Six Shooter

 
 
The guns are laid out on the table.
Before long they will be loaded (with pretend ammo) and ready in a beaded holster.
 

Beading a Candy Box

 
Before beads are sewn on the box is fitted with a deer hide cover. On this particular box all of the hide is covered.
 

Finishing work includes a decorative beaded edge.

Stocking the Shelves with Art

 
The display cabinet is filling up with work for upcoming shows.
 
 
Beaded heart shaped candy boxes are a new addition to the portfolio.  Lined with decorative papers, these boxes can lay or hang on the wall.  They are perfect of special keepsake items like love letters, locks of hair, and wedding vows.

Buffalo Days

Buffalo Days a time when the range was open.  Buffalo Days a time when there was little need for boarders and fences to keep in or keep out. 

Artist Gwen Fedor spiritually live in the Buffalo Days where the open range is her own creative landscape filled with unlimited possibility. 

Emerging from the fertile soil of Gwen's creative mind come beautiful one of a kind works of art. Her creations can be prosaic or complex, beautiful and utilitarian. Whether beaded, painted, sewn or sculpted Gwen's art is new and fresh yet familiar and nostalgic.  

Her style is always present like mountains supporting the changing light and seasons.  At a distance you can identify her touch on her work, but feel as if you are seeing it for the first time.


Buffalo Days blog has been established for Gwen to share her knowledge about beading and the other creative ventures.  Here she wishes to "pay it forward" to the next generation of artist.  She aims to give her knowledge and does not claim to know it all or to have the definitive method.  You will have to decide which route to take in your own work.

Come! and hop the fence and explore the open range of your own creative spirit.
