Money Face
I went to the Soviet Union in the 90's and saved some rubles. When I eventually tried to cash them in, I was told, they weren't good anymore..... Now I have an idea of how to put them to use.....!
Penland Auction 2012
I apologize that I didn't have the time or patience to try and figure out out to get rid of the watermark. This is my collaborative donation for the auction this year. Paulus Berensohn made the pot, and I did the surface treatment. I liked it a lot from the beginning, but I think the red really surprised him. Eventually, I hope he made peace with it! It reminds me of an ember. Grey but glowing...

The Sense of an Ending
I just finished reading this book . By Julian Barnes. Listening rather. It was short, but full. 4 discs. Gave me a lot to think about. It won the 2011 Man Booker Prize but I didn't know that when I began. Someone but now I can't remember who, told me to read it. Actually, I'd like to read it, now that I've heard it. I probably missed a lot. Good to work to,... it kept me focused all day. If you've got an recommendations, please pass them on. I'm always looking for a good listen.
“Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us.” ― Neil deGrasse Tyson

” I am a multi media Canadian artist who is interested in language and communication; how knowledge is transported and transcribed between humans and other species. I am interested in inter species communication. I have chosen to sculpt and draw collaboratively with the honeybees for the past 14 years. My research has included the bee’s use of sound, sight, scent, vibration, and dance. I am studying the bee’s use of the earth’s magnetic fields as well as their use of the pheromones (chemicals) they produce to communicate with one another, with other species and possibly with the foliage they pollinate.” – Aganetha Dyck Add caption
Paulina Temmes
I'd like to know what it would feel like to hold her in my hands. I can't help but fall in love with everything she does. To see more .
Almost finished
Just a few more things to add and I should be finished with this one. If she looks ok when she's fired, she'll be taking a trip to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival next week!
What is going on here?
I have a good friend who is from Nepal. He just sent me these photo's so I thought I'd share.... He is home visiting his family and spent the other day helping his mom plant rice.... She is on the right, in her 70's!!! Apparently it hasn't been raining enough there, just like here, which made the planting much more difficult. I'm hoping to visit next year when he is home... This looks like really hard work to me, but he said his mom was so happy, and dancing just before the photo was taken.. I bet she's happy because her son is home!
