Last weekend Pog and I drove to Atlanta, GA to visit Folk Fest and
to meet Lurena Williamson of Tattered Moon!
I have followed her blog and have
long admired her dolls so it was
a real pleasure to meet her and see the work
in person.
Check out her blog at tatteredmoon.blogspot.com
This made the third time we have been to Folk Fest.
The
first time we went, there were several art cars in the parking lot.
Pog didn’t
think he would ever get into the show because
I was running around looking
at the cars!
When we did go into the arena where the show is held, I was blown
away by the work.
It is a total assault on the senses of color and freedom of
expression.
I don’t think I have been the same since then
and felt so much
happiness even on this third visit of ours.
Sadly there were no art cars this
year but the work was still awesome.
I have long had an interest in outsider
and folk art so it is a real treat to be able to see so many artists in one
venue.

| This was Pog's favorite of the show. |
Still weaving away on runners, mug rugs and dishtowels.
I’ve
got lots of hemming to do then I will show you what I have been working on.
I
have been slow getting things done and I am going to blame it on the heat.
Dog
days at the end of summer.
How I long for my favorite season of Fall!
The older I get the less I can tolerate heat and
humidity.
Thankfully our mountains do not suffer from heat the way other areas
do.
Have a good weekend and stay cool!
