Thank You Etsians!
The seller Leaves of Clay created a wonderful “Etsy treasury” showcasing artwork only of TREES!
One of those trees was my small painting titled “HAVEN” that is for sale in my Lisa Rivas Etsy store. This treasury was then featured on Etsy’s “front page”!
I happen to be away and on vacation when this occurred with no way to capture this moment!
So this screen-shot was kindly emailed to me by the following sellers:
leavesofclay, flytie, ElizabethGraf, paperartstudio.
To all of you, thank you, thank you and thank you!
ETSY is an amazing community of artists and artisans
that support, appreciate and cheer each other!
“To dwellers in a wood, almost every species of tree has its voice as well as its feature.”

Glass e-Stamp…
This summer I took the “Fused Glass” workshop at the Sarratt Studio Arts / Vanderbilt University. Our instructor was Nancie Roark, an artist that combines fused glass with silver jewelry techniques to create wonderful wearable art.
It was a fabulous class and I made all kinds of things from pendants, earrings, glass frames, a slumped bowl to a whole new little art-series of “BUGS”!
Here is one of the “bugs” I made, used as an illustration for a web-e’Stamp!
More of these will be coming up…
“The Glasshopper”
• fused glass illustration printed as an archival pigment print, 100% rag paper
Grasshoppers have two pairs of wings, five eyes and no ears.
They hear with an auditory structure called “tympanum”,
that is located on their two front legs near the “knee” joint!
