niche by bubba
Goofier than a giant hole to release a fly, is the fact that mother and I both beg Bubba for niches in our homes. As Squiggle Chick pointed out, it is a fabulous spot for a shrine, or to highlight great art. Here is one fine example of a hidden niche Bubba built for the [...]
Take a day off look what happens
Ok, I like to give my family a day off and not come to the studio. However look what happens…This was because my brother and mother heard a weird buzzing noise in the wall. After cutting this ginormous hole in the wall they discovered the the worrisome and dangerous culprit. A big ole horse fly [...]
Failures good and not so
I was just asked how I’ve ‘learned so much’. The truth is I let myself fail everyday. It is my belief we must allow ourselves to fail. Remember it is the successes that are seen in publications and on display. I would like to see a failure next to every success in a magazine or [...]
one way or another
This will be the most important election of my lifetime. Bailout, crisis, escalating deficit, financial collapse, lack of pride and faith in the government. Next year…
Full time art making?
Obsessive. I am. Sometimes I get so wound up I obliterate my balance and then I hibernate. I am forcing myself out of isolation now. Thank you Joanne and Fannie.

you cant break in half
When there is great texture on these buttons, it means there are deep cuts into the top of the clay. It looks pretty, but if the button’s depth is too shallow, it means there are stress points that can snap it in half. I’m a wee bit clumsy; I break things. Bubba wasn’t kidding: I [...]
Little Joys Big Joys
Thank you Dooley and Lynn for reminding me how to slow down and breathe. Being on the rodent wheel I’ve forgotten to be thankful, until today. But the guru and the fiber goddess at Fibra Artysta gave me a pleasant reminder. I ask for an odd indulgence: do any other humans out there appreciate the [...]
She would murder me…
While the cat’s unseen, the mice will clean. Parental Unit is out of town. I can’t understand it, but she hates change. Good change, clean, organized change. But when it is all said and done, she seems happy. I would LOVE to post before and after pictures, but she would KILL me. If only I [...]
