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!

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 Jewelry – Artist #70  from Oakhurst, California, will be featuring “wearable art” jewelry that has been seen in Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Fashion Magazines. Her entire collection in addition to a special, limited edition fruit exhibit “Sierra Berries” will be exhibited and available for purchase or special order. The Sierra Berries pieces have been made with hand-blown glass fruit by Russian lampwork glass artisan Anastasiya Krylova. Pictures of these will be forthcoming…

Gay Abarbanell – Artist #71  from North Fork, California, featuring photography. “Images flow in and through me and my camera as well as my pen, in a spirit dance which I strive to share in my photography and poetry.The beauty and mystery of the unique and the mundane beckon to be expressed in unusual, creative and even abstract forms. I incorporate line, color, shape and imagination to create exciting images! Come share the MAGIC!”
  Ron D. Young – Artist #72 from Fish Camp, California. “His quest to capture the essence of Half Dome with his camera, in all its moods and seasons, has led him on countless backcountry hikes, backpacking trips, cross country ski trips and 22 ascents to the top of Half Dome. Ron brings his design talent, an artistic appreciation for the use of sunlight, shade and shadow, color and texture, and an architect’s sense of space which he brings to his photographic avocation. His collection of Half Dome images speak for themselves, they draw the viewer to this special place, into the experience, and to the spirit of Yosemite.”  Gorgeous huge prints will be on display some measuring up to eight feet in length:

Some of this work can be seen now at a preview exhibit going on at the Stellar Art Gallery.

Hope to see you there!

One of My Favorite Julia Bristow Necklaces – Harold Cooney Glass

Tags

artisan, casual, fashion, Harold Cooney, Jewelry, Julia Bristow, natureinspired, necklace

This is one of my favorite casual necklaces to wear with almost anything. It is a hollow Harold Cooney Glass bead pendant, turquoise chunks, wood and glass strung on knotted silk cord. The pendant looks so natural and unlike glass, almost like a sand dollar, shell or sea urchin, and feels soft to the touch.  I constantly reach up to touch it just because it feels good to my fingertips. It is gorgeous. Sometimes I just have to keep the pieces I make!    On Instagram I have a video of the front and back.
