Open Studio!

Come see us! Sage Studio belongs to my friend Judith Sander. She graciously opens her doors to the public once a year during the Philomath Open Studio Tour and invites two artists to participate. Jerri Bartholomew (center) is an incredible glass artist who blends her scientific background and love of nature into her work. Judith’sContinue reading “Open Studio!”

Craziness!

Holy Cow! Tomorrow, Wednesday, is set up day at Judith’s studio for the big weekends. Dave is off in Seattle for a week long training and I’m home with the hounds from hell. Last night the dogs and I were out on a gloriously warm walk with my girlfriend and were attacked by a blackContinue reading “Craziness!”

Long Pod

Another one ready for the big studio tour.  Still working out the kinks with the hanging system, but I think prototype #4 is a possible winner. I feel like it’s crunch time for getting things ready and I’m a bit distressed at how little studio time will happen this week due to several things goingContinue reading “Long Pod”

Creating

All I want to do these days is stay in the studio and create pods. Not a horrible thing since the open studio tour is coming at the end of October. Create to sell, right?  I just wish stuff in Eugene didn’t keep requiring attention. Two pods are completed and one is waiting for copper.Continue reading “Creating”

Nasty weather

Here we are on the verge of Corvallis Fall Festival and the weather report really sucks. There are multiple storms coming to our doorstep bringing inches of rain,  30 mph gusts and flooding. Tonight the first one comes, then another moves in Saturday and yet another on Sunday. The weather service calls them “unseasonable” andContinue reading “Nasty weather”

Pods and thorns, oh my!

Today we had plenty of rain and overcast skies so it was a good day to grab some studio time. The pod is slowly pulling together.  I’m sure you’re probably wondering how many hammered copper wires get inserted into a pod form. I’ve not officially counted but it’s around 110-120 (Cynthia, each one is hammeredContinue reading “Pods and thorns, oh my!”

Thorns

I have one week to go before Fall Festival and nothing terribly interesting to bring in the 3D world. Well, at least what I consider interesting. I’m pretty sure other people have different ideas. My supply orders are slowly dribbling in the door. Still waiting for rattan and glue. No glue = no lamp/luminarias ofContinue reading “Thorns”

Becoming a Ctenophore

Along our coastline one will sometimes encounter little spherical jelly balls on the beach. I always loved running into these guys because I understand how beautiful they once were out in the ocean. In a past life, prior to the animal & art world, I wanted to be a marine biologist and Ctenophores were oneContinue reading “Becoming a Ctenophore”
