WORK AT THE BUNNELL

Click here to learn all about the Bunnell Street Arts Center

Tomorrow I'll be taking some of my work down to the Bunnell Street Arts Center. It will be a good chance to have some stuff being shown in one of their fancy glass cases while I'm closed for the winter. If you haven't been in there you should go and check it out. I'm looking forward to seeing what's new, Melissa Daubert is having her opening on November 1.
Stop by, the gallery is in this wonderfully cool old building with a warm and creative atmosphere.

 

WHAT TO SIT IN?

 Went for a road trip to Anchorage to find a new beading chair. My old faithful will not stay up (the piston is shot) and every 1/2 hour I find myself looking at the bead table as if I'm 7 years old. So I raise it up and then I'm quickly back down again. I sat in many types of seating on my journey. There were some really wonderful choices in a price range I couldn't afford so I wound up with a bungee cord chair. I'll let you know if it works out after I put in the long hours.
 In honor of the spooky holiday coming up I'm working on a bear skeleton piece.  Happy Halloween all!

 

MOVING ON

SOMETHING DIFFERENT

These past few months my schedule has consisted of me doing a crazy amount of beading. Right now    I'm not in a big hurry to get back to the bead table. My wrist and arm still ache and I've been looking for an excuse to try my hand at a mosaic. So I'm working on something I've been planning for years. My pile of old cracked mirrors, broken dishes and tiles from the last kitchen counter top are finally getting used. It's a blast to work on something big that comes together quickly! Thin set is holding all the pieces in place. Now I have to grout. I'm nervous, I don't want to mess it up...

BACK AND OUTSIDE

I've returned from Santa Fe and the show was a great success! So, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Now that it's over I realize just how stressed I was. The good new is it's still summer and I'm going to spend as much time as I can outside enjoying it.

SHOW IN SANTA FE

Okay, it's down to the wire. Two weeks from today I get on the plane and head off to Santa Fe and then, hopefully sell the beadwork. I've been preparing for a year. If you are around the area on August 15,16,17,18th I'll be at the  Eldorado in the concord. The nerves are starting to kick in, I love doing what I do but the selling part, not so much...   p.s. thank you for everyones input on the leopard, I went with the majority and used a softer sun.
