Switching it Up

 Found carving by unknown artist.

Time to switch it up in our little house.  Time to take down this painting and put this beautiful carving, found for a song many moons ago in an antique mall, away so as to make room for a fresh-cut tree.  Time to get up in the attic and bring down the holiday boxes in order to begin the process of metamorphosis.  Time to clear off the dining room table of fabrics -- laid out in anticipation of productivity -- and the myriad stacks of prints that clutter other assorted surfaces.  Time to switch out the current mix of CDs for holiday favorites and to keep apple cider and cinnamon on low on the back stove burner to fragrance the house.    And yes, I might be just a little behind . . .  :)



Hope the season is treating you well.

Cheers!

A Little of This and That...





  

Happy weekend!!  I'm looking forward to attending a performance of the chamber chorus that my brother-in-law is a member of.  It's always so uplifting to hear their marvellous voices in unison.  After that, I hope to get down to business and glue something.....or sew something......or paint something.......

Above:   A few of my found pottery shards.  I have many and they never cease to please me.   Also, a framed reproduction of the small original print I posted last week, and another "study" of grid symmetry....just because :). 

And I've been meaning to suggest....be sure to visit Alexandra Durao's Mi Mitrika shop and flickr sets.  This artist/maker from Portugal has such a graphic sensibility. Her use of color is wonderful and her styling is superb!  Oh, and her blog is here.

Thank you for visiting and for your interest in my work.  I hope you're having a wonderful day....

 Cheers!!
