We were fortunate, here in the Willamette Valley, to witness a stunning sunsets on Christmas Eve. We were traveling to Eugene for the family crab feed and I actually had the camera (amazing cause I always forget). Dave managed to find a couple of good pull-offs along Peoria Rd. The hills are part of theContinue reading “Christmas Eve Sunset”

Making Paper: The Start – Harvesting plants
Since taking a workshop back in July 2010, I’ve been seriously contemplating creating my own paper from start to finish. This is the year to go for it! I’ll be utilizing a couple of books written by Helen Hiebert, an amazing paper artist in Portland (and the one I took a Paper in 3D classContinue reading “Making Paper: The Start – Harvesting plants”
Artists@Work: Day 7
The start of a new week and new possibilities! Will it be a productive day or not? I think it turned out rather ok. It’s been interesting watching the others create throughout the days and realize how similar we react to a problem. I find that when a problem really stumps me, I just moveContinue reading “Artists@Work: Day 7”

Pileated woodpecker proof is getting closer to completion thanks to a bit of work during the coast escape. More block printing material arrived from DS. Hurray! The momentum can continue!

A total of 7+ cubes will be created, depending on time, and will relay a visual story of a hike through the forest during the month of February.Continue reading “Forest Project Continued”
A Walk in the Woods
“A Walk in the Woods” is looking finished for the Howland Community Open today. Only part lacking are two eye screws to hang from the wall/ceiling/window.

Filling in Squares
Progress has been slow but I might still make it for the Howland Community Open at The Arts Center in Corvallis. Today I found perfect screw eyes to connect the squares and clear hemlock for the frame. However, I’m realizing the screws purchased will not cover all the connections needed…. back to the hardware store!Continue reading “Filling in Squares”
