Friday’s featured artist:
Travis and Waneta McKinney

This artesian couple creates wonderful jewelry and mushroom dyed silk scarves by hand. Their scarves are dyed with foraged mushrooms from the Virginias in an all natural process. The specific scarf shown in the photo below was dyed with Inonotus Hispidus, aka the shaggy polypore mushroom.

“Inspiration is drawn from our appreciation for the natural beauty of the two Virginias, and from our awe for the exquisite colors from mushroom pigments.” - Travis and Waneta.

It's wish list Wednesday! This week we are featuring Ann wright. If we remember from last week, I had mentioned a few problems with interviewing two volunteers in one day. Thats what I get for trying to stay ahead. Anyhow, due to my bad luck, both Lois McMullan and Ann Wright have similar taste. As you can conclude, poor Ann kept picking out the same items Lois did. Ann also exclaimed she wanted everything, but maintained admirable restraint. Thank you for participating Ann!

Take a look at the art made in Nancy Newhard’s gelli-printing class! We made quite a mess in the process, but that’s all part of the fun! It was the perfect activity for a rainy day. Thank you to Nancy and all who participated!
