Arts Exhibitions at Adlandpro

Exhibition No. 10
Featuring Zornitsa Machanova   Oil on Canvas

  Zornitsa Machanova is a very talented artist who has been a member of Adlandpro Since January 2006. Her work will give you a charming glimpse of Bulgaria.

If you are not a friend or Zornista send her an invitation.

Zornitsa Machanova

Born in 1978 in the city of Vidin, Bulgaria loves to recreate images from the Bulgarian customs and culture, using oils and canvas. Some of her paintings created both in Bulgaria and abroad, are property of collectors from Bulgaria, Italy and the USA.

Her education is not artistic. She is a bachelor of International Economic Relations and has a masters degree in Business Administration, but her love for art has been following her ever since she was first able to hold a pencil with a steady hand. A number of private art-classes and the opportunities to escape the city and paint in different parts of Bulgaria, made her what she is - an artist with great love for history, strong colors and deep images.

Considering the power of the Internet and the necessity for promotion and presentation of talented Bulgarian artists, since 2005 she started an initiative, which gathered a number of painters, wood-carvers and icon-makers and joined them in a common virtual exhibition room. http://www.artsbg.net .

An on-line exhibition of work by Artist and Craftsmen at Adlandpro
(A new exhibition every three weeks)

Exhibition no. 12

Featuring Knight (k.c.) Duerig

Knight has agreed to share his remarkable carvings with us. He takes a piece of antler and creates a thing of beauty.
Knight has been an Adlander since 2004. He is a good friend. If you are not his friend send him an invitation.

About the artist

Knight C Duerig (K.C. to his friends) lives with his wife Beverly in King Hill, Idaho.

 Knight started carving antlers in the late 80’s as a hobby but dropped it in ’90 when a new marriage and raising 2 boys took precedence. He started up again in 2004 and has been to numerous local art and craft shows.

 He is a member of the Mountain Home Arts Council’s Visual Arts Committee which holds monthly shows in conjunction with the Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce called Arts After 5, an art walk through downtown Mountain Home.

 Knight is self-taught as a carver, but has had some formal training in painting, pottery and jewelry. He is also a free-lance writer and has been published in such varied magazines as  Mother Earth News, BackHome and Computer Edge Magazine.

 All of the coloring on the carvings is done with a butane micro-torch. Almost all of these have been sold, but similar carvings can be ordered.

Joanne has been an active member of AdlandPro for some time but is better known to you for her network marketing activities.  This week we are bringing you something different.  Joanne has brought us a How To Exhibition.  This way you can make your own versions of the work she shows us, following the instruction from her own Craft Site


Joanne's Work and How to do it yourself

I've been crafting since 2002, and have found it to be a very relaxing and satisfying hobby. I started out doing a lot of small projects such as Christmas ornaments, but I found myself gravitating toward the more complex crafts, such as knitting, crocheting, and sewing.

As you can see by the photos, I've tried a little bit of everything. I love using commonly found items and transforming them into something unusual and interesting.

This Christmas Teddy Bear was made from a rose bowl, along with some polar fleece in tan color, as well as some scraps of rick rack and felt. You can sew the pieces together manually, or if you have a sewing machine, it goes much faster. It makes a great Christmas candy jar. I sold quite a few of those at a Christmas craft fair we had locally.

This potpourri jar is also made from a rose bowl, and all it takes is some fabric, some cotton batting, elastic, a bit of lace, and some ribbon and artificial flowers. Again, this item is created much more quickly with a sewing machine.

This beautiful Poinsettia afghan was created from a free Red Heart pattern (#928-522). I used Hunter green, white and red Red Heart^TM Comfort yarn for the project. I had some wool left over after the afghan was finished, so I made a couple of pillows to match (see photo).

I used a free pattern from Knit  Addicted called Bulky Yarn Booties to create the cute slippers shown in the picture. They are knit using two strands of wool, and are very warm and durable. They knit up in very little time, and are extremely easy to make. I also used Red Heart^TM Comfort yarn for these.

These socks and mitts are knitted using any basic mitt and sock patterns that you can find anywhere online for free. I like using the four-needle method for knitting the mittens, but there are also two-needle methods that are easier to learn for a beginning knitter. They are great sellers at craft fairs as well, although it is very hard to charge a price that reflects all of the time you put into knitting these items.





In September of last year (2006), I finally decided that it was time to start my own craft site! I had been thinking about it for quite some time, but I also have a few online marketing/webmaster sites as well, and this was already keeping me quite busy. And so Joanne's Crafts was born. I started off with just a few patterns , but was lucky enough that Patons, Bernat and Lily yarns allowed me to add their own free patterns to my site, and it's kind of exploded from there! Besides all the great free patterns, we now have a crafting reciprocal links directory, a great little crafts article directory, as well as crafts newsfeeds. In the future I intend to add a craft store to the site so that I can sell my handmade items.

I hope you'll come and visit us at our site, which features many knitting, crocheting and tatting patterns, as well as a wide range of crafts articles:

 

Blessings

 Charles Robinson
Charles is an extremely talented photographer. 
He worked 30 years in the natural resource and environmental fields. His love of nature is evident
in his photographs. We hope you enjoy Charles's work as much as we do.

   

I have lived in the small town of Prosser, Washington for over 19 years
now.  I have been fortunate to have traveled throughout the United States,
and especially in Oregon and Washington.  The natural diversified beauty
of this part of the country is unsurpassed by any other region, ranging from rugged seacoast, to fertile valleys, snow capped mountain peaks, and high
desert within a distance of less than 200 miles.

These photos are available at my website at
http://www.photosbycharlie.com. 
I am currently using the services at imagekind.com to process all of the
orders for my photographs.  Custom framing is also available for each photograph at my imagekind.com galleries.  You may also go directly
to my galleries at http://www.imagekind.com/SearchResult.aspx?search=charles+robinson

About the Artist
I was never good in drawing. Whenever I try, it
never reflected my Vision. It all changed when I got my first computer in 2000. I saw a possibility to finally realize my inner pictures. Surfing the net looking for ways. Until I came across Bryce5.5 with Daz-Studio integrated. A new world opened up. The learning curve was long. (About 2 years) Now creating a picture is not really the challenge.

Being true to myself is the real thing
