Downtown Art

This weekend Arachne Yarns and More, EASE Fabric Creations, Cathy Mueller Art and Callie Howell were open for a three day event in downtown Ortonville, MN. It was a very busy weekend in town and we had a lot of visitors!
















Erlys Sis, (EASE Fabric Creations), does amazing things with fabric, wool and found objects. She is so incredibly creative and always surprises me with her latest creations. She makes the most wonderful 'Spirit Dolls'. She also does quilting, needle-felting, thread sketching, and so much more. She has wonderful scarves, wall hangings, cards, and many more items for sale. Great for gifting or decoration or even wearing! A must see.

Cathy Mueller is a watercolorist and also works with pen and
ink. I have one of her drawings on my
wall now and am constantly eyeing more! Cathy has been painting for many years and creates beautiful paintings as well as being an excellent teacher. I am looking forward to her classes!

Callie Howell, also a painter, works with acrylics, oils and epoxy. She has a style of painting that is very different from Cathy's and her paintings are all very unique. She has some exciting abstract paintings, a 'must see' exhibit. Locals may be familiar with her work from her exhibits at Ortonville Area Hospital.













Through out the weekend we had a 'Make and Take' section where visitors could weave a mug rug, paint a picture, or needle felt a pendent or bookmarker. All these activities were free. We had a lot of budding artists participating! The tables were full almost all the time!. We also sold kits that they could buy and do at home if they found a new passion.
