Ice on the Lake? Can't go fishing? Go to Sweet Peas in Two Harbors and celebrate Spring and Mothers day. Birdhouses arrive today. tamarack , cone-flower, and lupine mugs. Also, knitting bowls. Enjoy the fun. My booth is in the back on the right! Also I am loading up at Cross River Heritage Center Tomorrow with new sacred jars. I am having so much fun making the old Mother in the shoe sculpture for the North Shore School presentation. More pictures coming. The soup is on and I need to get to work now. I am suppose to be doing my resume and Bio.
I am please to announce the opening of the Voyageurs Art Club Spring Exhibit at the Waterfront Gallery in Two harbors, MN. Waterfront Gallery, Two Harbors, MN April 13-May 5. The opening is Saturday the 13 from 3-5. treats, wine, great conversation and art. the show is titled "To tree or not to Tree" and of course that is great for me because so much of what I do is a bout the tree. I have 13 pieces in the show including 3 watchers and my new white ware. See you there. Then We are off to the big birthday party in White Bear Lake. 9weather permitting. I am very excited to announce that I have Installed a booth at Sweet Peas in Two Harbors. It is a quaint little gift shop with many artists, crafters, and Made in USA products. I have found a great place to sell and to purchase a gift, and card with good service right here in Two Harbors. I especially like that most products are made locally. It's like having my own shop right on the main drag and the store keeper is provided. It's lovely. I'll add the photo later. oh! and they have used books too. Empty bowl at Duluth Art Institute is April 15th and 16th, 2013
http://www.duluthartinstitute.org I AM THE EMPTY BOWL. I WAS FULL OF DISCARDED STUFF. I WAS FULL OF ALL THAT WAS THROWN AT ME. I WAS A MAGNET AND I DREW IT ALL IN.. IT IS SO HEAVY, AND SO PILED ON. IT HAS NO MEANING OR PURPOSE. NOW I AM EMPTY. I DISCARD EVERYTHING AND I BEGIN EMPTY. I BUILD A SHIELD SO THAT TRASH WILL NOT LAND IN ME. I BUILD A SCREEN THAT ALLOWS ONLY THE FINEST PARTICLES THROUGH. I REPLACE THE MAGNET SO AS TO ATTRACT ONLY THE FINEST ELEMENTS.. I AM NEW AND EMPTY AND PURE AND CLEAN. I WILL STAY THAT WAY A WHILE. Ending the year here in Alaska with grandbabies. I look to 2013. With wonder and adventure. The pottery will make some changes and will solidify. The studio is filled with new energy and life. The potter renewed,enthusiastic, determined. I will work with white ware. Pit fire and raku. Small sculptures. Urns. Is it possible to limit myself to 20 items. Might be worth trying.
Buddy's, hertage days. Grand Marais arts festival. Cross river heritage center. Waterfront gallery voyageur art center. Agate bay crafters 20/20 art tour. I just keep on playing with this and eventually I may get down to business. right now i am off to feed the animals and make snow angels. the firing ended at 11:30 last night so I won't open the kiln until late today. sauna night and Christmas card. today.
I think it is best to start out simple and strong. I will add features as I go along and learn.

i'm back"This is a day that the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad."
Tthat just about sums up where I have come to in the past five years since my last post. it has been quite a journey and it continues. I again find my joy and peace in the creative process and the studio.. Now, however, it is mainly that and so much less about the marketplace, but more about the quality of my time, my moment my connection to the sacred world we have been given. I invite you to join with me here as I document the days with gratitude. AuthorI love playing in the mud and the trees. Snow covered land and stars sparkling above. I enjoy the plethora of diamonds that sparkle on the water and again on my snow filled hillsides. I can't decide if it's best to narrow my focus or mix it up. I have always struggled with duality. I enjoy skiing or a walk in the woods. I have an Aussie puppy and an aging Jack Russell. I love my Finnish Husband, Reijo, solitude, and God. Archives
