Unassuming and understated like most of his art, this authentic buoy is a canvas for it's own mirror image. Francois is a photographer who takes a step further and incorporates his images into larger pieces of art, creating almost mini-installations.</div>

This is the buoy I'd been looking forward to more than any other...I was very excited to see what Isa Raven would come up with for our buoy auction and I was not disappointed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What a lovely buoy covered in my very favorite summer flower, lupines. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isa was almost completely responsible for the design apart from a few assists from her mom, Susan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My absolute favorite part is that you can see her fingerprints in the petals of the lupines. Isa said she started with her thumbs first to make the petals at the bottom of the lupines and used smaller fingers as she went up, finishing with her pinky.</div>

I have a feeling there will only be more exciting things to come out of this young artist in the upcoming years - surely this buoy is an early work and worthy investment in the future.</div>

For whatever reason, Chris' buoy was a bit camera shy and hard to capture. I don't know if any image will ever do any of these buoys justice. </div>

The finish on it in reality looks like old bone (someone actually mistook it for a whale bone). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is rife with Chris's trademark precision, and is inked from top to bottom, following the scrimshaw theme.</div>

Because Chris means for this buoy to be displayed horizontally, and because there is a 360 degree design on it, he's even included these handy little knots to help keep the buoy in place, and they're adjustable so you can have a different view every day, if you like!</div>

Heather White is one of those people who can do anything.</div>

We all know someone like that, right? They're pretty great to have around, especially when they're as generous as Heather is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only has she donated this (awesome) buoy to our auction, but she ALSO took home a second upon dropping this one off AND has been working hard on the Arts Night committee for the past several months to make our little event shine.</div>

Appropriately titled "Shacks on the side of a buoy", Heather took a concept from her Art classes (she's the Art teacher at the Vinalhaven School) and created these 3D (but really 2D) houses out of matboard and nailed them to the buoy, which has been painted deep purple and white (with just a touch of silver for distressing)</div>

There's just something about this buoy by Jaki Peterson that makes me feel that way. I don't know if it's those flowing lines of the landscape or the way she captured the essence of Vinalhaven in a way that is uniquely her own, but it just makes me want to DO something.</div>

Jim calls this a "twig buoy" - it's very precisely constructed and has great character - I can't decide whether my favorite part is the copper around the top or the neat row of nails holding the twigs in place...or is it the pot warp?</div>
