Fun portrait, I do enjoy doing children, they are delightful!
This is my most recent painting. A little different, but fun. Acrylic on canvas. I love green apples.
Acrylic on heavy paper, original, framed with black frame and white mat. 20" x 25"
A lovely woven triangle shawl by Kalene Zerkel. Varigated blues and greens, this acrylic shawl is easy care and has a lovely drape. Stunning for spring.
These buttons are from "The Button Box." They are handmade, ceramic buttons approximately 2 inches across. One of a kind and just perfect for that unique art piece or funky knitted thing you just made!


This is what Ruth has been working on, a knitted sheep who is going to be felted. Probably over spring break she will get the opportunity to get him in the washing machine. It's hard to do in the dorm! We will keep you posted.
House portrait by Martha Iler. Send a photo and you can have one too.
On Tuesdays the Ya-Ya Sisterhood meets to knit, starting at 10 and going til about 3pm. It is a come and go knitting day, and anyone is welcome to come and work and learn. 

This is the story of a little lamb who was born and left out in the snow. It was a very exciting day for me, the city slicker, who, being in charge of feeding the animals at the Zerkel Farm, came across this poor tiny creature who's mother had no idea how to take care of him. I had been given instructions as to what to do "just in case" there were any lambs, but I never expected to be called upon to actually perform life saving maneuvers!
Another pencil portrait. Created from a photo of your child, pet, or home this heirloom quality portrait will be a treasured gift.
A wire knit pendant! Who would have thought.
This interesting, abstract pendant is handmade right here in Greenville, using recycled and natural materials, (old beads, jute and wire). A fun and GREEN alternative to pricey gem stones and precious metals. Made in an easy slip-over-your-head style, it is easily adjusted to fit.
Created in ceramic with organic material pressed into it and then fired, this Jute necklace with green glass beads is handmade and your "earthentic alternative". The jute is tied in the back for a slip-over-your-neck ease.
These wonderfully
