The Ashe County Arts Council is located in a cute stone house downtown. The front room is filled with items for sale made by local artists. There is pottery, jewelry, books and paintings. The next room houses changing exhibits. This month the theme is trees to celebrate the 75th anniversary of these famous words by Joyce Kilmer :
I think that I shall never see...a poem as lovely as a tree. There are paintings, photos, sculptures, handmade books, paper and fiber crafts that depict trees, forests, leaves and all things related to trees.
What really caught my attention was this mural that is made from real tree trunks and moss.
I asked hubby if we could make something like that and his said, rather curtly, "NO". But that won't keep me from thinking of a way to replicate it...
Here are a few of my other favorite items:

Aren't they great???

For such a small county, we have a wonderful arts council. Every year they arrange plays, musical events, the literary festival, monthly gallery crawls, barn quilts, holiday concerts, and they beautify downtown with art work and murals. Now, where did I put my axe?
