Vangi Cathcart - #1 Christmas Booth at the Joyful Jewel 11-30-14

              

Vangi Cathcart's Christmas display at the Joyful Jewel is noted for Excellence in Presentation, Skill, Beauty and Delight!  Her medium is mainly watercolor in the Sumi-e tradition, a style noted for subtlety and clean lines.  Vangi has placed a live poinsettia, which perfectly complements her painted flowers, and even has included a bowl full of candies for her patrons.

"Bottle Tray"
Bob Searles
liter size bottle and fused glass pieces
$25

Art can be both beautiful and useful like this bottle tray with fused glass and berries that Bob Searles made.  I can see it with a mixture of red and black olives and a tiny spoon.  Or, you could put it on your dresser to hold keys and watch for the night and make them so easy to find in your morning grogginess!
