Welcome to 5 Acre Arts
    ... an Artist Collective

Lynda Abare hails from the high desert -- north of Phoenix, Arizona.  Her longtime dream of a simple desert house surrounded by wildlife and desert flora came true and provides ample inspiration and motivation for her newest venture, "5 Acre Arts... an Artist Collective". 

We’re glad you came to visit and we hope you’ll discover some new favorite(s) -- check out our Mixed Media, PMC, Chainmaille, Handmade Books and Journals, Repujado (metal embossing), Painted Papers, and more -- just click HERE, or one of the photo inserts below, for electronic access to the artists and their creations at 5 Acre Arts.

January 2010

TwentyTen, a new decade.  Rotund, gloriously welcome 2010, was ushered in last night by a wondrous and bright Blue Moon.  Technically an extra full moon in a calendar month -- a blue moon -- occurs every 2.5 years.  The even rarer New Year’s Eve Blue Moon only appears every 19 years.  There won’t be another Blue Moon rising on New Year’s Eve until 2028.  Mark your calendars!

Wishing everyone the peace and harmony associated with the winter solstice and an art-filled, happy and healthy 2010.
