Artists Journal

Here at the cottage we have internet access, this is a good time to update my computer! Have started a new piece with some of the clay. Peggy just fired a kiln with all sorts of new glazes, good to see.

This one is of a sleeping woman, not Georgina. I used red clay, it was built hollow, this needs patience as the clay keeps sagging in the beginning.
Today Susan Powell has organized a booth in Erin as part of Rhythm and Ribs Fest. One of my sculptures is there and I have volunteer duty this afternoon.
Yesterday we had a party at Greg's house in Erin, Headwater Festival brochures and volunteer sign up sheets to be filled out, getting ready. September will be busy.

Today I am spending my time minding the gallery, checking up on my sculptures in the sculpture garden and thinking about my next piece! Just had Purolator call and also a costumer, so not too bad a day.
This August day is hot and humid again, here we have air conditioning, so it's bearable.

Today I am at the library again, the best place to upload my images. Last week fired much of last winter's work, most of it came through all right. Have replaced the "in production" pieces with the finished ones on my website. "Martin", the young man with cargo pants, is still drying as well as a few others.
Right now in the last 3 weeks of our Sculpture Group, we break for the summer, I am working on a new "Georgina". This one is going to be in black clay and larger then usual. A reclining pose.
