Yesterday I featured Kate MccGwire’s feather sculptures, so it seems appropriate to feature some of my own feathery works. Crane Dance, Linda Oeffling Custom wrought iron stand by Will Slagel of Metal Meanders Sandhill cranes were a rare sight around this area several years ago. There must be new habitat or different migration or something, [...]

It’s been damp and drizzly and chilly in the Midwest lately. I say either fly me to somewhere tropical, or bring on the snow! Linda Oeffling, Stained Glass Snowflake, iridized krackle Featured today are some snowflakes coming out of the studio. Stained glass work, they are copper wired along the outside rim so they won’t [...]

We had a beautiful day yesterday for Affair of the Arts. It is fun to see familiar faces year after year, and we hear many compliments about the quality of the show and the beauty of the venue. The Shores of Turtle Creek is such a sun-lit, expansive place, so perfect for an art show. [...]

I recently spent some time up in Northern Wisconsin, taking kayak and tent to spend some time in a beautiful place. We have gotten pretty good at it — sleeping on an air mattress helps, as does the gourmet meals and regular trips to town for ice, wine, and ice cream. Hot coffee, french toast, [...]

Here is a piece I have been working on for a while: Linda Oeffling, Sparkle Wave The wood came first. It was a great chunk of driftwood, but pretty flat on the back surface. I decided to put it upright and place glass behind it. I really didn’t want to use a bottom base of [...]

The Grand Opening was held this past weekend, and visitors could enjoy refreshments and view artwork in the new location. Owner Alicia Reid also operates [...]
