Finally, a little art news! There are two upcoming shows, back to back that I’ll be participating in at the Arts Center in Corvallis. First up is for the month of September. The piece is still in the works but stands a pretty good chance of getting completed before the drop-off date next week. PhotosContinue reading “Upcoming art interests”

Plankton Project: day 1
Saturday I sat down and went through photos online to start figuring out my approach to the sculpture. Today, Monday, I’m starting work on a form. The first focus is on zooplankton, mainly copepods. These little guys & gals scurry about through the water column consuming other critters and plants. Their body form looks likeContinue reading “Plankton Project: day 1”
Crumpled Paper
This is my first attempt with manipulating a single sheet of tracing paper into a sculptural form. I kind of remember doing this sort thing as a child but never more than a wadding and twisting forms to look like horses (I had a horse hang up as a young girl). Two years ago IContinue reading “Crumpled Paper”
What a week! Yikes!
Oh man, what a week! It was filled with drama, beauty, fun and icky stuff and I’m super glad it’s finished! This weeks highlights: Saturday Breakfast: Egg quesadilla with chicken, avocado and tomatillo salsa! Thanks Dave for the yummy creation without cheese! Saturday afternoon I worked for the Arts Center from noon to 5pm. TheContinue reading “What a week! Yikes!”

Whew! The end of the month and many projects accomplished! The biggest thing off my plate happens to be the donation for The Arts Center… Stroll in the Woods will be up for sale during Chocolate Fantasy. All proceeds from the sale will benefit the AC. Now I can get back into the swing ofContinue reading “Finished Project”
Chocolate Fantasy Donation
On March 2, 2012, The Arts Center will be hosting their grand benefit called Chocolate Fantasy. Yes,with chocolate in the title, who wouldn’t want to attend? They have also roped in basketball coach Craig Robinson ( that’s Michelle Obama’s brother for those outside the area) who will be helping MC the event. Besides the culinaryContinue reading “Chocolate Fantasy Donation”
Rain, flooding & generally soggy days
Life in the Willamette valley has been a tad wet. Multiple fronts have moved in off the Pacific bringing inches of rain per day, high winds, flooding, downed trees & land slides. The freezing level yo-yo’d around from valley floor (200′) up to 8,000′. When I wrote last about not believing in snow for theContinue reading “Rain, flooding & generally soggy days”
The start of another week
Projects. So many to choose from and all involving some sort of due date. So where do I start this week? It all depends. If the project feels like mental torture, I’ll avoid it. For example: last week creating bowls seemed to be at the bottom of my list even though there happens to beContinue reading “The start of another week”
Tentacles, bowls & prints
For the second week of January, the studio schedule is feeling busy. Last week, I sat myself down and actually started planning business goals for the month. Amazingly enough it’s helping push myself forward with projects. My goal is certainly attainable… eventually. It will take a lot more product and marketing, but that’s what thisContinue reading “Tentacles, bowls & prints”
Portals Show starts Friday!
Really looking forward to seeing all the works in person. Hope to see some of you there! 🙂
