January 2011 Studio Workshop

Like right before a party, the house is so clean- so too with my studio. All the neat baskets of acorns and bark and pine cones and earthy glazed bowls I made in college holding blue marbles or soft green lichens. And then, from these simple materials spring up, seemingly magically, wonderful woodland houses, full of imagination. And then, after everyone has left with their new treasure, I am left with quite the mess! But full of ideas and inspiration I often then create my own house. Today I built a pirate boat out of a wonderful large curl of palm frond that one of the dads brought. I will post in when its finally done.
