Summer approaches

The countdown has begun to time uninterrupted by anything other than what I choose shall interrupt it. There are only 14 days until graduation. I've been going through my art supplies, getting ready. I started meeting with other art teachers in our district. I'm going to teach them how to do gelatin print making on the 9th of June. I'm looking forward to remembering how to do it, getting out all the supplies...making another collograph to print from.

Raven Woman

She's about a foot tall and made from self-hardening clay.

The Wailing Wall

This is #48. I have eight days to do two more pieces to hit my goal of 50. I actually have two very large paintings about half done, so I can't count them...and 2 large collages started, but know I won't finish in time. It's got to be something quick...and easy. Does a large chocolate chip cookie Christmas tree count?

Owl Necklace

Bought all the pieces...just liked them and put them together.

Flower Face Necklace

Another necklace with a bead from Taylorsville.

Ceramic Seagull Necklace

I bought the ceramic seagull bead years ago for less than a dollar at a rummage sale. I hung it as the clanger for a windchime and when the windchime broke surprisingly the bead did not. Now, it's a necklace.

Celtic Cross Necklace

I got the cross bead at the Solar Cook-off in Taylorsville this summer. I like to think I'm Celtic, but in truth I'm 1/2 Norwegian, a smattering of French, a bit of Irish, and a bit of English.
