Thermopolis, along with refreshments, make it
and take it art ornaments and demonstrations.
New artist Paul Bleicher, of Ten Sleep, has
been carving cottonwood bark for the past twelve
years. Because each piece of bark is unique, no
two carvings are the same. All of his pieces are
hand carved with a variety of knives and chisels.
While Bleicher has carved many things, he tends
to focus on whimsical houses, Santas, and sh.
Sherry Stottler, of Worland, enrolled in a oneday pastel class and that is all it took to create
a passion and a purpose upon her retirement as
a Presbyterian minister. Stottler has taken several workshops since then and continues to love
the absorbing and stimulating feeling she gets as
she approaches a blank sheet of sanded paper.
Jeanette Porter, of Worland, learned to do dough
ornaments from a friend while living in Kenai,
Alaska. Porter says dough art is fun and therapeutic. Porter is now teaching her art to Kristin
Buckman, of Worland. They will have their dough
ornaments on display.
Diana Scranton, of Worland, will also be displaying beadwork including bracelets, necklaces and
earrings. Scranton stopped doing beadwork and
for many years she collected a variety of beads to
use in the future. She now has several creations
available.
Other artists include Tammy and RLou Blackmon (knitted gifts) and Terry Sani (handmade decoys). Dennis Russell returns to the show with his
hand carved wooden caricatures. New artists Tracy Linko and Susan Linko will also join the show.

Phyllis Baker will feature her handmade goose
egg ornaments. The ornaments will be sold as
a fundraiser for the Hot Springs County Museum. The museum staff has many ideas for improving displays, like the Hot Springs State Park section. One of their goals is to raise money to make

the Buffalo in Hot Springs State Park.
