It's been a while since I have blogged but over the past few months the studio has been undergoing a metamorphosis. Actually, I guess it could be compared to a Phoenix rising out of the ashes......literally. Most people who have visited the studio and gallery know that we have an apartment above us. On March 15th, 2015, the apartment above A Creative Art STUDIO had a kitchen fire. No one was home that day but I was told that the electric burner had been left on and a fire broke out in the kitchen. We were lucky in so many ways in that we were open and were able to discover the fire, the fire department arrived very quickly and our damage was limited to some smoke, soot and water from the hoses. All the water came down the middle of the building instead of down the walls which were covered with Denton's beautiful artwork. In the beginning it was thought that we would only be closed a few days for repairs. but now a few days have turned into a few months. My son was able to put together this video taken on the day of the fire. Check it out.<br />

We are extremely grateful to our wonderful Denton Fire Department and their quick response and measures that saved our art. <br />

Two years ago I felt that I needed something that would help people find the studio so during a hot August week I decided to create a flag. At first I wanted to do a complicated triangle pattern but it was soon abandoned for a flag that could resemble the look of stained glass and was a little easier to sew. Using rip-stop nylon and my trusted sewing machine, "Old Arty" was born. Feeling a little like Betsy Ross, my flag flew proudly in front of the studio. Unfortunately a rip-stop nylon flag out in the Texas heat and winter cold....should I mention rain and hail.... doesn't last more than a year. Once again the holes are patched, the rips are repaired and my flag is happily flying again.<br />

One of my favorite artist, Mick Burson, was the featured artist of the month. His work is fresh and clean with a focus on the home. Many of his works are done on wood panels with paint and stain and often looks like wood inlay. Most of the work on exhibit is from his series "I should have stayed Home". Our "Girl Power" Music was provided by Cassie Kidder and Julia Runge. This was the first time they had performed at the studio. Singer/songwriters are soulful performers and the crowd was not disappointed. For our community art project we took to the sidewalks for chalk art. Music, art and friends make a great combination for a Friday evening.<br />

</div>
On March 9th, 2013 we had an "On the Shoulders of 35", a music happening featuring the incredible music of local Denton. Fritz Schwalm, leader of the group Uver, led the way creating a wonderful day of music and art. We had nine bands play at the studio. Did you miss this event? Check out our photos of the fun evening.<br />

The studio is located just off the square on Oak Street and nothing is more fun than to deck the halls in the studio, make a large vat of Wassail and celebrate the season. At this festival we featured the Denton High School orchestra Ensemble. Music filled the Gallery with the sound of the holidays and delicious Wassail was had by all. What's my secret ingredient in my Wassail? I'm not telling.<br />

July 4th was a very busy holiday week. After a very special July 4th and Twilight Tunes community art project on July 5th on the historic downtown square, we had a wonderful First Friday event at A Creative Art STUDIO. Music was kicked off by Unon Y Mous, a local guitar duo that features Will Frenkel and Andrew Wahlert. Following Will and Andrew, Kylee Pannel, singer-songwriter, impressed the crowd with her beautiful voice. Richard Haskins sung from the heart and wowed the crowd. We had several artists demonstrating art techniques that they will be teaching in upcoming classes. Ava Dunlap showed studio visitors how versatile hand built clay techniques could be. Tina Alvarez, who is a trained touch drawing facilitor, demonstrated the technique that she will be teaching in August and Crystal Nelson took gelatin and showed how you could use it to make beautiful prints. I love Volkswagons and so to continue the VW community painting theme, we painted a VW van using acrylic paints and sponges. Both the bug painting and VW van painting will be used for the Main Street event, Arts, Autos and Antiques which is held on the Denton square in September. Check out our photos!<div>

Last Thursday Denton had the final Twilight Tunes performance on the square for the season. This evening Lisa Markley, UNT graduate student, performed for the crowd. We were asked to set up a community art project for the event so I decided since I love Volkswagens so much, the community painting would have a VW theme. I drew the bug on some recycled plastic material and stretched it on cardboard and everyone used sponges to apply the paint. The Denton Community Market was also set up with their wares along with other community minded businesses. This was just a great event and lots of fun meeting new people. Denton is one of six cities that has been nominated for the most fun city in the USA and I think it is events like this that make Denton so special.A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-22770350232800703862012-07-01T21:40:00.001-07:002012-07-01T21:40:59.955-07:00First Friday with Lisa Markley and Bruce Balmer, May, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First Friday Denton began in February, 2010. On the first Friday of each month, A Creative Art STUDIO sponsors a free music and art evening for the community. In May, 2012 songstress Lisa Markley and singer/songwriter and amazing guitarist, Bruce Balmer performed at the studio. The weather was great so they performed out of doors in the back. As the sun set, an incredible golden light filled the sky which did make for some interesting photos. Storms surrounded the area and the crowd was able to see quite a light show from the lightning during the performance. The great evening was filled with art, nature, music and friends.A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-19850620884065965512012-06-02T14:19:00.000-07:002012-06-02T14:19:02.845-07:00Jazzfest, Denton, TexasJazzfest is the big festival in Denton, Texas. Each year it is held in Quakertown Park the last weekend of April and brings incredible musicians to the city. (Of course, Denton is filled with many incredible musicians and I am lucky to have many of them play at the studio). They have several stages including the UNT stage which features the ever so talented University of North Texas students and the famous One o'clock jazz band. This year A Creative Art STUDIO decided to have a booth at the Jazzfest. Great music, nice weather and lots of art prevailed. I was located just outside the Civic Center and I am hoping I will get the same spot next year. Check out my booth pictures.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since opening the studio in 2009, I have always wanted a public piece of art that all could enjoy. Mick Burson, UNT student, artist and general all round wonderful person was the person to do it. With lots of paint, a very tall scaffold and nerves of steel for heights, Mick carefully primed, laid out the design and painted this incredible piece of art. His friend, Chris, wanted to learn from Mick about painting murals and was a great help through the whole project.
The mural took three days to complete. (Did I mention that I thought that it would take a few weeks?). Watching Mick and Chris paint the mural was like watching dancers on the wall. As the colors unfolded I knew that this would be a gift to the City of Denton that many people would enjoy.
Thank you Mick, Chris, Bill, Ann, Gi Gi and all who helped this dream become a reality.

Trophies were offered for the winners of certain classes of cars and I was asked to paint hubcaps as the trophies. This project at first was somewhat daunting but once I got started it was really a lot of fun. One of my favorite cars is a mustang so on one trophy I painted a classic red mustang and then on the other hubcap I painted an old model of an Olds. A Creative Art STUDIO also had a small booth on the Courthouse lawn and we set up a children's art station. We had a table where kids could make their own stamps and stamp art and work on a community painting. Even people's pets wanted to paint.

It was very hot outside (107 degrees that day) but the art in the studio was very cool. Stephanie Allen and Brian Ward kicked off the show with wonderful Jazz followed by the Boxcar Bandits. You will be able to view or purchase the beautiful art by our local artists until mid November when A Creative Art STUDIO and Gallery celebrates our 2nd birthday with a new show and once again wonderful music.

Coming from a stained glass background and working with hard pieces of glass, I find so much satisfaction painting with watercolors and watching the colors flow. Like glass, I love the intensity of the colors when painting on Yupo paper. Yupo paper is a synthetic water-resistant paper that is made from recycled polypropylene pellets. That means that when used with watercolor, your paint will dry only by evaporation and there will be no absorption by your paper (as would be with regular watercolor paper). Painting on Yupo you can get some of the most intense colors and there is sometimes a feeling that the paint is really in control. In the recent watercolor class at the studio, the students painted on Yupo. Check out the pictures of the students and their paintings in progress. Lots of fun! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTWy3zMD6SbOEJ6mgV77dRTnQC9Z028CE1KKSwXdfc7K0NtGA92dcPzSg-eUsC8KkqyVYhX5VJm21QzFd8wgoAi4R9PfKZDIfl9th0XItKo1vBqvxG4lB-1ltTaV3DhIQDlH0rMzkQ40/s1600/Working+on+Yupo+1.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTWy3zMD6SbOEJ6mgV77dRTnQC9Z028CE1KKSwXdfc7K0NtGA92dcPzSg-eUsC8KkqyVYhX5VJm21QzFd8wgoAi4R9PfKZDIfl9th0XItKo1vBqvxG4lB-1ltTaV3DhIQDlH0rMzkQ40/s200/Working+on+Yupo+1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637842139335529634" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjqwYeFpYM7Cm6eMXIoFR56r2VXcLdZzcRHYHoudzutfrli4LB4js0Jimnv2ZSr-QCupP0VmXZW2B-Bq2QZn99en-2w2bxvGh5jsH4YTHBhEJqaZr3cpWpFVeiJZBtKpE6hIIq4KVioB0/s1600/Working+on+Yupo+2.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjqwYeFpYM7Cm6eMXIoFR56r2VXcLdZzcRHYHoudzutfrli4LB4js0Jimnv2ZSr-QCupP0VmXZW2B-Bq2QZn99en-2w2bxvGh5jsH4YTHBhEJqaZr3cpWpFVeiJZBtKpE6hIIq4KVioB0/s200/Working+on+Yupo+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637842130699527602" /></a>A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-73332100788672156622011-07-31T14:10:00.000-07:002011-07-31T14:18:00.449-07:00Creativity with Glass<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv7hIrkoDDj0oBlMZmJm-X-ZhFlTW7-6cBUP4UW4mVeAqoVg20aD0FhmC6JQa7pLtaOdeoumjmowL0a2CHNyeFesFt383ul6Wi9UHuPW4t906H-N76Okpg8pEv-dcwH9FXN2pNpROzrzw/s1600/July+Stained+glass+class+3.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv7hIrkoDDj0oBlMZmJm-X-ZhFlTW7-6cBUP4UW4mVeAqoVg20aD0FhmC6JQa7pLtaOdeoumjmowL0a2CHNyeFesFt383ul6Wi9UHuPW4t906H-N76Okpg8pEv-dcwH9FXN2pNpROzrzw/s200/July+Stained+glass+class+3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635628563225147730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFh1c5wRdyDj9bC3L9mJRuWZEr6kY6ZqUOXr5brun6mnQt4jN2PH-W7NjuHaq3G-iTSSN5Hs2XEyZXS1ZX6wdznzz5u7L26lICfbXbBWOuTegs-oYZhtXarMAXRmHzGvmLn2sEIS1kKEQ/s1600/July+stained+glass+class+2.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFh1c5wRdyDj9bC3L9mJRuWZEr6kY6ZqUOXr5brun6mnQt4jN2PH-W7NjuHaq3G-iTSSN5Hs2XEyZXS1ZX6wdznzz5u7L26lICfbXbBWOuTegs-oYZhtXarMAXRmHzGvmLn2sEIS1kKEQ/s200/July+stained+glass+class+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635628559539091282" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuY5kTf9P5kAlvzc9WQ5Me3e5pqQ5Zl3jdMdla9ab5RlAt2HK64jPn5_z6aByY8j_lH3CZk7PdmCA5yTlj3Hdk_K2VtNJ8fJ7Lk6qrkC_uFfaf6RTO_QAn4qIGVq9C40VXoGrM9fIM9fE/s1600/July+Stained+glass+class+1.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuY5kTf9P5kAlvzc9WQ5Me3e5pqQ5Zl3jdMdla9ab5RlAt2HK64jPn5_z6aByY8j_lH3CZk7PdmCA5yTlj3Hdk_K2VtNJ8fJ7Lk6qrkC_uFfaf6RTO_QAn4qIGVq9C40VXoGrM9fIM9fE/s200/July+Stained+glass+class+1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635628558069593650" /></a><br />Tiffany stained glass is a type of stained glass assembly that uses an adhesive copper foil and tin and lead solder. This July the Tiffany stained glass class met twice a week for three weeks. The first class the students made a small hummingbird suncatcher and the second class began their larger project of their choice. When the projects are complete, I will post photos of their beautiful work. Here a peek at the class and their projects in progress.A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-72856595627199580232011-07-30T19:39:00.000-07:002011-07-30T20:08:46.157-07:00Bead Class<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRQqjYJ-IgGGRsh0WPvZBiuWBm8cSQAcBOPPfkh33kICnanVG6kmBK9i37GpCOHnkA1Dbu2fwvIcX_LGGyh7_y0iPh9FrLAGewTcdgXbfFGDy9a461kiE9iN6EFluNiITAkVdWpn3fRkA/s1600/Happy+Beaders.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRQqjYJ-IgGGRsh0WPvZBiuWBm8cSQAcBOPPfkh33kICnanVG6kmBK9i37GpCOHnkA1Dbu2fwvIcX_LGGyh7_y0iPh9FrLAGewTcdgXbfFGDy9a461kiE9iN6EFluNiITAkVdWpn3fRkA/s320/Happy+Beaders.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635346406370722722" /></a><br />Recently I taught a class on basic beading at the studio. I have always loved beads and their beautiful bright colors remind me of stained glass. One great advantage of working with beads is that you have something portable to take with you where ever you go. In the first class of basic beading the students learned some basic wirework and beading techniques and made some beautiful beaded necklaces and earrings. Pictured are some of the students modeling their creations. In the second class students learned to make a bracelet using a basic wirework technique and a bracelet using stretchy cord. The secret in using stretchy cord is to tie a good knot and use a dot of glue on the knotted cord. The last class in the series involves making a pendant using collage and stained glass techniques. First the students created a small collage using paint and images, then sandwiched their creation between two pieces of glass using lead free solder. The pendants are reversable with an image on both sides. Lots of fun to make and wear.....Robin<br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PyOY6SWY6Wzv1TuGX9eFfgvL7MmbArVDMh_kkG9CPnycY_YOSl2NYdjmxwNFdpXBgLhWCdUwivUeB426d4l4oNpDmCxxqCal5uA6VrDAhppbOQGENyPWw-rT-T_LO-BukQqT9q_dT3s/s200/Collage+and+Soldered+Pendant+Class.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635346666606813074" /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiQQl4RtdiheRr7HxhutPwsbQ0o3R20V5qeUrDOkDOZx5mf3m6NKMOKULLC9AIuUJM760s53hFLDZMfM6lDpZZqkE2oe2srlEZmfS6BcX1gO4hq0sU1odAuZAl7OPmCeZ89ctMpbXYIfE/s200/Closeup+of+soldered+Pendant.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635346668494972466" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidU-9a9R-m3zOnvtFWW0PrTkLF_IqPS7l-RIkeKOVR8Quj-8zNxq97adwr0uuNE_kVSEA9XDPdOtC1T59AMGosjASbIYH33UBgd6k257HOkV5AYRYEWINQwBYfKpkhBJ4djGFjrJ8dYgQ/s1600/Finished+Soldered+Pendants.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 122px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidU-9a9R-m3zOnvtFWW0PrTkLF_IqPS7l-RIkeKOVR8Quj-8zNxq97adwr0uuNE_kVSEA9XDPdOtC1T59AMGosjASbIYH33UBgd6k257HOkV5AYRYEWINQwBYfKpkhBJ4djGFjrJ8dYgQ/s200/Finished+Soldered+Pendants.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635346670021163218" /></a>A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-48117831127224519212011-07-07T21:40:00.000-07:002011-07-07T21:51:05.213-07:00Industrial Street Bash<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIk08XnCtrf1jD4g1pReW4S4RpBiMOzf2vHJdRPxFZdgY-DhrSjx6OYpTPoTLShUn7gJsWD31IO9UTfiZpawdGKs0x39Pfy8ed58dTmGKSI3VDld__howvhyphenhyphenDXGSrBZWtlKGHstK28zig/s1600/Industrial+Street+Bash.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIk08XnCtrf1jD4g1pReW4S4RpBiMOzf2vHJdRPxFZdgY-DhrSjx6OYpTPoTLShUn7gJsWD31IO9UTfiZpawdGKs0x39Pfy8ed58dTmGKSI3VDld__howvhyphenhyphenDXGSrBZWtlKGHstK28zig/s320/Industrial+Street+Bash.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626839290369381474" /></a><br />A Creative Art STUDIO had a booth at the Industrial Street Bash in Denton in early June. The weather was hot, Hot, HOT but the day was still enjoyable. I took a sampling of art to the Bash so that people could become familiar with some of the items at the studio. The music was great. Boxcar Bandits kicked off the celebration, but I was glad to get some air conditioning at the end of the day. My secret to survival on this hot day: a scarf filled with ice around my neck and lots of water!A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-11975751794742991712011-06-21T23:00:00.000-07:002011-06-21T23:00:11.162-07:00Sculpting a Face Class<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPyqeoSzlDwNRhCfX454ew_t4xtNbA-GBw1GSWaEAkgh-rBTteRfda7WRbtkIAP8XADuMHpH772ikntnm-LARi9g3rrRQS8-_W96HpQ5t39uUvQYyK3VpBWG0p9Wc70ZXNbqWBdKhwxU/s1600/Shaping+a+face.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPyqeoSzlDwNRhCfX454ew_t4xtNbA-GBw1GSWaEAkgh-rBTteRfda7WRbtkIAP8XADuMHpH772ikntnm-LARi9g3rrRQS8-_W96HpQ5t39uUvQYyK3VpBWG0p9Wc70ZXNbqWBdKhwxU/s200/Shaping+a+face.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620159065708461106" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx2PL7WymNYvpFxfzDF9VdHLpQsQYnPOoRU2hnLU90AMkpdOQQfehEA8XGUKjLr2dLbE3jB0SjdhUt5by-zKk2FGiIjUUdRvQTC6AJlISJkrI8dmfexb54KuzqZ8RWk-Q2NrKDuqCurMI/s1600/linka%2527s+class+shaping+faces.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx2PL7WymNYvpFxfzDF9VdHLpQsQYnPOoRU2hnLU90AMkpdOQQfehEA8XGUKjLr2dLbE3jB0SjdhUt5by-zKk2FGiIjUUdRvQTC6AJlISJkrI8dmfexb54KuzqZ8RWk-Q2NrKDuqCurMI/s200/linka%2527s+class+shaping+faces.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620159054316352386" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfYSJYxnoYKbKcog_YLPKQJljrS_pPfH8ilBSy_V0JqAbhwH5oiWVL6-fUuJqJ-Qc_NV5qYDhvLKAxRzwpP0fdEY2yecSIScC_jqZX16YT-7vEmgNLxrZxtZFZU8M8KIriqfZEQ7L_a8I/s1600/Linka%2527s+class.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfYSJYxnoYKbKcog_YLPKQJljrS_pPfH8ilBSy_V0JqAbhwH5oiWVL6-fUuJqJ-Qc_NV5qYDhvLKAxRzwpP0fdEY2yecSIScC_jqZX16YT-7vEmgNLxrZxtZFZU8M8KIriqfZEQ7L_a8I/s200/Linka%2527s+class.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620159050368530386" /></a><br />May 24, 2011: Linka Behn recently taught a class on sculpting a face with air-dry clay at the studio. If you are familiar with Linka's work you know that she often paints faces and is able to capture so much emotion and feeling in her work. In this class she taught the students to create faces with personality using air dry clay and simple clay tools. When completed the faces could be mounted on a pedestal or added to a work of art. Nice job guys. Those faces definitely had attitude!....RobinA Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-57567111357711308572011-06-19T21:53:00.000-07:002011-06-19T22:02:03.098-07:00Beautiful Stained Glass<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9BzOWyyweHcpK-vIyDG8d6imjArTVToEHXYLQEhgyXL6Ul_jvRK9wlXrq4xvnS3ie6H3XN-KfqWJh_Yy4ArghrYBuEfY_cFd0ZMB_Az4J2vjIxBTQLijS78Gegk2lBdZHRpG5tZ8UdWM/s1600/Stained+Glass+job+log+cabin+bar.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 358px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9BzOWyyweHcpK-vIyDG8d6imjArTVToEHXYLQEhgyXL6Ul_jvRK9wlXrq4xvnS3ie6H3XN-KfqWJh_Yy4ArghrYBuEfY_cFd0ZMB_Az4J2vjIxBTQLijS78Gegk2lBdZHRpG5tZ8UdWM/s400/Stained+Glass+job+log+cabin+bar.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620162363891685458" /></a><br />Recently I did a commission job for a couple that lives in a log cabin near the Oklahoma Border. This stained glass was to be installed in a home bar that would be backlit and the design was to have a Native American flair. The stained glass took about three weeks to complete and is now in it's new home. I loved working on this window and found such joy each day looking at the beautiful colors.A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-22062344506481912252011-06-19T20:51:00.001-07:002011-06-19T21:36:41.131-07:00Encaustic Monotype Workshop with Deanna Wood<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Y4WZKo372CipZ7TeCibGRPtDj1wgmFMrwzhLq7O9dYtcCpCESdKCqAPjSb3Jfp1NRp8-BoKyd4OL22yS3_WvnRzvVe3B4Dps3ZihGKFeHwzCRnHWYIpE3L_mTHjL2bhI_aApkEbzvhM/s1600/Encaustic+class.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Y4WZKo372CipZ7TeCibGRPtDj1wgmFMrwzhLq7O9dYtcCpCESdKCqAPjSb3Jfp1NRp8-BoKyd4OL22yS3_WvnRzvVe3B4Dps3ZihGKFeHwzCRnHWYIpE3L_mTHjL2bhI_aApkEbzvhM/s200/Encaustic+class.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620156188052596834" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNdiG-P1NqpR8pkmARFvkRJcoZg-6t1pXfNj1QX8cTMcabMPMPaOL3PhGd1cOa1ONlqjoX4axKyCCt4F_gyaiGFeZH_uvDNU670bz6GWetqY_XY1QlaQh35A0hWkSuXYmmulqfCWsCDyQ/s1600/Encaustic+Wax.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNdiG-P1NqpR8pkmARFvkRJcoZg-6t1pXfNj1QX8cTMcabMPMPaOL3PhGd1cOa1ONlqjoX4axKyCCt4F_gyaiGFeZH_uvDNU670bz6GWetqY_XY1QlaQh35A0hWkSuXYmmulqfCWsCDyQ/s200/Encaustic+Wax.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620155884930335762" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74UWEmu-EP3bQ43XXIurzzLA64U8IBymvSGWbx0CwVR4lO7hWS5JB4wDarphlHswZD2nz1VEqnV7LV2RlaOjmop2ToXEHx4afplvBFWymWn30PBQkiVGSHuuGPumBweyLy5dVlItQKWQ/s1600/Fun+Tools+for+Encaustic.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74UWEmu-EP3bQ43XXIurzzLA64U8IBymvSGWbx0CwVR4lO7hWS5JB4wDarphlHswZD2nz1VEqnV7LV2RlaOjmop2ToXEHx4afplvBFWymWn30PBQkiVGSHuuGPumBweyLy5dVlItQKWQ/s200/Fun+Tools+for+Encaustic.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620155883255508066" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNLbF8b0fGPYbtP4IRuOy6O-AwBrJIhplbfd96feCV7RuqhtqeG1tOUViO-W1qFDVvt10iyBF9-UYunj7i7HwKoVp52Lz1TI-dJHIA9k8TjQc1Wt5RkqsabE6d_w6ao5sqOKOowryUiz0/s1600/Deanna+and+Sharon.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNLbF8b0fGPYbtP4IRuOy6O-AwBrJIhplbfd96feCV7RuqhtqeG1tOUViO-W1qFDVvt10iyBF9-UYunj7i7HwKoVp52Lz1TI-dJHIA9k8TjQc1Wt5RkqsabE6d_w6ao5sqOKOowryUiz0/s200/Deanna+and+Sharon.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620153979447681282" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgy-ep0KPJ84WVgASZpZj9EXX4iXDQ5DGRw7WJp3P5FEZvz_iowI8Xj5HlAnQkLmj04oS-Hc8WksFfxWKCe8IC0o1UfIzO2dpz09WkbJbQ25iaunXqhNN1JANj2eUZ5-SnLKA6IC-ha-Y/s1600/Encaustic+monotype.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgy-ep0KPJ84WVgASZpZj9EXX4iXDQ5DGRw7WJp3P5FEZvz_iowI8Xj5HlAnQkLmj04oS-Hc8WksFfxWKCe8IC0o1UfIzO2dpz09WkbJbQ25iaunXqhNN1JANj2eUZ5-SnLKA6IC-ha-Y/s200/Encaustic+monotype.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620153771523616386" /></a><br />In May, Deanna wood gave a workshop on Encaustic Monotypes. In this process you use the encaustic technique to create beautiful one of a kind prints. Encaustic has been around a long time. In fact, encaustic painting were used to depict Mummies in ancient Egypt. The process uses wax and pigment which can be used to paint images on surfaces or to embed images into layers of the colored wax. Lots of possibilities with this medium.

Fritz Schwalm, singer/songwriter was a definite audience pleaser with both his original and cover tunes. Linka Behn, artist extraordinaire, lead visitors in creating the community abstract art painting. This masterpiece was created with signatures of people at first Friday followed by everyone painting in all areas created by the signature's intersecting lines. The results are pictured and I think it came out pretty neat. The art is always amazing at the studio and also changes frequently so stop in and see what is new.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-16882435044542036272011-05-11T21:29:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:46:04.823-07:00First Friday with David and Vanessa<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoP-aXtu8PGvSMYovhIFyBFu7GmvU9XbZAA9ou8Jajz_jdtufp5WenGxEw9Dx6kLE8b1kgMBinakiWk_SASsSf54d6s3P7uZSxC_dwDoD7VLr3N0B0iAL_vNGRlC6vm8Pu-2coj-RI7sk/s1600/David+and+Vanessa+playing+at+May+Opening+1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 196px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoP-aXtu8PGvSMYovhIFyBFu7GmvU9XbZAA9ou8Jajz_jdtufp5WenGxEw9Dx6kLE8b1kgMBinakiWk_SASsSf54d6s3P7uZSxC_dwDoD7VLr3N0B0iAL_vNGRlC6vm8Pu-2coj-RI7sk/s200/David+and+Vanessa+playing+at+May+Opening+1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605686698216614162" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmdtiYPz27VlJbZlU3s1kU8m9s4tK_EH0EPd4S3X8NwGHazhscTtowcMyMrWpR-UCjwe2JXAlxOZy82PYKZsuv0oaIf-AGkWEzWP5BPvgp15HFIuvxdY_0AIBCJMMyViB5kf8oV628wzQ/s1600/Community+Collage+at+First+Friday.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmdtiYPz27VlJbZlU3s1kU8m9s4tK_EH0EPd4S3X8NwGHazhscTtowcMyMrWpR-UCjwe2JXAlxOZy82PYKZsuv0oaIf-AGkWEzWP5BPvgp15HFIuvxdY_0AIBCJMMyViB5kf8oV628wzQ/s200/Community+Collage+at+First+Friday.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605686276705983410" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_pFdb5Tusww1okdmWJGTD4vChbH7HvZoddEAefPlDcD5whfquIzHNk7aeGIsC1eeHY5ZWlEqnpip8nVm-qTKKx_sSGZ3vZe1aUc2CJkl4gh29ga71IOFhgK9BG1g5dYk9_b7hiErX-TQ/s1600/First+Friday+Crowd%252C+may%252C+2011.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_pFdb5Tusww1okdmWJGTD4vChbH7HvZoddEAefPlDcD5whfquIzHNk7aeGIsC1eeHY5ZWlEqnpip8nVm-qTKKx_sSGZ3vZe1aUc2CJkl4gh29ga71IOFhgK9BG1g5dYk9_b7hiErX-TQ/s200/First+Friday+Crowd%252C+may%252C+2011.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605686276914734258" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We had a wonderful First Friday, May 6th, 2011. David White and Vanessa Helvey played on the back patio. Just in case you didn't get to come, they sounded incredibly wonderful. Although a little hot during the day, the temperature cooled down just as David and Vanessa began warming up. Linka Behn, Kerry Boutell and Crystal Nelson all were demonstrating art in the front Gallery. Linka demonstrated sculpting faces. She will be teaching a two day class later this month and share her face sculpting secrets. While Kerry worked on watercolor Batik, Crystal introduced ATCs, better known as artist Trading cards. We also kicked off our third community art project this evening with a large collage that everyone could work on. We will keep adding to the collage until it achieves that magic look that says "I am now art."....Robin </div>A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-19586857716181446922011-04-24T15:51:00.000-07:002011-04-24T16:14:21.641-07:00Time Flies When you are having fun!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9WLdebRHNtCaWKakRhHiztHQrULVl3ihISowzW8mqcyJ37Ivj-pIWQtPVnbQCnAeYWrNYmgxJQM0gw9zp-XsrM0DP0hmhJzD74SaBebBLyDvAYU6968yiPzUY2ioBbkMELZFId8x9pAs/s1600/Baloney+Moon+playing+at+opening.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 178px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9WLdebRHNtCaWKakRhHiztHQrULVl3ihISowzW8mqcyJ37Ivj-pIWQtPVnbQCnAeYWrNYmgxJQM0gw9zp-XsrM0DP0hmhJzD74SaBebBLyDvAYU6968yiPzUY2ioBbkMELZFId8x9pAs/s320/Baloney+Moon+playing+at+opening.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599291123039107090" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzwBQ1ethPyiCNA-NBXPHLn5iVBJIP3S3O61h7t7YJjDu84wsLuh9iMimGi1sneCO0guBJulkdqOunV6QMRqbp6FBTomTmvhVFD5Fv1gQNTkSbVmGssLFyjtjOabQk69KioddQYqxP-1E/s1600/Drew+and+Brian+at+Opening.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzwBQ1ethPyiCNA-NBXPHLn5iVBJIP3S3O61h7t7YJjDu84wsLuh9iMimGi1sneCO0guBJulkdqOunV6QMRqbp6FBTomTmvhVFD5Fv1gQNTkSbVmGssLFyjtjOabQk69KioddQYqxP-1E/s320/Drew+and+Brian+at+Opening.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599291119995535858" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy14TIc5mCPTC4o8b8v1KOJdExJ6cWIzB0Wb9Vpxpofj5Axvw0xwXdf5n4ywYdfaWN0Lm1kekq5rNH7rHyTXGMIm3qoIoglLbX-Lb_GKZYe3qcGCwzp72q9WZG_AgFzeDcrTdplUBCiEg/s1600/Sneak+Preview+of+Show.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 141px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy14TIc5mCPTC4o8b8v1KOJdExJ6cWIzB0Wb9Vpxpofj5Axvw0xwXdf5n4ywYdfaWN0Lm1kekq5rNH7rHyTXGMIm3qoIoglLbX-Lb_GKZYe3qcGCwzp72q9WZG_AgFzeDcrTdplUBCiEg/s400/Sneak+Preview+of+Show.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599290287145018626" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Wow, I just looked at my last blog entry and I can't believe it has been so long since I have written. Since the last blog so much has gone on at the studio. On March 26 we had a wonderful art opening. We are now up to 40 local artists in the gallery and the new art show does look incredible. Drew Zaremba and Brian Ward opened the show with wonderful Jazz which was perfect for the spring show. As people viewed the art one of my favorite groups Baloney Moon set up in the back for an incredible evening set. They played outdoors, as you can see by the photo. I am hoping that we get to have more events that include the outdoors.

The students first made a small suncatcher during which they learned the basic skills of cutting glass and soldering. Their second project in the class was a larger window which took the remainder of the class to complete. The small windows have a metal frame around the outside and are ready to hang when the class is complete. Two of the students even did original designs which is quite challenging when you first start out. Their projects turned out great and I wanted to share them with you.A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314043485868276532.post-59320655151937879542011-02-11T19:38:00.000-08:002011-02-11T20:07:39.940-08:00Birth of a Stained Glass Window<img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 121px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1QT761MEicuou9XeA2IxtCzG56dTzZ7bvwQxHkU27I0vSbdMWRkb5lroiCakW4SC08X6DfWqdVZQ5x-Ywb6SuS86PRZKJcw_SvHAqM8rp2QtlLsRRn7s82YXLmHhtVnNCN9uRu_L77io/s200/Pattern.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572647596627501202" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS9brHpcyPznOI2LZp8MTu4S6cSZk4GR94aNLZKRSi7KxwTOEAsh3ctRZ5skEoYC3RGX8j3V3cN7Rf2ZzL5_ZtqmSunGNX5f_EL3uJ87mNDsBkTxOC_L08xOiMWcdMydYjSv5Kap31DqM/s200/Starting+the+main+design.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572647597703692274" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 109px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBYjWfkYnpvEg1vZG-ZHziIauHrS6BAEcnI9UiwYGQr1DPINVaDoh2uBgqGQM6HUtCKluPwTokRrfHUivySHAqyfuNwCKBPj3OYrz97LHt8z9IOoBvlzoKwtv7eWf2-LtgjnGA7wVSv1s/s200/Almost+finished.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572647604171814466" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3vxGctshE4kJik4RCYxTDgLUibxtrKnPcb2temBV7i2pj8CVunwo_kPK5r7v49JXIyv7k-lUQrrcUhyoLnmLMcRnSdsE-Zbzny-Kpb7MbOGe_h3Kjl_yNGCgtmm6qgKQXPsIewsMvfiE/s200/Soldering+the+back.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572648390025762626" /><br /><br />When making a stained glass window you must first plan out your design and then draw a pattern or "cartoon" in order to have a guide as you cut the glass and construct the panel. Once the zinc frame has been cut you begin to cut the glass and solder the foiled pieces of glass into place. I decided to do a photo journal of this stained glass panel as it grew to completion. I didn't get a final photo and the window is already shining brightly in it's new home, but you can get a good idea from the final photos of the final product. There is something very satisfying about taking raw materials and creating a beautiful piece of art......

The studio had it's own new year celebration on January 7th. As you can see by the photos, top hats were required. Fritz Schwalm performed at the studio for the very first "First Friday" of the New Year. What a wonderful evening. Fritz's has a wonderful voice and played music enjoyed by all. Linka Behn and Kerry Boutell demonstrated their amazing art techniques and we had the most wonderful crowd in attendance. Good food, great music and wonderful conversations. Can't beat that!</div>A Creative Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06109496472181904433noreply@blogger.com0
