The App

Good morning. Glazing day! (And I don't mean the ice on my side walk). Wow it's been hard not to follow my primal instincts and hibernate the year. I have to think SPRING - that means birdhouses today. 

Also I get to ship my bird houses to Vegas for their 'Open House' with the vegasclayarts group. Wish I was packing and shipping myself to Vegas for a month too!  

Enough procrastination disguised as 'deliberating' - Laters Gators!

Oh  - forgot the title reference ... I am using my blogger App and it's cool!  Can't wait to try it at shows and gallery events!!

Gift of Gab - Revisited

 
Well its been a while - Hi!  I've been thinking about this for a bit but in my sick mind I was punishing myself by saying 'Can't do the blog until you work on the Website'.  Not healthy - but motivating.  So....the website is about 80% there so I gave myself a break and let myself off the hook.  So here I am back and really, really hard at work.  This year should be full of fun (and meltdowns - literally I'm sure).  Last year I saw an increase in shows and demand for my work!  Nice!! Also, I through myself into the Art Guild locally to help promote art and artists in my community.  Its been great - but sooo busy.  AND - Kiln problems!! But with that I learned how to repair - always an adrenaline rush to know you can work with tools! :)
 
On to 2014.  I was asked to participate in a juried show in Vegas (super cool).  Heres a pick:
 
 
The birdhouse pic above is one of two entered in the show.  The coolest is that I was asked - they found me - which is totally awesome as an artist. 'Cause you all know that as an artist we were born to work and pound the pavement - such is our 'creative' existance.  Also I was 'found' at the Clothsline Fest last year by two organizations that asked for my work in their shows.  I did one last November at the Rochester Museum and Science Center (huge show) and the upcoming one that I'm working my a@@ off for now is Springtime in Canandaigua in April.  I was also asked to one in Syracuse in June but my blonde is graduating at that time and I can only be SO crazy in one year!  I hope to do Clothesline again - that has brought me some pretty great contacts!
 
OOOKKKK - Enough of the boring catchup stuff.  I have 6 followers and I think 2 of them are me (by mistake of course)  :)  If you read this please let me know!  I will send out something on my website and then facebook but I'm not in my writing 'groove' yet so it may wait a bit. 
 
Thanks for listening to the boring stuff.  I promise to try to inject more of my humor next time (I'm sure something will explode or melt - so no worries on subject matter)
 
As my teen girls say, "Laters".
