Happy Twenty Twelve!
If each person would resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty two persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment.”
Happy New Year everyone!
I spent new years making magnets out of stuff I had around the house! ( which made me happy)
With just a few days left in 2011, I have been working on trying a few new things.
Check out my new one of a kind stainless steel and glass wine stoppers.
These were all made from scraps that my fellow artist friend Teresa Harpster provided. I am making magnets out of the rest of the scraps of glass.
Happy Holidays!
I am excited for 2012 the year of the Dragon! In preparation I have recently added an available work tab so you can see what I currently have finished and where each piece is currently located. http://cynthiafreese.com/available-work/
After the first of the year I will be sharing photos of some of my new projects.
For fun this holiday season my husband and daughter made Origami. I found this pattern online and thought some of you might have fun making one. 
For the complete pattern visit :

I appreciate all your likes and comments on my photos of work! Happy Holidays!
Winter Wonderland
Prosser Washington is a real winter wonderland
Last week I traveled from the wet side of the state to the east side of the state to participate in a holiday art in Prosser Washington. I am still here taking in the beauty if the landscape.The show was finished Sunday but I am still here visiting with friends and soaking up the beauty of the country side. I am not a photographer but the country side is so lovely I had to get out the i pad and snap a few photos to share.
Okay you caught me, I did include one photo of my latest piece that is available at the Sixth Street Gallery. I also had to include a photo of the new gallery sign as the owner calls my art Urban Chic!
Happy Holiday Seasons!
Step 1- in the beginning
People often ask me how I decided what I will create. I generally start with a small pile of stuff and just look at it until I get an idea, moving stuff around and stacking it different ways until it feels right. Some times it takes awhile to find the finishing touches to make a piece complete.
I see three birds and a table in these pictures. What do you see?
Holiday Gifts
It has been a cold frosty weekend in Prosser,Washington. I have collected a couple dozen wine bottles and plan to make some candles for Christmas gifts.
Before leaving each winery with empty bottles I was forced to do some wine tasting, it was hard work but well worth the effort.
Mercer Estates Winery
While setting up for the art show I had asked for empty bottles. This is a sample of the new Evergirl Art Prosser Winery Candles. I can’t wait to get back to the winery tomorrow to pick up more wine. The 2007 Merlot is amazing.
Brand New!
This piece stands 41 inches high and is 30 inches across.
I just picked up a 30 inch across piece of glass for the top.
Over the mountain and through the woods…. to an art event I go..
I was planning to get up early this morning and head out to the Mercer Estates Winery on the Eastern side of the state. I was dreading the drive as I had no music to take with me. I came into my office and found the below on my desk.
I can hardly wait to get on the road to see what I have to listen to!
