Lottie Logic:  It's never too late

In 2011,   I opened an Etsy shop.  Put one item on and never checked it again.

Procrastinator Award Goes To --------  Lottie

But I'm baaaaaaaaack!

Years of failed experiments finally led to the perfect formula for Pixie Dust sprinkled
on the coils of my glass kiln that jump into my pieces while firing.  Cool!

I've made two small glass hearts with the Pixie Dust and put them on my Etsy shop.
As you know Pixie Dust give your dreams an extra push.

Perfect gift for you or a friend.

Now if I could just figure out how to remove the procrastinator dust from my person.

Lottie

My Etsy shop, only two items now, but more to com.

Bottle tree leaves State Fair of Texas

The Bottle Tree Mission - "capture and contain evil spirits".

Rockin A Artists' Elizabeth Bingham and Lynn Reagan created a Super Bottle Tree for the 2013 State Fair of Texas' Friends of Lottie Sculpture Garden.  The Super Bottle Tree stood sentry over the garden protecting the sculptures and fair goers from evil spirits.

Now appearing live in the Sculpture Capital of Texas, the bottle tree sculpture spends its days enticing evil spirits in Jewett, Texas.  Captured in Super Bottle Tree's bottles, the spirits can not escape to wreak havoc onto other sculptures and artists. 

Artists creating Super Heros - America at its best.
