We Visited Dark Star Visuals Today.
Here Is a Photo Tour

Have breakfast or lunch, only a few steps away.

The weather was perfect for fresh rolls and good coffee outside.
The bakery is a good motivator for husbands.

I  looked over bead supplies.

There is a large selection of jewelry equipment.

Browsing for jewelry items is fun.

Benton County's Crystal Bridges American Art Museum


After just visiting Crystal Bridges this weekend, I felt a new blog was called for since virtually every frame for each piece of art work inspired new wire art designs for jewelry, not to mention the beautiful silver tree.  Each room was new and interesting inspiration for using art and jewelry in new ways to commemorate the beautiful art displayed.


The American inspiration from Indian to Andy Warhol  gave me more new ideas to interpret
wire designs for new jewelry designed to honor ideas shown in the thoughtful artwork arrangements from Indians, and their jewelry, to the frames used for the older art for necklaces and bracelets to celebrate these
frames for new kinds of wire art used when we make new jewelry for our own work now. 

 It has a direct influence on our designs in clothes and furnishings as a beautiful part of our past and present.  Alice Walton has chosen carefully the most representative pieces to celebrate our past and present as Americans.

Alice Walton and her family built this for everyone to enjoy.
