Things to Do In Sedona, AZ

Steller's Jays In Alpine, AZ

We generally don't feed wildlife - it's not a good practice - but we do help the birds along with seed through the winter. Right now we have two Steller's Jays that are relying on us. I worry about them when we leave town for shows and hope they've stashed enough peanuts in the tree tops for while we're gone. (They do stash them in crooks and needles of the trees and bury them at the base of trees.) Both are injured so we may help them make it through the winter. The one, "Chicken" (she perches like a one) is missing a leg. She's the Momma bird. "Baby Girl" has a bad wing (she's one of Chicken's offspring.) They perch together chirping to each other. I have a scenario in my head - we often have birds of prey in the area - what if baby was getting attacked and Mom stepped in causing them both to have injuries? Who knows. Here's a picture of them perched together. I wish I could capture their personalities here. They are smart, agile and comical birds! Baby Girl In Flight

Art For Sedona's Sake - Artists

We had a great time set up at Art for Sedona's Sake this weekend. I didn't realize that the promoter Thom Stanley raises money for local art groups with his venues. It's nice to know that your booth fee goes to good causes. We met people from all the country and the world! As usual we were surrounded by great artists and made new friends.

I like to spread the word about other artists we meet so here goes.Gerry Quotskuyva and his wife Debbi Menig. Gerry is an award winning Hopi Artist. His artwork is amazing - please check him out! http://www.kachinacarver.com/index.htm
Moraine Benny - Luminous LLC, creates Art Glass and specializes in Glow in the Dark Colors. Her website is in the works so the best way to see her work right now is through her shows. Please keep checking back to see this talented artist's creations http://www.luminousltd.com/index.html
Rick & Rose Gnerich of Fluting From The Heart craft Native American Style High Spirit Flutes that sound as beautiful as they look. They also offer workshops. Please check out their website http://www.flutingfromtheheart.com/flutes/double-flutesKyle Jacobson sculpts gorgeous nature inspired furniture out of native woods. Please check out this young artist's work at http://www.naturalelementsfurnishings.com/I made a new friend, Kiyomi Murayama, Herbal Therapist from Tokyo, Japan. We did a little horsetrading - a pair of my Sonora Star Earrings for some of her delicious Aromatherapy Natural Perfume Oils. You can learn more about her products at www.puravida-essentials.jp or contact her at info@puravida-essentials.jp

OK, this doesn't have anything to do with Artists we met but I cannot forget Amber the Goat. There was a rescue organization from Flagstaff, AZ (I should have got the man's card!) He walked Amber around the show all weekend to raise awareness about his organization that takes in all sorts of animals. She was a sweetie!

Route 66 Days Flagstaff, AZ

We've been at back to back shows this month. Our last was Route 66 Days in Flagstaff, AZ. I wish I had more pictures of the amazing cars but we were pretty busy selling jewelry. I did manage to get a couple pictures of the winners. The Fire Engine was incredible! It had a pipe organ in the back that played recorded music or could be played by an actual person. Overall we had a blast. If you're able to visit next year it's a great car show that stretches all through downtown Flagstaff. The craft show is just getting started and will one day be a really great show too!
