Sunsets and a new year
Happy New Year! I’ve managed to spend the last couple of days in bed ill. Not may favorite way to start a new year. On Thursday night we had one of the most spectacular sunsets. Very interesting cloud formations with gold, pinks, oranges and violets extending over the valley. Stunning! The new year started withContinue reading “Sunsets and a new year”
Card creation at the Merry Inksters
Over the past two weeks I’ve taken two workshops. The first (lichen dye for wool and silk) was very disappointing as far as results and just not in my main art field. (Note to self: I need to focus on workshops in my specific fields) This last weekend was fun and something I’ve been moreContinue reading “Card creation at the Merry Inksters”

Bowls and prints out the door!
I had a few side emails from friends & family wondering how the bowls turned out. Nothing exploded in the kiln, which is a good thing! They were plopped into the kiln on the damp side after glazing. Those muffled thuds must have come from the neighbors house, not my garage. This is all aContinue reading “Bowls and prints out the door!”
Artists@Work: Final day images
The final show day was pretty laid back but filled with sparks of excitement. The first spark was due to Julia selling her second work during the exhibit. She was so surprised and honored! Congratulations Julia!!!! I really liked this piece. Our space felt more open, clean and ready for tear down at 5pm. IContinue reading “Artists@Work: Final day images”
Artists@Work: End of our Month
Hard to believe our time is ending. Wednesday will be our final day together as the show wraps up. I have really enjoyed spending so many hours in the Arts Center Studio with Julia, Elaine & Kendal. I’ll save my wrap up thoughts until another entry. Here are the photos of our “studio space” cleanedContinue reading “Artists@Work: End of our Month”
Artists@Work: Day 17
Today was the last Saturday of our exhibit and the Seed Pod workshop. Not knowing how many people would attend the workshop or how to deal with people coming in at different times was hard, but my two helpers did an excellent job! A total of 15 people came to play in paper, including theContinue reading “Artists@Work: Day 17”
Artists@Work: Day 16
Only Saturday, Tuesday & Wednesday left in the show! Friday’s progress: I managed to get out and purchase quite a few rolls of paper before heading into the “studio” and managed to cover over half of the structure. Kind of a ghostly skeleton branch structure. I’m thinking the leaves will remain uncovered for now. ManyContinue reading “Artists@Work: Day 16”
Artists@Work: Day 15
There are only a few days remaining in this show. If you have not been by to see it, you better do it soon! Julia hung some of her finished work up a few days ago. She mentioned this is part of her routine when working. Is it done yet or not? It’s also beenContinue reading “Artists@Work: Day 15”
