Within My Heart ~ Psalm 40

November 23, 2017October 31, 2017 / Angela Umphers Rueger / 2 Comments

I will not hide God’s righteousness, faithfulness, and salvation in my heart. No way! Those, along with His loving-kindness and truth, must be proclaimed.

Lifted Up ~ Psalm 30

October 19, 2017October 9, 2017 / Angela Umphers Rueger / 2 Comments

“I will lift You up, O Lord, because You have lifted me up.” This reminds me of I John 4:19, “We love Him, because He first loved us.”

Singing I Go

My God shall be forever praised For He has taught my heart to sing “He Lifted Me.”

The God in the Valley: A Bipolar Story

September 23, 2017September 22, 2017 / Angela Umphers Rueger / 5 Comments

This morning as I read Psalm 71, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Angela, this is what I’ve done for you. Tell them.” And I will. But first, you need a glimpse of the miry clay from which He lifted my feet.

Forsaken ~ Psalm 22

God does not promise us a life without suffering, but He does promise to go through it with us. 

The Hard Way

September 20, 2017September 4, 2017 / Angela Umphers Rueger / 7 Comments

It was hard for me to admit that I was unfit to be my children's teacher, but the plain truth was that I needed help on many levels. Life was hard. Life is hard, but just then it was like flint, and as dark as pitch.

Does Jesus Care?

September 17, 2017June 29, 2018 / Angela Umphers Rueger / 4 Comments

The disciples, with whom Jesus walked and talked every single day, asked Him, "Carest Thou not that we perish?" Of course He cared. But Jesus had a plan that was bigger than what they could see. He still does.

Hello. I am a joyful wife and mother of three, just turned loose the last of my little chicks, and getting ready to spread my own writing wings. Twenty-six years ago I earned a B.A. in English because my heart's desire was to write. Since that time I've worked as a teacher, musician, cleaning lady, tax professional, and artist, but never as a writer. In the past year, several friends have encouraged me to pick up the baton and run with it. By creating this blog, I took the first baby step toward becoming a published author. The journey will likely be longer than I can imagine, but it has finally begun, and that's all that matters.

Introducing a brand new blog and website dedicated to my art..... The link is in my profile above, and it's very easy to remember: Encore! Old Pianos (minus the spaces and punctuation). . Here you will find articles and photos about the process of how I create my piano art pieces, the history of the pianos that come to me (or at least their manufacturers), and news regarding art shows and craft fairs where Encore! Old Pianos will be participating as a vendor. . I'll also take part in weekly photo challenges hosted by my fellow bloggers, or curate a post from another blogger. In short, I'll try to keep the site interesting and mildly eclectic while not straying too far from the main focus of piano art. . And for those interested in purchasing an item for yourself or a loved one, you'll find a link to my Etsy shop. . So do stop by my new blog, and be sure to follow to receive updates in your inbox. . . #blogger #pianokeyart #pianoart #pianoartist #wordpressblogger #lovetoblog #woodart #reclaimedwoodart #upcycledart #upcycledpiano #pianoblogger #etsysellers #encoreoldpianos #giftsformusicians
Music is my favorite accessory.... Introducing "Accentato," because our accessories are our visual accents. Three of these jewelry hangers came into the family last week, and one of them went home to a new family over the weekend. They are made from a section of the key pin rail (tips painted white and black) and a piece from a piano lid, with wippens and letup buttons to adorn the corners. I added the vinyl lettering and attached the two pieces from behind. Accentato is perfect for hanging each necklace separately so that none of them get tangled. Not only that, but it's a beautiful way to keep an old piano alive and useful. . . #piano #pianoart #pianoartist #wooddecor #woodart #handcrafted #etsy #etsysellers #encoreoldpianos #giftsformusicians #jewelrylover #jewelry
It's a good day for a Holiday Craft Show. We will be here today and tomorrow, and we're super excited because we have some brand new items on the table. If you are anywhere near Destin, do stop by because the community center is full of amazing vendors. . . #piano #pianoart #pianoartist #wooddecor #woodart #handlettering #handcrafted #etsy #etsysellers #encoreoldpianos #pianokeys #pianokeyart #christmasdecor #christmaspiano #giftsformusicians #snowmen #handmadeornaments #craftshow #destinflorida
Here's a quick WIP photo of today's work. I have finally decided to make more Bach Yard Chickens. The first one sold within 15 minutes of opening, but a lack of self confidence has held me back from making another one until now. The next step is the hardest---painting the little girl. I would cross my fingers, but that might make it hard to hold the brush. :) If she doesn't get done tomorrow, she won't get done until next week.... . . #wip #piano #pianoart #pianoartist #wooddecor #woodart #handcrafted #etsy #etsysellers #encoreoldpianos #giftsformusicians #mixedmedia #backyardchickens #acrylicpainting
