For Linda Lantzy, the 58th Art on the Green on Saturday was another snapshot of North Idaho life.<\/p>\n
And as a photographer, she was happy to showcase the landscape images she’s captured in the region.<\/p>\n
“To me, it’s all about the light. You can have a great subject to put in the frame, but you really must have good lighting,” she said on a sunny, hot day at North Idaho College.<\/p>\n
She started Idaho Scenic Images in 2006 and has traveled thousands of miles throughout Idaho since starting her business.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“It’s hard to get up at 2 or 3 a.m. sometimes living here in northern Idaho,” she said. “I often have to travel to Montana and come back via Lost Trail Pass to take a great photo, but it’s worth doing so.”<\/p>\n
Mike and Molly Bennett, owners of Tahoe Fire Glass, traveled from South Lake Tahoe to display their handmade jewelry at Art on the Green.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Molly said her artistic creativity started at a young age.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I’ve been one of those little crafters all my life. I started doing ceramics, macrame and candles, but ceramics has always been my field,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Molly said it took her a while to perfect the molds, but she made porcelain jewelry for years.<\/p>\n
“Then my supplier started selling glass. I had the kiln already, so I started playing around with it,” Molly said. “I initially sold porcelain and glass jewelry but eventually went exclusively with glass. After all these years, I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface with it. It’s amazing what you can do with glass.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Molly said she and Mike have had a booth at the Taste of Coeur d’Alene for several years, but it is the first time they’ve displayed their jewelry at Art on the Green.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We’ve been well received here \u2014 have had a lot of people stop by our booth and that feels great. We hope to be back again next year,” she said.<\/p>\n
Art on the Green, Taste of Coeur d’Alene and the Street Fair wrap up today.<\/p>\n
Lantzy has also published five books. Her first, Discovering Idaho’s Scenic Drives & Back Roads Treasures, was published in 2019. It was followed by Barns of Idaho, Coeur d’Alene-Heart of it All, Idaho, Home of my Heart, and Incredible Idaho-Exploring Majestic Landscapes and Native Wildlife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her books can be found at Pilgrims Market and The Well-Read Moose.<\/p>\n
