More felt necklaces for holiday sale

New stuff sent off to Montreal

So I just finished a couple of pieces for an invitational at Gallery Noel Guymarch in Montreal. It looks to be a great line up. It was curated by Tia Dale and Sarah Troper.  Here are some of the pieces for the show along with their laser cut packaging for shipping.  I also have started using the laser to sign the back of the work.  It is nearly impossible to get it centered.   I hope to have some more of these pieces ready for the holidays.  Liz and I have also signed up for ACC so if you are interested we will be there.  Come find us!  We will have lots of new pieces for sale. Back to work.  

Crazy busy

Well I have been doing so much I have not yet had a chance to stop and process it all. With school starting, the flooding, holiday time, tools breaking, more tools breaking, a lecture at RISD, a lecture and a workshop in San Antonio, making work for an exhibition in Canada, teaching, and Damian Skinner visiting I have hardly had time to sleep let alone blog. I find myself coming home and only having the energy to turn on the TV. I would try to read but I know I would only pass out.

I did however have time to take a few photos of the wonderful studio that Gary Schott re-vamped at the Southwest School of Art. I had a great time and miss it already. The food, the people, the everything. I did two workshops, one on salt water electro etching and another on illustrator and laser cutting. The people in San Antonio were AWESOME! I had this feeling that this was one of their cooler seasons where you can go outside. I guess during the summer it can get up to 120!!! It rained while I was there. I guess I brought the "good" weather with me. They apparently needed it being that they were in a drought. It was a whirlwind trip (only two days). I met a lot of fantastic people. It is always nice to be able to match faces with work. Gary's wife, Sarah, gave me a copy of her book (we also are lucky enough to own one of her prints!!) and I got to see all of the great art and photos in their house! Lots of great beer! Anyhoo here are some photos from the workshop and some of Gary's cats.
