Ned Egan, Artist Tucson Arizona

If you are ever in Tucson, drive in the Sam Hugh's Neighborhood (near the University) and see Ned Egan's open air studio. He has been working with recycled metals for over 30 years and has a wonderful playful imagination.

Mary Hard at Work!

My sister Mary and I took a deconstructed silk screening class here in Green Valley.

Blooms in the Desert

The desert is blooming.

Color everywhere.

Pink, purple, white and red.

Even white.

Gem and Mineral Show, Tucson Arizona February 2012

The show celebrated Arizona's 100th year as a state with a great display of the different gems and minerals found in Arizona.  Of course we also hit the vendors selling those and much much more.  If you haven't ever experienced the annual Gem and Mineral Show you are missing out!

Gourd Festival February 2012 / Casa Grande Arizona

My sister and I took two different workshops at the Gourd Festival in Casa Grande, Arizona.

TURQUOISE MOUNTAINS

This quilt was created for Association of Pacific West Quilter's auction "Spirit of the West".  It is one in my deconstructed series.  I have posted before and after pictures so you can see what it looked like before doing the discharging, dyeing and painting.

The first picture is the quilt once it has been pieced and quilted.



The second picture is the quilt after all the surface design has been completed.



MARY'S PIN CUSHION

My sister Mary felted a baby hat that ended up being to small even for some dolls!  Well, I could not let all that hard work go to waste so I created a pin cushion for her and sent it back for her birthday.
