The Sparkplugs, a select
within The Flashbacks
Another of our very talented
members is Fran Blackstock. She has
« enjcyed her membership in the
Buchanan Arts and Crafts for the
past three years, and is especially
. proud of many new friends she has
met through the gallery.
Fran and her husband, B.J.
“Blackie," moved to Buchanan Lake
from Abilene five years ago. Togeth-
er they built most of their home on
Ranch Road 690. Blackie is an
electrician for the City of Burnet.
Fran was reared in Cisco, Texas
where she finished high school.
After completing a correspondence
course in Improved Bookkeeping,
she worked for several businesses
through the years.
Her interests are so many — to
' name a few — drawing, painting,
sewing and crafts of all kinds,
and pattern designing. Also, many of
• -you have read ner beautiful poetry
which she writes to suit the occasion.
She especially likes to make dolls
and other things that make children
happy. Perhaps that is due to having
nine grandchildren. She says she
can't remember a time in her life
■when she didn’t “ache" to paint the
things in nature that she saw every
■ day. She regrets wasting a lot of
years because she didn’t even try to
paint due to her lack of confidence.
In the mid-seventies Blackie gave
her an oil paint set and said,
“You’ve always wanted to paint, so
doit." Needless to say, she’ll always
be grateful to him for giving her that
first push and for being her most
honest critic.
Fran’s first lessons were from
Bernice Landrum in Abilene, and
she has studied with a number of
local artists. She has learned from
every one of them. You can learn a
lot from just listening and watching
other artists.
Fran started sewing at such a
young age She stood to “treadle"
her mother’s sewing machine. She
enjoys sewing for little girls, espe-
cially, as the frills and ruffles make
her feel she really has something to
show for her efforts.
She said writing poetry runs in the
family. Her grandfather, her mother,
several aunts and cousins and two of
her brothers have written poetry
through the ye'arW
Her greatest pride is her family;
daughter Jan Angel and her hus-
band, Randy, are teachers and
coach at Santo, Texas. They have
three children: Tawni, traci and
Lance. Donna Petty and her hus-
band, Foy, work at the Hill Country
Medical Supply in Marble Falfs.
Their children are Jennifer, Joy,
Troy and three-month-old Patrick
Scott.
Bruce and his wife, Shirley, live in
Abilene, Texas with their children,
Brandy and David. Bruce is a
salesman for McLane Food Service.
Fran loves living in this part of
the state,’ where you can look out thfe
door any time and see something
interesting to paint or do.
The next regular meeting of
Buchanan Arts and Crafts is at 10:30
a.m. on August 13. However, the
board of* directors are to meet at 9
a.m. on this date and will have an
