Today was just fun. I spent mid-day out with a very good friend in Philomath. We looked for turtles, checked out her sheep, watched the wild birds, and she even let me try out her new kayak on the pond. Wow! I’ve gotta get one of those!!! So much fun! After playing out at her place IContinue reading “Light Instructions”

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?”
Wood
The last couple of days have been spent, in part, hanging out with the cats and woodworking tools in the garage. The lamp base numbers have dwindled to zero and that means someone (ME) has to get busy. I purchased a couple of 6ft hemlock boards to create bases. After the initial cuts, I hadContinue reading “Wood”
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. Initially I stopped off at the recently remodeled train station that holds City Hall, aContinue reading “Field Trip #2: Halsey”

Friday, I ran across a class taught at the Virginia Arts of the Book Center using one of my images for advertising a class. Wow,Continue reading “Ethical Photo Use?”
Looking into ideas
I grew up with parents who wanted to know about the surrounding history and geology of Oregon. 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”
Work photos
Today, I had my husband take a few shots of me at work on a geranium panel. I don’t have “at work” photos and it’s probably necessary for the new crafty shop opening in Salem. People always like to see how you work and your environment. My current environment is a total looming mess thatContinue reading “Work photos”

Chopping down doors
It’s a studio day and I’m so glad to be in it! There are 3 prints due on the near horizon and I need to move forward. Old kitchen cabinet doors have been super handy in the studio. They have been repurposed as ware boards for pottery, surfaces for burning and waxing paper, boards toContinue reading “Chopping down doors”
