Saturday

getting hitched?

In addition to my Etsy shop, I also sell my wedding cake toppers at a few great galleries: Museum of Contemporary Craft, Oregon College of Art and Craft, Relish Design, San Francisco Museum of Craft + Design, Mary Lou Zeek Gallery, and the Wood Turning Center. I made some cute little wedding cake display stands for the retail venues--here's a picture I took while I was painting them.

A young bunny in training!


Last fall I was approached by a high school student who had chosen the Bunnywood Show at the Museum of Contemporary Craft for a school project. The assignment was to write a report about the work and recreate part of it in order to better understand it. I invited her over the studio for a visit while I was working on the window at Guardino Gallery and she and her mom got to ask questions and see how I put together my window displays. Above is a picture of the section of Bunnywood she chose in the actual show, and below is her recreation in self-hardening clay. Great job, Rachel!!

Brand new work at the Museum of Contemporary Craft

My last special show of the year is now on display--I created another holiday scene with even more picketing Santas! More penguins, but these ones are ravenously hungry! Partridges in Pear Trees! And a train bringing presents to all the good girls and boys. It's all part of the best holiday sale in town at the Museum of Contemporary Craft. If you're a Museum member, you will receive 10% savings on all items in The Holiday Shop and The Gallery.

A passel of punkins

Boom Boom Boom give me Room!

Hey Beautiful People! I have been working so hard getting ready for the big show next week Bunnywood at the Museum of Contemporary Craft that I haven't even had time to post the studio shots I promised! I have a whole bunch of them that I will dispatch at random intervals during the next few days. Mark your calendars for the opening next Thursday, November 6 from 5-8 pm.

In the meantime, I want to mention that I got a nice mention in Emiko Oye's Reware Blog today. She's an amazing artist with a show on display right now at the San Francisco Museum of Craft + Design. We virtually met last week when she placed an order on my Etsy site for Boom Boom Boy. Click here to see her incredible wearable work made with Legos©. I am thrilled to get to see this show when I am in San Francisco next January!

Monday

testing the train out

I set the train up on the dining room table the other day to see it run--one more week until I set the show up at the Museum of Contemporary Craft. Choo choo!

Saturday

helicopters everywhere!

I have been working steadily on my show for the Museum of Contemporary Craft, which will be installed in just over two weeks! I hope to have some images soon, as the painting process begins, but my sweetie showed me this fun image today by artist Olaf Breuning, and it reminded me of a piece I made for the tiny town that I'm working on for the MCC. Breuning's current show ranges in work from drawings to sculpture to site-specific installation, all of it fun and provocative, but this helicopter hairdo took the cake for me.
