| Well the Thanksgiving holidays have arrived. Hope everyone at least gets a day off to enjoy themselves. If you do, I have an idea of what would be fun. Create beautiful art for everyone. Didn't mean to rhyme that time, well shoot, did it again. Anyway, get those juices flowing, those paint brushes going, and make warriors out of paper. For this a place where creativity is always welcome and served with a hot cup of coffee and a friendly face.

| Thank you Terri. I've been working hard so I'm going to crawl into a corner and have a little snooze. Those berries look yummy. Such pretty fall colors
Working on learning how to use my camera. And terrace the hill. And reorganize my storage area. And tumble glass. And make a bottle tree or two or three. And fix a pen for my dogs who like to play in traffic.

| Postings seem to be down all over. Who's got something they've been saving? When I want to see some knock-out artistic work I go back over the material posted by Tango88. He does concrete that looks like wood (faux bois) and he explaines a lot of his work. And has great pictures.
Another recommendation, also especially for those of you interested in exploring the p[ossibilities of concrete, go to EdwardRHamilton.com and do a search for their books on concrete. The one by Cheng is very good so is the one on concrete garden ornaments.
I'm back to work.

| I was late this morning dropping by and it's very quite now. I happily fed the birds and got a lot of reading done but it's getting a little lonely all by myself. There is plenty of space at the table and I think I see the waiter coming over with the menu. How about joining me for an afternoon tea and art talk? I brought a box construction called "Frida's House" made of paper, pins, found metal and graphite. What do you think? I think everyone is shopping on "black Friday".
I saw the faux bois work Tango88 posted and am amazed katiebear. I am fortunate enough to pass a faux bois tree planter on a neighbors front lawn everyday. I've often thought of trying to barter for it but it is firmly cemented in the ground.
rvnsbruk, do you know the origin of the bottle tree?

But then I had to take my cordless drill to the hardware to find someone who could remove the battery as my hands wouldnn't work right. I was embarrassed but showed that my hands were dirty and calloussed to establish my bona fides as a real worker.

| Hi Semper, Thanks for bringing in the art materials, good idea!
I used the graphite and paper to make some leaf frottage.
I collected leaves from the garden, the ones with the holes and textures worked best I think. I enjoyed that!

| terri,
I can see your frottages framed subtly with a grey inner band with a very wide white mat and a soft silver (non shiny) wood frame. This would make a good series piece so the viewer can see the subtle differences in the sequence of images.

Semper, I have got to find the faux bois link. Sounds amazing. Have any of ya'll seen what JMC did with the reverse painting? Instead of using white paper and sketching in black, he used blacked and sketched in white. The effect is astounding.
Terri, I do believe you have found some art I can do. I think Teensy could too, but SO COULD I!!
Hey rvsbark, saw you somewhere recently, but can't remember where. Hmmm...of course I mean in the forums. lol.
Katiebear, sooo good to see you here. Glad you joined us.
I have several different size muffins and some very gaudy and ostentatious tea for everyone. Hope you enjoy!! Muffins...

Traci, your flowers are beautiful, the arrangements are really good! I love the little details with the petals and the first one has a lovely shape.Thanks so much for bringing those in, we were really lacking fresh flowers!
I'm glad you can relate to frottage! I find it lots of fun, and using wax crayons and paint gives interesting effects too.
Your flowers reminded me of a hand-tie I made with almost the same colours.

As for a bottle tree, my tree is planted in a pot instead of the ground. Here's my only one. I've never seen a bottle tree except in DG.

| Good morning all, I see it's raining again but the light inside the Cafe was burning all night. Any tea left?
pupil, I think your floral arrangements have a rich Asian feel. I wonder if you mean Art Nouveau when you mention using the lines from nature? or were you thinking of the Arts and Crafts Movement? or the Bloomsbury group from England (google Vanessa Bells house for a intensely painted and decorated style, one of my favorite styles perfect for crafty people).
I did google bottle tree and found out they came from Africa but are found all over the world.The tree should have heavenward branches and preferably blue glass that will trap the demons or evil spirits at night so they will evaporate in the morning sun. The other interesting tree I found on that search was a plate tree. The center of a ceramic plate is drilled through with a hole and placed on a branch of a tree, The whole tree is filled with plates like the bottle tree. I think these were used at grave sites, which is maybe why they are not as common as bottle trees? The plate trees have real decorative potential I think.
I think the bottle trees are mainly seen in the southern US. I've never seen one yet in the north but keep hoping.
dahtzu, Your bottle tree has a nice flow and seems to be a perfect meld between tree and bottles.
terri, do your "hand ties last for long out of water? I like the red in some twigs with the weave under the bouquet.

| Hi all, sorry I have been MIA lately. It has been very busy this weekend.
Wow, praise for my arrangements from Terri!! You have no idea how much that means. I am a nervous wreck whenever I post these. They are offically my 4th attempt and were done in great haste. I really appreciate it. BTW, what is frottage? I love the wax crayon idea.
Zany, thanks for the pic on Rococo. From Dictionary.com
Rococo - A style of art, especially architecture and decorative art, that originated in France in the early 18th century and is marked by elaborate ornamentation, as with a profusion of scrolls, foliage, and animal forms.
Baroque - the difference between it and Rococo - How to tell baroque from rococo, according to Fowler: "The characteristics of baroque are grandeur, pomposity, and weight; those of rococo are inconsequence, grace, and lightness." But the two terms often used without distinction for styles featuring odd and excessive ornamentation."
I think Baroque was what I was looking for. Gaudy in a sense.
Art Nouveau - a French school of art and architecture popular in the 1890s; characterized by stylized natural forms and sinuous outlines of such objects as leaves and vines and flowers.
Sound much more refined than what I was talking about, but could fit the description of what I was saying. They all have the similarity of using nature as a guide.
Semper, funny you say that about an Asian look. I love Asian design and have it throughout the house, thus the tea cups. I will have to get pics of some of my favorite pieces. I want to get some of the peasant art on E-Bay for Teensy's room. The colors are vivid.
I have heard of Ishtar, but not enough study on it. I was into Roman and Greek Mythology. I found this.
"woe to him whom Ishtar had honoured! The fickle goddess treated her passing lovers cruelly, and the unhappy wretches usually paid dearly for the favours heaped on them. Animals, enslaved by love, lost their native vigour: they fell into traps laid by men or were domesticated by them. 'Thou has loved the lion, mighty in strength', says the hero Gilgamesh to Ishtar, 'and thou hast dug for him seven and seven pits! Thou hast loved the steed, proud in battle, and destined him for the halter, the goad and the whip."
and
She demands that Anu give her the Bull of Heaven. If he refuses, she warns, she will do exactly what she told the gatekeeper of the underworld she would do if he didn't let her in:
"If you refuse to give me the Bull of Heaven [then] I will break in the doors of hell and smash the bolts; there will be confusion [i.e., mixing] of people, those above with those from the lower depths. I shall bring up the dead to eat food like the living; and the hosts of the dead will outnumber the living."
This was on Dictionary.com. I am going to do much more reading on her, as she seems very interesting, lover, fighter, revengeful, rage filled, and much more. Now that I know a little more, I will go back and look at your art again. It helps to know the subject matter. lol.
I have also thought about your women warriors. Amazonian, but don't know any particulars. Did I mention Morgana from King Arthur's time?
Thomas Malory mostly follows the portrayal of Morgan in the Vulgate and Post-Vulgate Cycles in his book "Le Morte d'Arthur", though he expands her role in some cases. Through magic and mortal means, she tries to arrange Arthur's downfall, most famously when she arranges for her lover Accolon to obtain the sword Excalibur and use it against Arthur in single combat. Failing in this, Morgan throws Excalibur's protective scabbard into a lake.
Not so much a warrior as a great sorceress. I first read about her in "Le Morte d'Arthur" in high school and then "Avalon in the Mist". Both are great novels.
Mulan was a woman warrior. I really love the theme and your art. Women warriors are truly fascinating in history. Would you consider Hester Prynne of "The Scarlett Letter" a warrior of a different kind? An emotional warrior with integrity and strength. Ok, can you tell I am really into this? lol.
Datzu, this is the first bottle tree I have seen, although I have heard about it. Very neat and I love the trunk. The interpretation by Semper helps. Once again, I need to know my subject matter first. I love it.
Katiebear, have you started your bottle tree yet? I'll D you when I get some free time. Hope all is well.
Zany needs blue hair for winter. Don't know why, but that is what the "muse" is telling me. lol.
Rvnsbark, definitely art!!! Anything and everything is art. Writing, painting, dancing, sculpting, pottery, etc. I appreciate the contribution and the colors are fantastic. You did this in one day??? I do like it.
This one is getting very long, so I will sign off for now.
One of my many, many Asian pics. I love the color. Tibetan grave rubbings will be next. They are wonderful.
P.S. I just did a preview and sorry this is so long, but I can't think of where to edit it. BTW, I took this pic as a joke on parallel lines. I would never have the lamp facing like this. lol.

I like the way you have shown the sequence of works.
rvnsbrk, thankyou for bringing your work to the cafe.Is it made from wood or clay? I like the bright colours you have used, it will look lovely in our cafe garden.
Traci, well gosh, thanks for all the information! Frottage means a rubbing, basically.
Zany needs blue hair, oh do you mean like a blue rinse? haha!

Hey pupil, thanks for that long post on Ishtar, she is wickedly wonderful. If you notice she is criticized for helping domesticate animals. Some of her bad behavior had positive results for humans. Thanks for the names of Morgana, Mulan and Hester Prynne. Morgana and Mulan would hold up in the pantheon of Women of Power. Hester could be in a sub section of strong women fictional characters. Anyone have more names or nominations?
Tibetan grave rubbings would be wonderful to see. I like your parallel line visual joke. I'll have to try to think up some or maybe someone else has one?
Zanymuse, admit nothing and blame everything on Zany.

| Bottle trees came with the slaves from Africa. It was believed that the bottles captured evil spirits at night and they couldn't get out. Originally was gourds and other such containers. Many bottles used to be colored and especially a lot of cobalt blue. The idea was soon adopted by others and called poor man's stained glass. My great grandmother had one in her back yard near the chicken pen. Traditionally it is from a cedar tree and the smaller limbs are left as stubs to attach the bottles. Finally got mine just a couple of months ago. It is just now starting to bloom.

It is suppose to get to 60, which is still 15 degrees too cold. I'll set him by the front door to greet everyone when they come in for hot chocolate.
LouC, I love your interpretation of the bottle tree, also. Katiebear has one above. Both are different in style, which is why I love art. Very open to interpretation. A totem pole for evil souls is what popped into my head when I saw it. Thanks very much, and it will go outside by the outdoor sitting area, so when it warms up, these evil ones can't bother the customers. |

| Yep, blame Zany! I worked in an mfg. office for many years. Anytime a custom order was messed up the office staff and the factory staff would waste a lot of time playing point the finger. No one was ever responsible for the error. I got so frustrated by it one day that I actually stood up on a desktop in the middle of all the desks to yell over the tops of all the cubicals with a bullhorn. " ATTENTION" I need your attention"...We have a problem and I would like to see it resolved. From this day forth I am assuming total responsibility for all errors. If the order is written up wrong, I am responsible. If it was entered into the system wrong, I am responsible. If someone along the way misread the order, I am responsible. If the order was mislabled, damaged by an earthquake or shipped to the wrong address via a slow boat to China instead of overnight air...I am responsible. NOW, WHO KNOWS HOW TO FIX MY MESS?"
LOL, I left that company over 15 years ago and the owner still stands up and waves his arms in the office when a problem arises and asks who has a solution for another one of MY messes when the fingers start pointing. And everyone there yells Brenda is responsible, now let's fix it! |

| Hello Juanita,
Thankyou for bringing us a lovely winter piece, next week I'm planning on decorating the cafe for christmas, so this is a perfect start for our christmas collection! I hope everyone will come in and help to decorate the trees (we have indoor and outdoor), bring their decorations and handmade cards etc. I'm really looking forward to the grub!!! love mince pies and christmas puddings!!!
Semper, I'm sorry to sound like a complete fool but I can't think of any names yet! Good idea to sit outside, I'll bring in some more chairs soon.
I know the Japanese tradition of using the frottage technique for rubbing with graphite on a whole fish, showing the fins, scales and eyes etc.
Sandy, welcome to our cafe, LOVE your baskets, Thankyou for bringing them. I haven't seen baskets like this before. Please show us more!!!
Louc , Welcome! Thankyou for bringing your bottle tree, I really want to make one now, so glad you found us!
Zany, it's all your fault!!!!!!
Aguane, Hello! I am so pleased to meet Eileen, she's a stunner! Please bring her in, ZanyHair is missing her people from the same planet!!

Oh poor zanymuse is taking the blame for everything. Here I was trying to lay the blame on her alter ego "Zanyhair" and it seems I got it all wrong. I went through the threads quickly but could not find who created her( Zanyhair). Was it you terri? And was she created for zanymuse? I told you I needed pots of tea today. I am so confused !
Nice yard LouC. Lovely baskets curlers. Pretty roses and vases terri. Terri, the artwork is not heavy, although it frequently looks like metal or other materials it's paper.
Here's a paper house addition for the cafe. Materials- Wooden box, paper, straight pins, graphite, and found object.
Fridas House
This was created with Frida Kahlo in mind. I saw photos of her wonderful blue house in Mexico and wanted to live there so I created a Frida house for myself. I put it in a box that recalls roadside spirit houses - added an extravagant ruff to recall the native headdresses she frequently wore - added pins for her continually pain after the bus accident and the metal found object is her prominent eyebrow.

| Hi Semper, I really like this one! The ruff looks like fabric, did you wet the paper to create this effect? It is a very interestig piece, and I love your choice of materials. I don't know if I ever said that I really like your 'Shamen'
I did create ZanyHair, when I gave Zanymuse a makeover!

| It would depend on the sizes and patterns of the scarves. Some are beautiful and the perfect size to be made into decorative pillows. Others work well as dresser scarves or draping over lampshades for a romantic ambiance. They can also be beautifully framed and hung as works of art, Sewn onto quilts, Used in clear vases to hide the stems of nice silk floral arrangements and so on.
If you don't mind them being ruined they can also be used in lieu of paper in decoupage projects or art collages. |

| Good morning all, I see it's cold out today but I'd still like to spend some time outside in the cafe garden today.
Of course it's an avoidance technique. I have to put the finishing touches on the "Warriors" to deliver to the Small Works Show Sunday. Why can't you find the proper hammer, wire, glue etc., when you need it? . BTW Ishtar has been renamed Mulan. That one seems to have a more chrysanthemum petal arrangement so I'll save Ishtar for a shaper edged piece.
Here's the grouping so far. What do you think?
Joan of Arc - Unnamed - Athena - Congo 2007 - Mulan

The Unknown reminds me of a hawk, visually at least. Don't know if that helps. Pocahontas? Although I am not really sure on that. You know who popped in my head yesterday, Medusa. Don't know why and she is definitely not a hero. I just think you could do a great interpretation. She was a warrior in a sense. lol. I LOVE THE SERIES. You have done a beautiful job. I am excited, as we got to see the work in the making and even make suggestions. Thank you sooo much.
I will be gone today. Having a girls day with Teensy. We both need haircuts something awful. Mine is so long right now, I tuck it in my pants. lol. May see everyone this evening.

| It is calling for snow here tomorrow. It is coming from your direction. At this point the weather man can't say how much to expect. Thankfully, we don't have extra harsh winters here. Some years we hardly get any snow or ice at all.
It certainly has been a strange year weatherwise. I just put my shorts and t-shirts away last week. When I asked hubby about tomorrow's weather he mentioned that it is supposed to be in the 70's here on Monday. Crazy, for sure. I still have three bags of bulbs to go in the ground. Monday will be the day for doing that.
Stay warm everyone.

I visited San Antonio a few years ago and loved it. I will think of you today as we face what weather service is calling for...snow. They aren't saying how much. We have milk, coffee and other essentials, so we are okay. I just need to continue my prayer of not losing power. I hate that worse than pretty much anything. I am spoiled with modern day wonders.

Yes, I have been using lots of recipe sites the past couple of weeks too. I need one for potato soup today.
Take care all.

| Wow Terri - They are some very creative pictures that you have there. Such beautiful colors. I especially like some of the green bottles.
I actually followed a recipe for the potato soup yesterday. I usually just throw things together too. I saw several recipes for the soup with leeks. They all looked good to me. The soup was very think so i used some corn starc to thicken it. On the box of corn starch there is a recipe for a sauce to use for chinese food. i amm going to try making it to have on hand when I haveanything chinese to eat. I am glad that I pulled out the box.
I hope that everyone is having a good weekend.

| Ruby, one of the neatest things I have learned to thicken sauces, soups, etc. is a little bit of instant potato...no lumps. |

| Hi Ruby, Thanks, I was thinking of making a bottle tree with them next! Did you see a receipe for leek and sweetcorn soup? that reminds me of chinese food!
Hi LouC, I use potato as a thickener also!, I'm not keen on the cornstarch taste.
Thankyou Juanita! I think it's time to bring in christmas decorations don't you?
Hello to Traci, hope you are ok, we miss you!!!

Thanks for the instant potato mix hint. I will have to remember that. I ended up using corn startch. Terri you must have very sensitive taste buds. I am not aware of a corn starch taste. Interesting...
Thanks again for some more great pics. Keep them coming.
