This morning started early due to “Demon Dog” Moby jumping on the bed. 70 lbs of leaping dog is something you can’t miss, especially when it’s on your sided. Nudging, pushing, standing over the top of me staring, stepping all over my legs, the Beast was making his point loud and clear. Hungry! Food please?!Continue reading “Sleep Deprivation and Demon Dogs”

Pre-Show Work
My mission today was thus: #1: Take a couple of photos of my designated space in the gallery #2: Work on a maquette to better solidify my visual concept. With a barking Maggie waiting in the car, I took a couple of photos and did some quick measurements of the west facing wall in theContinue reading “Pre-Show Work”
Studio Photos & Card Making: day 2
Since there is often quite a bit of down time waiting for screens or paper to dry, I thought it might be nice for you to see my printmaking space prior to finishing the screen show. The slat wall helps hold many printmaking supplies along with journals and a mish-mash of items. The flat fileContinue reading “Studio Photos & Card Making: day 2”
Creating Cards
I have been looking around the studio in search of cards to sell during the upcoming event in July and discovered only one left. Wow, guess it’s time to get cracking on more! The last set were actually scrounged leftovers from a different project. Too many House 4E prayer flags created on paper so IContinue reading “Creating Cards”
Moving towards new products…
Woodworking is a love/hate relationship at my studio. I need to create using wood in order to help display other works, but really lack confidence and tool know how. My father is a good wood crafter, producing furniture, building houses & cabinetry, but I have not yet taken advantage of his knowledge (and he’s 84Continue reading “Moving towards new products…”

Wildflower blockprint proofs
There hasn’t been a lot happening in the studio over the past several weeks. However, having a friend come over to work on printmaking helped spur along two block ideas. The images are still part of the Forest Series, but will take on their own life. They will be displayed in a different hanging system…Continue reading “Wildflower blockprint proofs”
Flight Cancelation
My husband Dave has been in Tasmania & Australia for the past 10 days for business. I was a bit shocked to find his Facebook message this morning telling about canceled flights due to volcanic ash. He’s pulling my leg, right? No. The folks in Chile know all too much about their current eruption, spectacularContinue reading “Flight Cancelation”
A Summer without Sitka
For the past several summers I’ve taken to increasing my art knowledge through classes taught at Sitka Center for the Arts.The first summer was learning bookbinding skills (paper, paper, paper!). Last summer I zeroed in on paper in 3D and it struck a chord. It was an “Ah ha” moment with the light bulb turningContinue reading “A Summer without Sitka”
Out the door
Why is it that packing for a trip (and getting to the airport) is stressful, even when I’m not the one going? Dave is heading to Australia & Tasmania tonight, arriving in Sydney early Sunday morning to catch another flight to Hobart, Tasmania. After a couple of days he flies to Perth on the westContinue reading “Out the door”
