Earlier this year I spent some time in Lucky Fork - a beautiful, somewhat remote location situated along the Cumberland Plateau in the Appalachian foothills of eastern Kentucky. I wrote about it and posted pictures last May, if you are interested you can see re-read and see the photos here.
On my last trip there I met a couple that lived across the road from where I was staying. The wife, Dawn is talented in many crafts and has a wonderful outdoor area where she displays many of her creations - I only wish I had taken a photo. There were yard signs, wind chimes, bird feeders, dream catchers, different types of gourd art, painted rocks among other things - and with the exception of a very few items, she makes all art using found objects.
I recently received one of her dragon gourds, I just love it! In addition to that she sent miniature furniture which her husband makes. They will make perfect doll displays. While I was in Kentucky - I gave her Jilly Berry as a trade. I love trades!
For size comparison - I have added a 6 inch tube of beads.
