Ric Rac: Judy Boyer Finnegan

Judy has been in Ric Rac since the very first show, she is a RRR alumni! Originally she just did ceramics, but recently she's been working with linoleum prints. This year will be a nice variety of both.

"I have my tea bag dishes this year and my incense burners again. I will have some wheel thrown items as well this year, tumblers, bowls, etc.. New glazes include a bright Sunset Red and Sea Spray. Linoleum prints: portraits, chickens, cats and dogs."

Can't wait to see you at the roundup, Benandi!

Hey Ric Rac Roundupers this is Sandi aka Benandi (oh boy, excuse that that rhymed) and I couldn't be more excited to see you this year at the Summer Ric Rac Roundup. It's going to be amazing! There are so many talented handmade artists that you'll be wowed! In years past I have offered a variety of plush critters and I will still have a handful available. But this year I'm super excited to announce that I've ventured into jewelry and accessories (magnets, brooches, pendants, etc.)  and are cutting my designs via laser. I'll also be offering up a a handful of my illustrative prints and stickers. I hope to see you there and make sure to come by and say hello!  I'd love to meet you. :) xo sandi
