Jim & Holly Galante
"We intend to weld all Maine's rusted metal paraphernalia into some form of whimsical
and fun sculpture" Jim &
Holly Galante have been involved in the art & craft business since the early 70's. Most recently,
their metalsmithing has created the wonderful and whimiscal "critters" of Yard Garb. Through
art shows hundreds of the the little buggers have brought fun to people in Maine, New England and across
the country www.Yard-Garb.com . They are mostly made from all found and recycled metals. Jim & Holly have learned that customers enjoy buying arts and fine crafts for a number of reasons.
A really great setting (thank you Maine Audubon) tents and displays that are attractively arranged, artists that are there
to discuss their craft and their techniques. Customers like to see a broad variety of mediums and they need
to be unique, handmade one-of-kind pieces with fair prices and a warm friendly enviroment that just feels
good. All these wonderful things can be found at this year's Audubon Show. |

Harpswell Silks scarves reflect hues of the Maine forest, sea, and sky. Janet Nannen uses a plain silk scarf as a painter uses a canvas. The scarves are washed with a special cleanser to remove any silk worm gum. Once dried the scarf is painted with hand mixed liquid dyes. Organic materials such as sand, dry grasses and wood chips, salt, and sugar may be applied. These materials can modify the look of the dye by absorbing some of it and changing the interaction of the colors. An amazing art form. Visit Janet's website at www.Hand-Dyed-Silk-Scarves.com  The idea for Travelers came to Susan Barnes when she was
pregnant. She wanted to make a figure her children could hang on the wall to inspire their imaginations about other lands
and other people. She made the first one in 1970 using recycled cloth, plaster, paint, clay, feathers, stones, shells
& beads. Susan has been making figures all her life... drawings, paintings, and sculptures. Over the years the Travelers
have changed and blossomed. www.CargoStudios.org |
