Still lots of snow, rain and grey skies in this recent glass palette. The lake is frozen but the creek is raging so lots of movement, bubbles and the sound of fast falling water. And of course my chickens contribute with their blue eggs. Trying to capture it all now as soon I'll be surrounded by the soft greens and colorful flowers of spring . Carpe Diem,,,be in the moment

Such a long cold snowy winter so most of my work has been with paper and paint as it is too cold to work at the torch in my cabin studio. Lots to discover with the paint and gelli plate process, so never a dull moment and there are lots of single beads in my bead pile that I can make into earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Here is a recent collection.
Color, form and texture, escape the monochromatic winter landscape palette! I will be teaching a 2 hour free "sampler" drop in introductory class on gelli plate printing on Sunday Feb 5 from 12:30 to 2:30 at the Christina Lake Welcome Center. Get into using color and layers with a variety of materials and techniques. This is the perfect medium to explore your artistic side and just have fun getting involved in the process of playing with paint and paper The prints can be used for notecards or art journals or whatever your hearts desire. This is an adult class, I will be doing children's classes at a different time.
The days are getting longer and the brighter colors are my favorites this week. I have been making earrings and pendants with beads I made after an autumn trip to the southwest. Even though there is a blanket of snow, I can envision the smell of the earth and spring bulbs nudging their way toward the light.
Want to come take a glass class or just stay in a waterfront location with hiking and biking at your front door? I will post a link for more rental information as soon as we get that completed. |
