More goodies from a great meeting of wonderful friends.! Bertie, aka Bertlady, gave me these way cool images that I can hardly wait to play with. That butterfly in the front is on metal. How cool is that?
She also hand made the two ornaments in the bg. Bertie is one very talented lady. She even brought a gourd that she had stamped and carved on so she could explain how she did it. It was beautiful. I have had a small one in my truck for over a year now. I hear they take awhile to dry, so I have kept in on the floor by the heater. I think it is dry! hehe Anyway, I can hardly wait to try stamping and carving on it. Thanks Bertie for your inspiration! Might just have to buy that drummel tool I have thought about for a long time but had no REAL reason for it. Got a reason now! lol
Please friends, leave my new friend Bertie some love, then be sure to visit her gallery. You will be surprised by all her art. It is way cool!
So enjoyed meeting you in person. It just makes all those wonderful comments you leave all that more special........TFL :0)

Well, it figures Bertie would give you something as incredible as this metal butterfly. Her artwork is amazing. I don't think there's anything she can't make into a piece of art. What a real treasure you have here. So glad you all got to meet!! TFS!

Oh my, will you just look at these wonderful gifts! That metal butterfly is magnificent. Even though Bertie explained the technique, you have to know I have no idea what she was talking about. It should have been just the 2 of you meeting: artists always understand other artists! What a wonderful collection of fabulous goodies our friend Bertie passed on to you.
