Lincoln will be showing his new photography and we will have new glass wall tile designs and jewelry designs. <br />As always, we will be there to answer any questions and to talk about our work.<br />AND give you direction to our new studio and gallery space. Yes- we made the leap! It took us a few years to find a suitable location and to find the time to do it.<br /><br />Our new studio is located in Lemon Creek across from the Alaskan Brewing Company. We should have a sign up soon and our goals is to have set business hours starting in August.Basement Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00780668762872651455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3143024310627817900.post-15018975994128612752011-01-24T17:24:00.000-08:002011-01-24T17:30:11.763-08:00Artist lecture at the JAHC Jan. 25th<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8bSd1oJyDnssfqF2My8rwHMJK3zBpMOZVcA7xx93sZ93sAVeDdv4WSkUfn5GVPXX9QPD126KJe7pY8g9yI4rb7QvRBq_vaP9Hpl_PRziCicABmrM1khEt4eF_d84t_YSK7mn8rhfyeLR7/s1600/single+carrot.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 245px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8bSd1oJyDnssfqF2My8rwHMJK3zBpMOZVcA7xx93sZ93sAVeDdv4WSkUfn5GVPXX9QPD126KJe7pY8g9yI4rb7QvRBq_vaP9Hpl_PRziCicABmrM1khEt4eF_d84t_YSK7mn8rhfyeLR7/s320/single+carrot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565928586403822002" border="0" /></a>I wanted to invite everyone (In juneau) to join me Tuesday, January 25th for my artist lecture at the Juneau Arts and Humanities Building (JAHC) .

Some smell more than others but they are all neat to look at.<br /><br /><br />Lately I have been enjoying getting a good photo. I'm not too concerned with the composition of the photo but more about capturing the personality of the subject or subjects.<br /><br />Turkeys are good models.

She is going to have a cow baby any day now. I asked if I could drees the girls up a bit. A pink bow, earrings, a tasteful straw hat.... we shall see. </p><p>OK so tonight I am off to Pilchuck. The agenda for the night: Check in, classes meet, cocktails at the gallery, dinner in the lodge, school introductions & to top it off a "show" of sorts in the hot shop. Last year someone made a large clear vessel and popped some popcorn inside it! Very fun.<br /></p><p></p>Basement Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00780668762872651455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3143024310627817900.post-34216367530779332822009-05-18T10:27:00.000-07:002009-05-18T10:33:41.079-07:00Heading to Pilchuck tomorrowI made it to Bellingham and had a beautiful sunny day here yesterday! My friend and I walked around this hip little town and enjoyed the mass amounts of people out in the sun. They live good here.<br />Today I will be re-packing and doing some paper work for my pilchuck class.<br /><a href="http://www.pilchuck.com/">http://www.pilchuck.com/</a><br /><br />Check out their website- It's like boot camp for Glass artists!

It's a beautiful day and we are waiting for the vet. The old dog turned 14 this year and he seems a bit wobbly. We are lucky here in Juneau to have vets that come to your home for dog inspections. The dogs love it, we love it- it's just a good idea.<br /><br />After that: make some beads, cut some glass for carving blanks, finish some jewelry....oh yeah pack. It's the four day count down till I leave town.Basement Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00780668762872651455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3143024310627817900.post-60177688161714637122009-05-06T17:14:00.000-07:002009-05-06T17:23:48.938-07:00It was a good First FridayWe had a good time for our First Friday opening. It was a bit slow at first but soon people came by. The gang at the Ruby Room were such a big help and everything went smooth. I really liked the way the room ended up looking. I will get photos up soon.<br /><br />NOW- I have a week and a 1/2 to get packed up for my classes at Pilchuck Glass School and Corning Glass Museum - back to back glass class fun. When I get home I bet my brain will be mush!<br />I hope to do a bit of blogging whilst I am away. Maybe even with photos! That would be fun. My friend Anji would be so proud of me if I were a good blogger girl on my adventures.Basement Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00780668762872651455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3143024310627817900.post-85068952574383878972009-04-28T19:02:00.000-07:002009-04-28T19:14:18.863-07:00Almost Ready<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDsZGNsXykvB9yRQ9B9hzW-aF2DZegJ5G4-fNtcYa7PTWEosZ7pREYiLoRBznmO5hfIzrolcWzWDImoMPHmD1vBk4JUSdFXcYV3KZSFnOkEL2y9HqzK5xODEeivHv6vSboac9Fl1qPgoc/s1600-h/DSC02317.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 209px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDsZGNsXykvB9yRQ9B9hzW-aF2DZegJ5G4-fNtcYa7PTWEosZ7pREYiLoRBznmO5hfIzrolcWzWDImoMPHmD1vBk4JUSdFXcYV3KZSFnOkEL2y9HqzK5xODEeivHv6vSboac9Fl1qPgoc/s320/DSC02317.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329928782108056578" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-CWTOf4-ehzLz0v4gBcfrLmfsGl1WMDx8JP2EIP3qAgpw-pos7sSrRdZTG_jyFgyUEnFGJBvJ93c9YHSmXuYCr-6eZVGI4VjxRiW7MUCIXlKZa-dmCsnzxBn_meOmhSnNA90jLGjYNOdp/s1600-h/DSC02268.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-CWTOf4-ehzLz0v4gBcfrLmfsGl1WMDx8JP2EIP3qAgpw-pos7sSrRdZTG_jyFgyUEnFGJBvJ93c9YHSmXuYCr-6eZVGI4VjxRiW7MUCIXlKZa-dmCsnzxBn_meOmhSnNA90jLGjYNOdp/s320/DSC02268.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329928771611243586" border="0" /></a>I have been carving for the last few weeks and the last few days have been a real push- Things are wrapping up.
