Debbie Largent of Waterloo shared with me her new endeavor. In addition to being a floral designer at Memory Lane Gifts and Floral on Main Street in Columbia, she is now also one of their resident artists. She is producing "inspirational " cards that combine her photography with inspirational verses. At the present, her collection includes 20 different photographs. Some of her photographs are from her travels while others are from right in her own backyard. She carries her digital camera with her at all times just in case she needs to pull off the road and take a picture. She thanks Gary Edwards of Dupo for all his help in providing her with the spiritual verses. Debbie said that the photographs are nice by themselves and the spiritual verses are also nice, but it took both the photograph and the verse together to make the card "complete". Debbie is very excited that her cards are ready to sell and also equally excited that her name is on the back of the cards. Currently the cards can be purchased at Memory Lane and Drew's Landscaping in Evansville.
Debbie will also be participating in the Art on the Bluffs Art Walk in Columbia on Saturday, October 3rd. The Art on the Bluffs Committee is in their final push to round out the slate of participating artists. If you are interested in displaying and selling your art in the fair please get your application in as soon as possible. Applications are available at City Hall and by emailing artonthebluffs@hotmail.com. The committee is also looking for sponsors for the event. If you would like more information on the various sponsorship opportunities please contact Carol Fetcho by emailing her at dfetcho584@aol.com.
