Mica Rock Rug Lori Laberge 2012
This will be the last rock
rug completed before the Studio Tour. The piece of mica on this rug
has black, silver and white hues. The edges of the rock are jagged
and form layers. Though this piece looks rugged, it is quite
delicate due to the thin layers. The way the silver reflects and
shines from different angles is beautiful.

On another note, the Toe
River Studio Artist Show is now open at the Toe River Arts Council
Gallery in Spruce Pine, NC. My husband and I took a ride over this
week and here are photos of some of the work displayed.
Since I love fiber, this
piece really caught my eye. The workmanship and color use are
beautiful. Artist Louis Grenell created this woven piece. She also
created the rabbit.
Jim Waters does amazing
encaustic work. I own one of his pieces and am tempted to purchase
another. There is great texture and depth to his work which, again,
appeals to the fiber artist in me.
Rolf Holmquist's work
includes the use of all sorts of items. It is just plain fun to
spend time looking at and identifying them knowing they were used to
create one piece of art.
John Richards "Big
Blue Dog" is made out of bottle caps. Love it!
I have purchased two of
Valerie Schnaufer's works. I can't resist the ways she tucks items
into various hollowed out areas in her ceramic pieces.
Here is my piece,
"Lakewood". It was one of the pieces made for a show on
stripes.
The tour takes place June
8-10 and information can be picked up at the Toe River Arts Galleries
in Spruce Pine and Burnsville. If you get the chance, take some time
to meet the local artists, view their studios and have a great day
out on the town.
