Red Tail Studio’s “Raising Swallows”

Linocut Print by Monique Wales

I was excited to have my photograph used for this printmaking artist’s vision:

“‘Raising Swallows’ is a multi-color linocut relief print made in collaboration with Yosemite Area Audubon Society, in part to benefit their truly amazing Nest Box Program. Julia Lee Bristow volunteers with the Chapter monitoring nest boxes and graciously allowed me to use her photo of a Tree Swallow as reference for this print, which will be used this Fall in a fundraising campaign to support the program. You can see “Raising Swallows” starting Saturday, September 3rd at the Sierra Art Trails Preview Show at Stellar Gallery in Oakhurst, CA.” -Monique Wales

Monique Wales of Red Tail Studio is artist #42 on the Sierra Art Trails 3-Day Open Studio tour September 30th – October 2nd!

“Raising Swallows” beautifully framed print

You can see a video of how this print was created here: The Making of “Raising Swallows”

We can both be seen in the Sierra Art Trails catalog on pages 74-75:

It was a pleasure volunteering for the nestbox program for Yosemite Area Audubon Society and I treasured the beautiful photographs I was able to take while doing so. My photograph of mama tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) and her eggs:

The photograph went “viral” on Facebook after being shared by the National Audubon Society with more than 250,000 views and 1.7K shares:

Julia Bristow Harlequin Lupine Necklace

One of my favorite flowers here in the Sierra Nevada is the Harlequin Lupine (Lupinus stiversii). It is slightly rare to see it and when you do, it is always a treat – like finding candy or bubblegum.  I attempted to create a necklace resembling this beautiful wildflower.

Although difficult to locate the exact colors, I hand-wove these flower and leaf charms using Czech glass beads and assembled necklace using wood jasper and antiqued brass findings. Below is my image of real harlequin lupine flowers:

This necklace will be one of the items on exhibit at the 14th annual Sierra Art Trails in Oakhurst, California, September 30-October 2, 10-6, where Julia Bristow Jewelry will be exhibiting as artist #30 at Class, The Body Pastiche Studio,  with artist #29, Kathy Marks, and artist #31, Karen Tillison.

Harlequin lupine – This photo is by Steve Montalto

Steve Montalto of High Mountain Images,  artist #50 in Sierra Art Trails 2016 will be exhibiting his work at the Yosemite Southgate Hotel on Highway 41.

 

Hope to see you there!
