Sunday morning I really needed a quick art fix before heading back down to Eugene. I still have a final hazardous materials removal from the house for sale. I pulled out the wax pot and cranked the heat. A few days ago I created a total of 14 flower buds to work through. Each wire formContinue reading “Playing Early”

Getting started
Finally, I have a break to seriously start work on the Camas Project. It’s taken several weeks to accumulate supplies, with glue being the last to arrive. Some parts are still missing but that’s ok for now. They won’t be necessary until August, but I’ll start gathering in early July. Wire forms are slowly gettingContinue reading “Getting started”
Quiet but busy
The rain has finally come back to us after many days of beautiful sunshine. It’s needed since the pollen counts have been dreadful. I’ve been trying to gain a better grasp of organizing my time between all sections of life. I feel more glued to the computer, anticipating things popping up from work, artists slowlyContinue reading “Quiet but busy”
Writing it out
Sometimes I wish I had the wand Dumbledore used in Harry Potter to extract thoughts and drop them gently in a glass vial. I could store them in a row and if someone needed to see what the heck I was thinking, I’d pull out the pensive and let them have at it. Friday IContinue reading “Writing it out”
Model Camas
Camas on a stick anyone? This is a sneak peak of my current concept for the Art in Rural Storefronts Project for Halsey Oregon. The above model has received limited hours of work, has no finished color, and a very quick assembly. Very quick!! It’s been constructed strictly to see if my ideas are feasible and theyContinue reading “Model Camas”
Wax
Tuesday I was sucked up by the need to work but torn between jobs. The day started with working on my new job as website manager for the Arts Center. Nothing like learning new frustrating computer stuff while trying to balance art obligations! I’m in a steep learning curve at the moment, it’s bugging theContinue reading “Wax”
Sticky fingers
This is going to be a busy week! I have about 5 days to get my plans and introduction together for the Rural Storefront installation project. My brain works best bycombining sketching with model building. The above image is one of many camas sketches but with vine charcoal & pastels. An exercise to get my brain thinkingContinue reading “Sticky fingers”
In search of supplies
This week has been filled with so many things. I’ve been trying to get a handle on my new job, delivered 6 lamps to a new shop, hubby’s birthday, cat care for our neighbor, and much more. There have also been counter offers on my dad’s house too. Research has commenced in earnest forContinue reading “In search of supplies”
A weekend in the hills
On Saturday and Sunday, I attended a workshop taught by artist Shannon Weber in the hills just south of Eugene. I met Shannon during a recent gallery opening and subsequent artist talk at The Arts Center in Corvallis. She happened to be teaching a workshop that peaked my interest so I signed up. Little didContinue reading “A weekend in the hills”
Monday Skeleton
Happy Monday! Look what I found today. Yes, it might be considered gruesome but I find it fascinating. The little creature died last fall and decomposed over the winter next to the house. This morning I happened to be attaching the garden hose and found it. Quite a nifty decomposition! One front leg is missing alongContinue reading “Monday Skeleton”
