Yes, we hosted a special Labor Day even LAST Friday, however TOMORROW FRIDAY SEPT. 6th  4 -7 pm..is the actual First Friday of the Month and we're hosted another Art Open House (In case you missed last weeks event!)...
Tomorrow's Featured Artist is Full time Local resident, BRENDA LEE GIBSON!  Brenda's classic, romantic painting style is unlike any of our other artists that we feature here at The Lake House.  Her Portraits and Still Life Paintings are so realistic you feel you can reach right into the image and touch the subject!  You don't want to miss these amazing paintings and the opportunity to meet Brenda!

The Lake House goes 3D!

 

  Porcelain Lithophane Night Lights

Come on in and check out our newest addition to The Lake House!  These gorgeous night lights are actually a lost art form from the 1800's called Lithophanes.  The concept was invented in 1827 in France, when it was discovered that a three dimensional image could be produced by shining light through a carving of varied thicknesses in porcelain.  These artworks are made by first carving the image into soft wax, while lit from behind.  The translucent wax allows the artist to see the picture emerge as he works.  A plaster mold is taken from the carving, then porcelain is cast from this mold.  The porcelain plaques are then fired to 2300F., to achieve their extreme density and amazing translucency.  We have 7 different styles varying from Pinecones to a beautiful Woodland Sunbeam. 

October is National Breast Cancer Month: ARTFUL BRA CHALLENGE!

All four of us girls at the store decorated a Bra for the "ARTFUL BRA CHALLENGE" that is a charity event sponsored by the soroptimists that raises money to pay for mamorgrams, for women who can afford them. Our decorative creations are hanging in the store at the moment and are included in he Blue Jay "Quilt Walk" event.  They raise money by taking "votes" for the best Bra..each vote is $1...no limit to number of votes anyone can buy! All of us at the store have been personally effected by Cancer, so we felt it would be fun to support such a good cause.
