Above is a close-up of Marylynn Devereaux Bowman's exquisite fused glass, copper and steel uh... gardeny thingy translucing evening light.
Below are: Norman Kary's Breaking Through the Brown Fog of Night mixed media collage looks like a cross between last year's game theme and this year's garden. Backyard Bass by Ben James of garden hose, tools - a detail shot of Sherry Owen's intricately pegged twig sculpture, and I managed to miss the title of Sharon Thompson's Heart Person's sleeves full of leaves and other symbols, but that's Jennifer Stufflebreen's Dragonfly 3-D Shadowbox with gold and copper bugs. And Bill Verhelst adjusting the fans on his and wife Susan Lecky's collaborative whirligigs.

Artists delivered work Friday night in Dallas and Saturday in Fort Worth. By Sunday afternoon, the pieces were laid out upstairs in the Farmers Maret Resource Building, which EASL had only till Sunday night. By late Sunday, the space was empty again.
It was an amazing accomplishment.
