Festival takes on a spiritual aura By RENEE FITESpecial Writer “It’s functional, wearable art,” Lamb said of her hand-painted silk scarves. “It combines my love of printmaking with water color.”
Irises, dragons, peacock feathers and the Illinois River adorn the soft and pretty accessories, along with little blessings, quotes and scriptures. Towry learned beadmaking from her mother, Judy, who travels the world buying individual beads. “She’s from Maryland, and my parents met here at college,” she said, laughing. “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for NSU.” Both Towry had fine-beaded jewelry available for sale. “It’s a great way to spend time when not at our booth, and it’s for good causes,” Towry said. As the cousins headed toward the silent auction items, Lamb added, “it’s an interesting combination of different groups and causes.” Belly dancers Clara (Robinson) Corn and Traci Clark entertained many of the visitors who watched their smooth swaying motions, accompanied by a drum beat or recorded music. Corn also had wands covered in fabric, coins and shells; jewels representing air, fire, water and earth colors and energy; and hand-painted shoes. Lessons and performances can be scheduled from Corn at shimmering_shimmy@yahoo.com. Debbie Duvall came to show her support for her friends at Lucid Dreams and sell her baskets, husband Murv Jacobs’ paintings and Frankoma plates and the couple’s books. “The people here are really interesting and different,” Duvall said. “This is great.” The Festival of Spirit and Art continues today at the Community Building.
