New Work

Some Sun some rain. Garden wants more rain. At least we can see our dock and have a fire now as both have emerged from being under water.

Working on new piece for LA Arts show this fall. Almost done. Here's a preview of the tiles I am using. I made the originals during a workshop May 2008 at Haystack School of Crafts on Deer Isle, ME. Will put photo of the completed piece when done, hopefully by mid next week. I am using an old window frame from an really old house. The frame is beautiful. Well more later
