Sense of Place

It has been a very long time since I have had a studio, room of my own to pursue small endeavors. I find myself everyday attracted to the space where my mind can wander, and i can play with colors, textures, and materials. I hadn't realized how far away I had drifted until now, being sucked back in. Many doors are opening. Finding old friends and students, working with my daughter in a playful creative and cooperative way, learning new tricks and pulling very old knowhow out of pre-parenthood storage.

I have to say it is quite nice to meet myself again

Mulberry Paper Flowers

Fine Art affected and 4 years outside of the game, I have decided to play. A stroll through the local craft store, revealed to me that I have been MIA for far too long. Small ideas and products that have grownup into an industry that I have thought absurd suddenly delight me. So with sheets to the wind I bought beautiful paper flowers, two glass bottles full. Small ideas of playfulness have amounted to many hours arranging colors, patterns and textures.
Whaaa La.... Posy Pins.
