Nothing like learning new frustrating computer stuff while trying to balance art obligations! I’m in a steep learning curve at the moment, it’s bugging theContinue reading “Wax”

Sticky fingers
This is going to be a busy week! I have about 5 days to get my plans and introduction together for the Rural Storefront installation project. My brain works best bycombining sketching with model building. The above image is one of many camas sketches but with vine charcoal & pastels. An exercise to get my brain thinkingContinue reading “Sticky fingers”
In search of supplies
This week has been filled with so many things. I’ve been trying to get a handle on my new job, delivered 6 lamps to a new shop, hubby’s birthday, cat care for our neighbor, and much more. There have also been counter offers on my dad’s house too. Research has commenced in earnest forContinue reading “In search of supplies”
Field Trip #2: Halsey
Tuesday was an enjoyable day. No specific appointments, just a simple drive to Eugene to pick up mail and visit my sister. However, I took extra time to explore Halsey and the building for the Art in Rural Storefronts project.

When we traveled, which seemed often, we had numerous books stuffed under the front seat for easy access: roadside geology of Oregon, numerous plant & tree identification guides, bird identification guides (plus binoculars), and a state geographic namesContinue reading “Looking into ideas”
Sketches and news
Monday certainly kicked off to a good start. I spent part of my day working on new designs for lamps. The fern has been used before and I continue to enjoy their form. However, they need a longer format than 10″, so now I’m playing with 11″ height and it feels much better. I also didContinue reading “Sketches and news”
