelry at almost every show entered. |

The animals I select have particular distinctions which lend themselves to my style. Simplicity in design and a touch of personification, brought together with raku's organic nature, bring the creatures to life. |

EN_Glass Creation Handblown Glass Creations With each of my creations being made individually, they are all incredibly unique. This process of design ensures that each is distinct from the next and that duplication of any one of them is not possible. In addition, under the umbrella category of "glass blowers," lamp-work glass artists and and marble makers are rare, especially in this region. My designs are particularly distinctive for this reason. |

Andina Music and Hand Crafts Beautiful, unique, soothing, affordable, ahhhh! Jorge Vasco performs live “music of the Andes”. His pan flute music is easy listening, a delight to the ears and the mind. Jorge also makes many types of flutes from bamboo and other wood. Jorge and Lynn started designing their own line of ecological cotton out of frustration with all the unflattering styles. Our bundles of cotton arrive, we use a loom to make our material. Together we design styles that “fit and flatter” for slender, curvy and fuller figures. Our collection is timeless in style and ageless for the wearer. Every detail, cut, slit, and design feature make you look and feel it was designed just for you and your comfort. Per-shrunk, washer, no iron. |

All photos are printed on metal (aluminum). I feature the night sky in the American Southwest—a series of long exposures taken at night in Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and California. Photographing the night sky is a passion I just can't get enough of and I have been photographing scenery of this kind since 2016. Being out at night (mostly by myself) is incredible—sometimes fun, cold, scary, exciting; always inspiring.
