Title, Medium and Price: Subtle, Fiber, $220.00
Size in inches: 18 long, 10 wide, 9 deep
Award: First Place in the category Adult Craft
Artist: Martha B. Cowden
Dayton, Ohio
Description: The artist has created a woven cylindical form out of rough-textured fibers.
One end is closed, so the piece could function as a container for dried flowers. The
form is woven of grayish brown fibers. The fibers look as though they are the natural
color of the material, rather than dye-colored, because they have light and dark streaks
instead being one uniform color throughout. The artist has attached round forms, about
two inches in diameter, to the outside of the tall cylinder, for added texture. These are
various shades of brown: beige, dark brown and tan.

Title, Medium and Price: Geometric Puzzle, Wood, Not for sale
Size in inches: 9 long, 9 wide, 1 deep
Award: Second Place in the category Adult Craft
Artist: Verne R. Sanford
Valparaiso, Indiana
Description: Light and dark wood pieces have been shaped to create a puzzle. The
pieces of wood are very smooth and well-crafted. The perimeter of the puzzle is a
square. There is one small light square in each corner of the larger square. A triangle
fills the spaces between each square, with its flat edge against the outer rim of the
puzzle and its point facing inward toward the center. This arrangement of squares and
triangles creates an open space in the center that is shaped like an x. This x-shaped
space is filled with eight pieces of dark wood that are shaped so they come to a point in
the center of the puzzle.

Size in inches: 7 long, 6 wide, 1 deep
Award: Honorable Mention in the category Adult Craft

the pot is made of two round shapes that have been put together to form a hollow form.
A small rectangular shape on the bottom of the piece creates a flat foot. A smooth and
shiny white glaze has been applied over the red-brown clay. Since the white glaze is
transparent in the areas where it is applied thinly, some of the original clay color shows
through.

leaves have been colored with white and green glaze. The separate pieces of clay
have been strung together with wire, so that they hang one above the other, but still
close enough that they touch each other when the wind blows them. They are
arranged with the largest leaves at the top of the sculpture and smaller leaves near the
bottom. They make a pleasant tinkling sound when the wind blows.

Title, Medium and Price: Coya, Clay, Not for Sale
Size in inches: 5.5 long, 4 wide, 4 deep
Award: Honorable Mention in the category Adult Sculpture,
Artist: Maria Isabel Guersi
School: Asociation de Ayunda al Ciego in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Description: This sculpture of a woman holding pots is made of light red-brown clay.
She appears to be sitting with her legs tucked under her body. She is holding one pot in
her lap, while several other rest on the ground in front of her knees. She is looking
down toward the pot in her lap, but you cannot see much of her face because of the
large round hat she wears. The sculpture looks very graceful because of the way the
artist has used rounded shapes and smooth edges. The hat, the pots, the bottom of the
woman's skirt and even the curve of her arms contribute to the smooth lines that join the
parts of the figure so that they flow gracefully into each other.

Title, Medium and Price: Schooner, Mixed media, $385.00
Size in inches: 24 long, 18 wide, 3 deep
Artist: Zena Reubel
School: Braille Institute, Los Angeles, California
Description: The artist has created a picture of a ship on the ocean from clay and fiber.
The sky behind the ship and the water beneath it are flat, but they have an interesting
tactile quality because they are made of small colored tiles held together by plaster.
The ship is shown with sails unfurled. The white clay sails and the brown hull are
sculpted so that they are raised about three inches above the surface of the
background. The hull of the boat is covered with a plant fiber that reminds one of the
texture of wood. Some of the waves in the ocean are sculpted so that they rise above
the flatter surface of the rest of the water. The ship looks as though it is moving very
rapidly through the waves.

Title, Medium and Price: Crush, Colored Pencils, $275.00
Size in inches: 12 long, 18 wide
Award: Second Place in the category Adult Two-Dimensional Art,
Artist: Samantha Green
Auburn, Maine
Description: This whimsical view of a classroom features students who are obviously
not enjoying the lesson. One blows a large bubble, another balances a book on his
head and others are asleep. The central figures of the piece are a boy and a girl. The
boy is drawn on the right center portion of the picture. His chin rests on his hands and
he has stuck out his tongue in disgust. A smiling girl is seated a couple of rows of
behind and to the left of the boy. She has cupped her head in her hands and is leaning
to one side. She stares at the boy with half-closed eyes—very much in love. The
picture is drawn with colored pencils. Most of elements in the picture are colored in a
light and sketchy fashion. However, the figures of the children are drawn in great detail
and the colors are deeper.

Award: Third Place in the category Adult Two-Dimensional Art
Artist: Carmelo C. Gannello
Oak Park, Illinois
Description: A football is shown going over the goal post. The football image has a
double meaning in that the ball also is the shape of an eye. Circular shapes on the
surface of the ball remind one of the iris and lens of an eye. The work is printed in black
ink on white paper.

Los Angeles, California
Description: Red, yellow, and purple paint has been brushed onto two pieces of white
paper to create an abstract design. The paint strokes were applied with a wide brush
and look as though they were done quickly and energetically. The two pieces of the
picture were mounted on a larger piece of white paper, with a small space between
them so that the two individual pictures become one.
