Temari are displayed in art museums in Japan<br />A Temari is given as a gift on an auspicious occasion. It is believed that<br />Temari bring brilliance, joy, long life, and good fortune to the recipient.<br /><br />I have been working on mastering this form of craft for at least 10 years. I love to use unusual color combinations, but sometimes work in black, white, and grey.<br />In America, people particularily enjoy displaying Temari at Christmas time. But Temari can be displayed at any time. I place a huge bowl of Temari in the center of my dining room table!<br /><br />You can always find a display of my Temari for sale at the gallery, and I would be happy to design one for you in your favorite colors!!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1690181803153555993-7142209002692438505?l=thegatewaygallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Trish Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07577165453107774241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690181803153555993.post-86988442612554210862011-07-11T17:48:00.000-07:002011-07-11T17:48:18.827-07:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YUOnS8BLd_M/ThuZmB2hM7I/AAAAAAAAA-g/_V1EePT701s/s1600/mcroft2+RGB+3x3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YUOnS8BLd_M/ThuZmB2hM7I/AAAAAAAAA-g/_V1EePT701s/s400/mcroft2+RGB+3x3.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pottery by Melinda Croft</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">For the Month of July, the Gateway Gallery is featuring the work of potter Melinda Croft, lampwork artist Katy Stidley, painter Rebecca Tighe, and digital painter Jan Blacka.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Please join us for a reception on&nbsp;<strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday, July 15 </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">from</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> 6 to 9pm</span></strong> with an opportunity to talk with the artists, enjoy wine, art, and free refreshments. &nbsp;The Round Hill Art Center and Bogati Bodega winery will be open during the reception as well.</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1690181803153555993-8698844261255421086?l=thegatewaygallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16775864971912113731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690181803153555993.post-5560137533738646622011-07-11T16:29:00.000-07:002011-07-11T16:29:27.876-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ulAhe5DcHtM/ThuFzEYmuTI/AAAAAAAAA-c/vDhttcot2XQ/s1600/CCheaderlogogreen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="87" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ulAhe5DcHtM/ThuFzEYmuTI/AAAAAAAAA-c/vDhttcot2XQ/s400/CCheaderlogogreen.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Welcome to the Gateway Gallery and Gift Shop blog.
