state fair pics #4 creative arts building

all of these pictures are taken in my second favorite building, the creative arts building. these are all the arts and crafts stuff that people made. all of the stuff is displayed behind glass, so some of my pictures have unfortunate reflections in them.

this guy is made from metal. i love him! you can see the incredible detail in the piano keys and hammers.


a view of him from the other side. the artist on this one is paul e. tierney and there are more pictures of the making of this wonderful dude on his website http://www.paultierneysculptures.com/The-piano-man.html


a cute little sewn ladybug bag


monster pants, crocheted i believe


vikings helmet hat, knitted or crocheted


frog prince hat crocheted


puppy afghan, crocheted


basket weaving. as a kid i took a summer school class on basket weaving and loved it.


handmade lace or tatting (not sure which) plus hand spun hand dyed yarn on the right. forgive the blob, there was a terrible flash reflection and it looks slightly better blacked out than glaring white.


glasswork, stained glass?


wood inlay sculpture


cross stitch. i wish i'd gotten better detail on this photo, it was so intricate.


a doggy quilt


this color shaded jacket is quilted from just tons and tons of little pieces of fabric in varying but well matched shades.


wood crank toy, turn the crank and the dogs run


carved wood treehouse. this was difficult to photograph right.




stained glass lampshade


a quilt of such intricate detail i wish i'd gotten the photo better


a model of one of the vehicles from the new mad max fury road movie


not a rocking horse, a rocking tractor


metal minion


a doggy quilt. this dog is made of stuffed animal material while the rest is regular cotton.


i thought this quilt was gorgeous despite its monochrome scheme. it was also massive, at least king size.


another metal minion
