I never quite know how to arrange my days right now. Do I spend it at home or head to Eugene? Part of me feels guilty for not going down. Ok, a huge part of me, but I need to back away. Today I chose to back away. I worked on another bird that wouldContinue reading “Second Bird”

Paper Bird
Hurrah! I finally cut something new!!! The design is for an 8″x 8″ lighted piece. This is the first attempt executing the concept from drawings to cutting.

I’ve been trying to gain a better grasp of organizing my time between all sections of life. I feel more glued to the computer, anticipating things popping up from work, artists slowlyContinue reading “Quiet but busy”
Summer?
We are in a short stretch of hot weather. One source says it’s currently 90 F (32 C) at 5pm! Just shocking! Perfect weather for G & T’s and a little BBQ. What month are we in?? I thought it was still spring in Oregon, not Texas?! After spending a few morning hours working outside in theContinue reading “Summer?”
