Studio Tour offers more art for the effort



This past weekend's 10th Yellow Springs Artist Studio Tour paired up guest artists with local host studios to give participants more art for their effort.




Artist Studio Tour guests take in host artist Kathy Verner Moulton's display of colorful digital paintings, notecards, prints and children's books. Guest artist Cynthia McDonald of Wild Gourd Studio is pictured with her hand-carved gourds, talking with Hays Moulton.





Studio tour participants joke with guest artist Alice Young-Basora of Nina Carina. Alice displays her jewelry featuring hand-painted canvas, fabric, and beads made from recycled paper.
