Sunset at Walker River Nevada State Park from campsite 08

We are going north at the end of the week. We have two nights at the Walker River Nevada State Park. Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park is not far by dirt road from the Walker River for photographing a great ghost town. Then up to Washoe Lake Nevada State Park for three nights. Washoe Lake is right below Lake Tahoe making a it great day trip. Then back next week home down CA 395.

Art o Mat has excepted my copper bookmark. The inspiration for Art-o-mat came to artist Clark Whittington in June 1997. He’s recycling cigarette machines to sell art work the size of a pack of cigarettes. He’s gone from 1 machine to about 200 machines across the country. In 2013 I found two Art o Mat recycled cigarette machines in the Cosmopolitan Hotel Casino Las Vegas, NV. I sent in some of my ceramic tiles and they were excepted for Art o Mat machine. A year later my back went out and gave up ceramic. I will be trying to get this shipment of copper bookmarks out this week.

Jalama Beach Campground is a great place to unplug. It’s about 14 miles from the nearest cell tower. The campground is south of Vanderburgh and west of Santa Barbra California.

Every feather is different. I cut copper feathers out of a sheet copper. Then oxidize the copper with household chemicals to get patinas that can be deep purple, dark blue and turquoise. The patina is sealed with lacquer. The copper feathers are attached to a 5” x 7” card.
This bookmark is for sale on my Etsy https://johngregg.etsy.com


I’m having fun with copper patina agin. I have some new copper patina feather on a 5″ x 7″ card and a small piece of copper sheet on a 2′ x 3′ card.
I can get lost in my art work, as I add layers of color, and adding depth and texture to my art.
