“Dingle Cliff Walk,” tapestry. Cotton, linen, and silk; 6 x 8.75 inches. Tweaked the finishing touches today. It was designed from a photo taken on the cliff trail in front of Gorman’s Clifftop House on the Dingle Peninsula, Ireland. The mountains in the background are called the Three Sisters. It is a bit wop-sided. I’m…

For the first time since I came back from the Art-is-you Petaluma retreat, I finally got some creative work done. It was easy to the point of being fairly mindless, so that helped. I’d do it again all day today if it was warm and sunny, but alas, cool and rainy weather has set in…

Well, I guess it’s about time for me to begin blogging in this space for realz. I’ve been manually transferring my posts from my former blog to here. Yes, I know that sounds obsessive and tedious. At first I was only going to do it for the past year, because I had back-up files for…

Susanne has set up a booth where she sells her books, marbled papers, and handmade papers, many made with materials from the other vendors’ farms or…

I started this acrylic painting while my left hand was still wrapped up from surgery. I need to spend a couple of hours more on details and then I’ll replace this photo with the final version. I started physical therapy this week and finally got out the sewing machine again to begin work on a…

So, things are going fairly well. I sold three scarves, a few books, and a few prints at the gallery in the past two months. I’m going to renew my contract for May 2012-13 but rent a smaller space, since I really didn’t need three shelves of space this year. If my sales get a…
