Art Show With Diane and Cousin Judy's Cactus Blooms

Last Friday I went to Davis to meet my friend Diane the quilter for lunch and art gallery time. This wonderful dragon and many other animal friends were on display at a store called Nestware. A store with wonderful art objects and furnishings. I saw some nice woven rugs that would look great on my soon to be new laminate floors too! Earlier we stopped in at the Artery gallery/store and enjoyed the art of many local artists. These are some super notebooks with soft covers that I believe are photos of painted works of art. I loved this digitally altered watercolor by Tom Post. The clothes pins are photos but the rest is paint!

Terry Busse had a whole wall for her art. Some I'd seen already at her other shows, but this piece was new to me as were some other woven pieces.

Sara Post had a big display of ceramic art wall hangings that were oh so beautiful!

This wall of felted art was by Annette of WonderWul. Her etsy store address is

You had to touch these pieces they were so soft and lovable.

That's a little mermaid sleeping in the abalone shell.

And her prices were written on smooth little river rocks.

A nice added touch.

Here is Terry Busse's art!

And I really liked this basket but did not get the artist's name, sorry.

I bought myself a little pin of an etched womans head that I thought looked

like me! I'll show it at another time.

My dear cousin Judy grows beauty in her backyard that is simply awesome. She has such a green thumb. When I asked if I could post these photos she sent me for Cactus Monday she said: "Of course. A strange plant makes a fuzzy wuzzy lump on the cactus... then comes an asparagus type shoot and bud then the badminton birdie bloom. It lasts only two days then it withers and droops, very unusual. J."

Happy Cactus Monday And thank you dear cousin!
