FALL YART 2019

We had a truly wonderful time this Autumn YART, held at Angel Mounds State Historic Site on October 23, 2019 from 10am-4pm. The weather was gorgeous, as you can see below in the second group of pix.

This first group of pix shows the work me and my friends did on five new decoupage pieces we made specifically to take to YART and sell to help pay for my friend ETCArtistry‘s medical expenses! My buddies wanted to help, so I drew all the paper shapes for them to cut out and then I laid the and decoupaged the paper, thread and etc myself and did the additional drawing and painting. They saved me a TON of time cutting out all those pieces, as you may guess!!

And here are pictures from the event! You can find stuff from cups to yard critters to dream catchers, in addition to all the gorgeous paintings and drawings. Stephanie, the organizer, has a strict rule of $50 and under, with only 1/3 of the art over $30! We’ve been doing YART since 2006, and it just keeps getting better every time. Steph also made the gorgeous logo (here in sticker form) I used for the featured image for this post.
