Tuesday, September 23 was a traveling day for Sandy and me, but we took off in different directions. He went home to Greensboro, NC, while I headed further west to Art-is-You Petaluma, a retreat that I also attended in 2012 and enjoyed so very, very much. On the way there I flew over Utah, which…

On our second day in Colorado, Cherie, Sandy and I went to explore the Santa Fe St. art district in Denver. I was itching to spend some time at the Abecedarian Gallery, which specializes in book arts. To my surprise, their current exhibition was of my favorite book artist, Daniel Essig, and his wife, Vicki…

This sunset greeted us when we left the Denver airport on Thursday. It turned out that all the sunsets were beautiful. On Friday, Cherie, Aunt DeLaine, Sandy and I went to the Dale Chihuly exhibit at the Denver Botanical Gardens. It would have been a great visit even without the art, but the Chihuly glass…

The rest of the day was devoted to weaving our tiny sample tapestries and Pam discussing her work. She showed us many of her samples for her large commissions and smaller pieces in a series of personal work she is doing. She had asked us to write down what kind of boat we would choose…

(Don’t worry, s/he was a little critter, about three feet long head to tail. More scared of me than I of her.) I ended up going to my cousin’s house at Lake Waccamaw on Thursday afternoon, after a stop at Mama’s house to pack up some of her art supplies, including many very nice watercolor…

Actually, I’ve gotten about an inch farther than this, but I don’t have my camera with me. Really loving getting into this part of it. For the dark area on the right, I split the navy and dark teal yarns (each has five strands) and wove them together. I thought about twisting them but this…
