Fun at the Fair!

-
It's Fall Fair Season again! I had a wonderful time cutting Silhouettes, doing Caricatures and Portraits this last weekend at the Franklin County Fair, in my hometown, Greenfield ,Ma!


I got to see a lot of family, even some I haven't seen in years! Everyone in the craft tent was very helpful and friendly, and felt like family after the two days!


These are a few of the silhouettes I cut there!Some of these are now offered as samples in my Etsy shop!

I'm still cleaning out my portfolios and I recently found a booklet I illustrated once about Religion in the USA. I was living in Connecticut at the time. It was entitled Religion USA and was produced by a company called Happy History, Inc. It's goal was to celebrate the diversity of religions that were present in the area at that time. These are some of the religious symbols I was asked to draw for the book. I thought it would be fun to share these during the Holiday season. I was asked to draw this as a symbol of the Baha'i concepts on the Oneness of Religion. Torah- Judiasm Christian Cross Menorah-Judiasm This symbol- the Crown of Thorns was included in the book as a Christian Science symbol Another pretty Menorah Happy Holidays!
