A Character Profile on Art Student Linnea Haas

Script:

“You can tell a lot about someone by their hands. They are an insight to a person’s personality, their level of creativity, their compassion, and their talent.”

“The hands of talented art student, Linnea Haas, share her passion with the world.”

“For as long as she can remember, Linnea has been drawn to creating. Whether it is drawing, painting, fibers, or metalsmithing, she finds solace in her work. Linnea prepares herself for the upcoming jewelry show where she will get to share her pieces of art with the rest of the community”

“It all begins with a million ideas that are sparked by inspiration. Through sketches and paper models, her process begins. Much of her preferred style includes annealing her metal so that she can thin it out, pickle it clean, hammer, drill holes, enamel, solder, saw, make jump rings, liver of sulfur, cast, form, and so on.”

“Linnea loves simple beauty, but lately the style she practices is abstract with some function. It is her dream to work creatively as a product designer, buyer, or stylist for a clothing company.”

“All of her hard work has finally paid off. People gather in awe of the many selections of unique, crafted jewelry. Despite the nerves she felt before the show, Linnea admits that it was a success. She sold every single piece–but in the end, the only thing that matters to her was that she loved the jewelry she has created.”

“Stay close to anything that makes you glad to be alive, and in Linnea’s case, this is her gift of creating. One look at her jewelry gives you an immediate insight into the beautiful heart and passion she has.”

 A TRIP TO LONE PINE FARMS

Clumps of pumpkins, in varying shapes and sizes, cling to their vines at Eugene’s beloved Lone Pine Farms. Visitors decide between taking the scenic route past the farm animals, while pushing wagons to bring their choice of pumpkins back, or enjoying the tractor and horse drawn rides offered. In the distance, a packed horse drawn ride takes families around the farm grounds.

A visitor at Lone Pine Farm’s holds up a Honeycrisp Apple in awe of it’s size. The apple weighed over one pound and was delicious once eaten. The market included of a variety of fresh, mouth-watering fruits and vegetables to choose from.

The “Country Roller Coaster Cow Train Trail Ride” is a highlight for pumpkin patch-goers. On a huge hilly field next to the corn maze, the Cow Train loads up squealing kids to take them for a bumpy ride.

The petting barn is a fairly new addition to Lone Pine Farms and deems to be extremely popular. From chickens to bunnies to sheep and goats, there are plenty of furry friends to pet and feed.

Next to the pumpkin patch the many acres of filbert trees can be found. With hazelnuts and fallen autumn leaves on the ground, children explore by sprinting down the shaded aisles. One visitor climbs into the branches of a filbert to get a better look at her surroundings.
