Dragonfly

On July 18th, Robinson's Independent Grocer in Huntsville is holding their Annual Second Chance Charity Sale. Gently used items from all over Muskoka are donated to the cause, cleaned up, organzied and sold in a giant garage sale style event, with all proceeds going to charity.

The best, nicest and most interesting of the items donated are set aside for a silent auction. In addition to these second hand items, new items are sometimes donated to be auctioned off, including this handmade dragonfly pin I've been working on. His body is wet felted, his wings are free motion embroidery. He's about 9.5 cm long, with a wingspan of 9 cm.

I can't quite decide if he's finished or not....I feel compelled to add some simple decoration to his tail, but have yet to come up with anything that works for me. So we'll see. I'm planning to make another one, maybe in red. I'll post some pictures of that, too, when it's finished.

Let me know what you think!

Sorry, Steve

For a Good Cause

Hey everyone! I just wanted to announce that I'm participating in another show. This Saturday, June 20th, the Peace, Loving Festival is taking place at Rock Ridge Park in Huntsville, Ontario. Starting at 6am with a sunrise ceremony, the day features drumming, belly dancing, group mediation, entertainment, more dancing and all sorts of activies appropriate to the summer solstice, which is the following day. There will also be yummy food and vendors selling goods, including yours truly. Proceeds go to Canlove International.

So if you're in the area, come by and check it out. It costs $10 and goes until 10pm, and looks like a perfect way to spend a sunny summer Saturday.
