    unfinished ornament, detail

    Preparations are under way here at our house for the Christmas at Keeneland Arts Fair over in Lexington next Saturday and Sunday.

    Eighty-one artists will be there offering crafts from baskets to wood.

    A great place to do your Christmas shopping.

    Unfinished ornament, full view

    The unfinished turned ornament shown here is made with tree of heaven (bowl) and ash (finial). The carved spoon below is cherry.

    Look for TR at booth # 21. Visit his web page to see more of his work.

    Look also for Toni Menk at booth #3. Toni is not only a great designer of glass beadwork but also a fine poet and a fellow member of the Green River Writers.

    If you miss Christmas at Keeneland, TR will also have several pieces in the Third Annual Gallery & Gifts Holiday Market at the Scott County Arts & Cultural Center. The Gallery is located in the old jailer’s house, 117 North Water Street, Georgetown, Kentucky. The show opens on November 1 and will run through December 19. Gallery hours are 12 N to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturdays, Sundays 1 to 4 pm.

    And you can always purchase his work at the Kentucky Artisan Center or Appalachian Fireside Gallery.

    I adore the spoons. They were so smooth and silky and showed off the characteristics of the wood.
