Happy Paper Bag Day!
It's July 12, so it must be National Paper Bag Day. According to the National Day Calendar, "Millions of people use paper bags every day. Readily recyclable, paper bags have been around for many years. American inventor, Francis Wolle, received credit for his patent of the first paper bag machine in 1852. Margaret E. Knight became known as 'the mother of the grocery bag' after she designed the square, flat bottomed bag and the machine that would fold and paste them in 1870."

The Dog Days of Summer describes the most oppressive period of summer, between July 3rd and August 11th each year. But where did the term come from? And what does it have to do with dogs?"

And she enjoys that everyone sees something different. Leah loves textures, circles, and using lots of translucent layers to create the illusion of depth and atmosphere. She also claims to have an almost unhealthy attraction to a cer

Signature Pens by Barry
Barry Reifman is a longtime Arizona resident who has been involved with woodturning for approximately 10 years. His main focus is to make beautiful handmade pens, but he has been known to turn some awesome bowls also. Working on a lathe, Barry starts with a square pen "blank" or a piece of aged wood, and he transforms it into the pens you can see in his showcase.

Joan Hanson's Alcohol Inks
Alcohol inks are brightly colored dye-based paints often used create free-flowing textures. Joan Hanson uses alcohol inks to create abstract and floral pieces, as well as images from nature.
