@ L.A.S.T. or Llano Art Studio Tour

I was honored to be asked to participate in Llano's first annual art studio tour or @ L.A.S.T. If you remember one of my first post of 2011, one of my goals this year is to turn one of our outbuildings into my studio. (no progress made on that yet, keep your fingers crossed). So even though I am studio-less, unless you count the livingroom floor a studio, I was asked to participate by showing some of my work at another artists studio. There were five artists plus the studio owner at this particular location. There were 16 studios on the tour. I managed to break away from my booth long enough to see 5 of them, It was fabulous to see the artists working in their own environment. You really must plan to attend next year, the only problem is that it is during Warrenton, so I plan to try to get the date changed.

this is the wonderful compound of artist Linda Gammage, where I showed my work.

this is Linda's darling potters studio

Some of her pottery,

Some of my work

Gotta go get some junk, more studio tour in my next post, stay tuned. Oh and the Llano Fiddle Fest is this weekend in Llano, if you've never been to a fiddle fest you must come, Lots of old time fiddl'n goin' on. See ya next time!!!
