The Art of the Table

Clara,
You would love this table by Robert Therrien. It measures ten feet high, twenty feet long, and twelve feet wide. It's the center piece for Art of the Table,

an installation show at the Milwaukee Art Museum this weekend. In conjunction with the show is a marketplace of unique gifts that I was fortunate to be part of. I put together a collection of my pewter jewelry, 70 some pieces and am happy to report lots of them have already found new owners! We had lunch at the Calatrava Cafe in the museum, an art of the table experience in itself. We need to add that to our "to do" for your next visit.

Pewter pieces take on their own unique character

Hi there
Behind the scenes - as R prepares for her Pewter Jewelry Collection for the Art of the Table Marketplace at the Milwaukee Art Museum November 18th - November 21st.

Look forward to seeing the whole collection next week; I admire the bold nature of the pewter work as each piece takes on its own unique character.

Renotta's week of creative miracles

Hi R and other friends out there
A week has passed since I arrived back from Wisconsin - so it is time I revisited R's 'One a Day blog' to see the miracles she has achieved in that time.

You can admire the creative energy but you can also wear these pieces. Contact Renotta on her website http://www.shopatnextdoor.com/ .
As I have said before, it is lucky that there are more hours in the Northern Hemisphere!
I especially love seeing the pewter work as this was R's project at the time so I was there at the creative coal front, and actually produced a piece myself!

Clara's Valiant Effort

Proudly Clara

Brilliant enticing plumage to adorn women.

Hi enticing females
It's clear to me that 'R is as amazing as peacocks!' A question to you all, why is it that the female of our species is the one who adorns herself brilliantly (for whatever reason)?

One of the most ostentatiously adorned creatures on Earth, the peacock uses its brilliant plumage to entice females.

http://pavementandpastures.blogspot.com/ (Treat yourself to viewing this blog which shows beautiful peacocks in a Wisconsin setting) However, before you do, scroll down for some fabulous pieces which R has created and shows in her "one a day" blog, to adorn yourself brilliantly. It's ten days since I posted R's work on this blog, ten days in which she has created, photographed and posted daily. It's fortunate that there is more time in Wisconsin than here Downunder!

Clara

ps - the pieces are photographed in her garden in Wisconsin, which she lovingly tends herself.
pss - off to see our Russell in Robin Hood. The review tells me "We knew he had declined to wear tights and he'd spend a lot of time asride a horse....." so looks like we won't see him in 'Jeggings' after all.

It's Clear to Me...May 15th
