No sketching today. Way too many things going on surrounding the computer. I’ve been in negotiations for sending the Postcard Quilt off to a new home in Colorado. It’s thrilling to know it will be greatly loved and appreciated for years to come. The quilt was an award winner back in 2008 at the HowlandContinue reading “An extra space!”

Running out the door
I just wanted to show the finished piece before running off to Eugene. Everything is glued and functioning. Hurrah! They really are a cozy light source. This will be going up on Etsy soon. Another maple leaf in red has already started… 🙂
Mixed Emotions
It’s been a crazy week thus far and it’s only half way through. My brain wants to be emerged in creating art but I have many layers of Estate/Trust stuff to be dealing with. We have hit a couple of milestones. My dad’s truck has sold. Oregon has a “lemon law” so I’m keeping myContinue reading “Mixed Emotions”
Green Leaves
I realized earlier this week the maple leaf luminaria could look just as good in a different color. Red isn’t the only option. After rummaging through the paper stash (there are numerous plus several dedicated flat file drawers) I discovered this beautiful shade of green. When paired with the blue trim it looks quite nice.Continue reading “Green Leaves”
One down
Finished! One down and more lights to come. I really need to hunker down and start the screen printing ideas running through my brain. The blackberry brambles are waiting. Anyway, it’s nice to have one thing completed. Unfortunately illness has stuck and I’ve been laid up in bed since Tuesday night. Today, I’m a tadContinue reading “One down”
Switch
Saturday we went in search of SUNSHINE! We’ve been socked in for days (weeks) in the valley. Grey days with little temperature change makes for depressing winters. We drove to the coast range and up Mary’s Peak. From the upper parking, situated at around 4,ooo feet, you can look out over the valley to allContinue reading “Switch”
Cutting
Today I managed to grab some studio time. The weather has been full of rain, high winds, thunder, and even tornado warnings. Tornado??? Am I still in Oregon???? Fortunately it all equates to snow in the mountains, a much needed winter weather event. Last night we went to a girlfriends 45th birthday party. To helpContinue reading “Cutting”
Recycle process start
It’s the start of a new project. The scroungy, spider web encrusted hemlock has been rescued from the burn pile. Now what? Time to chop off the ends and get some drawing going. I’m still not certain what size the sculpture will become so some figuring needs to happen before proceeding further. Paper will alsoContinue reading “Recycle process start”
It’s Up!
The website is up and running, filled with many images of my sculptures and prints. There are still things to add (like print sizes) and some other gobble-de-gook, but I’ve finally jumped over a hurdle. Site key-word optimization to come. I’m tired of the computer today! Click on the link below to reach the site!Continue reading “It’s Up!”
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”
