Betty Fryga lives in a barn.
From the outside, Betty’s barn
is straight from a storybook --
little, red, freshly painted white
trim. Inside everything is thor
oughly mod.
Betty, an artist, has created
her own furniture as well as
paintings and other accessories.
•When I first moved here, I
had two chairs, bedsprings and
a mattress,” Betty said, “For
two weeks, I €*en had to eat
standing up. Building was the only
way to furnish the place.”
She began with a few borrowed
tools, some second hand boards
and the experience gained by
making a coffee table while a
student at Columbia College.
Her first endeavor, a break
fast table, is pegged rather than
nailed.
“To appreciate furniture de
sign, you really should try build
ing some,” Betty said, “The legs
at the end of this table are so
close together that a chair won’t
fit between them."
The boards for her new table
and a built-in cabinet and bar
came pre-distressed. They were
originally flats on which large
sheets of paper were stacked and
shipped.
Betty preserved some of their
rough finish and hammer goug
ings in her complete furniture.
“The result is early frontier,"
she observed.
It is. But it fits, not only with
the remodeled barn’s large liv-
ingroom, but also with Betty’s
abstract painting in shades of

blue, the bulky 1920’s sofa which
she bought for five dollars, the
two old-fashioned portraits in the
entry and the vase of paintbrushes
on the coffee table.
Formerly the garage for a re
sidence on Hampton Avenue,
Betty’s barn was originally built
to house horses and buggies. Her
bedroom was a stable.
•Although the bedroom walls
have been paneled, the stable
foundation still juts out,” Betty
said. *To conceal this on the long
wall, I built a low bench with a
padded seat and backrest at one
end.”
An abstract in red and black
dominates the other wall.
Betty took her color scheme for
the bedroom from this painting.
The curtains and a roller shade,
which she recovered, are black-
and-white print.
The bench and her desk, two
boards fitted between the closets,
are painted black. She chose
bright red material for the chair
end of the bench.
To complete the room, Betty
hung a lamp from the ceiling.
She made its cylindrical shade
from model airplane paper,
painted black.
Betty is as versatile as her
belongings.
Now art director for Jacobs
Brothers Printing Co., she is the
daughter of a Methodist minister
and has lived “all over this
state.” She was graduated in De
cember, 1967, from Columbia
College where she majored in
art and spent free hours working
on the yearbook and literary mag
azine.
After graduation, she worked
for the college’s public relations
department, teaching herself
photography and writing for the
alumnae magazine.
She has sold several of her
paintings and other works. Her
drawing ability won her a blue
ribbon in the 1968 Piedmont In
terstate Fair.
“I specialized in ceramics at
school,” Betty said, “butright
now I’m intensely interested in
painting and sculpture. Now that
I have a place to paint, I need
to paint two hours a day to see
just what I can do.”
She is also organizing art
classes which will meet two hours
one night each week. The first
session is tonight. Betty’s stu
dents will select the most a-
greeable night for succeeding
classes.
“The ideal art class is small,”
Betty said, “with no more than
eight students. I have at least
four now and would like to teach
two classes if enough people are
interested.
“First, we will concentrate on
drawing, with crayon, pencil,
charcoal, pen and ink and ink
washes. No one can paint unless
he can draw, and drawing is
basically wrist movement. The
problem is keeping limber and
only practice will solve it.”
Betty’s students will progress
to painting and per haps sculpture.
“I’d like to help my students
develop an appreciation of art,”
Betty explained. “We’ll be going
from the outside in, trying to
understand art’s function rather
than analyzing it to death.”

A quick review this week on deodorants and and-perspirants.
A deodorant Is Just that and nothing more thaw an odor pre
ventative. An anti-penpirant checks the cause of odor, per.
•piratkml Some of us tend
to perspire a little more than
others, so for extra protec-
tk» try applying alcohol to
the underarms with a cotton
square, allow to dry com
pletely and then anti-penpi
rant may be used . . . I’m
sure we ell know not to use
any product except soap and
water immediately after de-
fussing as this can causa akin
eruptions.
Just a mention this week
about our facUMee for “quick
coloring” . . . Honestly, you'd
be amazed at the speed when
you see our “color machine*’
in action . . .
Just one more piece of
equipment installed to bring
you the very finest in con.
temporary beauty techniques.
