Beyond the Valley Studio Tour-this Saturday & Sunday
May 22, 2013 | Filed under: Uncategorized
Just a few days to the studio tour and it looks to be a fine week end. Last year, it was very blustery and probably one of our worst weather days for the tour. None of our guest artists are outside so it doesn’t affect them. Catherine Weir will again be my guest and she has some wonderful new candle holders that are terrific. Wonderful glazes.
I have been working steadily and will start my set up today. It then gives me a chance to see everything out and spot what is missing. I am an erratic worker. I might start with labradorite and silver and end up working with rose quartz. If an idea comes, I grab it and go with it. As a result my work space looks like a disaster zone as I push everything away to start on a new project. I spend time at the end of every day tidying up (or not depending on how tired I am) and then repeat the whole process the next day.
We were in Tobermory for 4 days this past week end. I have work in the Circle Arts Gallery there along with a good number of other Dundas artists. The weather was coolish at first (we didn’t bring any jackets) but then warmed up. Lots of hiking and good food and drink. But I was anxious to get back and work.
My interview with Debra Downey is posted online at the Dundas Star website. Deb has a great sense of humour so it was a lot of fun. And there is actually a picture of me with the article, and those who know me, know that having my picture taken is usually a big no-no for me. I like to think that I look better in real life. (or probably not) 🙁

Our irises and poppies are starting to bloom. We will have a vibrant garden, will post some pictures today. If nothing else, the garden is worth a visit.
