I got accepted into the Lynnwood Library show! I’m so excited! I’m also a little blown away (is that possible? It really seems a contradiction in terms) that I’ve entered three times (2007, 2008, 2010) and was accepted all three. I wanted to enter in 2009, but I was, sadly, too busy buying a house [...]

I did it!
I finished the collage for the Lynnwood Library show and got it submitted. Whew! Now we’ll see if it’s accepted. You can see a larger version here and on my Portfolio page (click on the pic twice from that page). For reference, I used a beautiful photo by Heather Thompson of Belle Etoile Designs, with [...]
Love that long weekend!
I will be heading for the studio this weekend and will, hopefully, have something to show for it by Tuesday! I’m going to be working on my submission for the Lynnwood Library Gallery show using a photo by Heather Thompson of Belle Etoile Designs as inspiration– with her kind permission, of course. I hope it [...]
And then a year went by
For those of you keeping track, it has been about a year and a half since I posted anything here. Several reasons: I’ve been busy, I didn’t want to take the time to update, I’ve been depressed, and I wasn’t sure I was even going to keep this going. Looks like I am. Backtracking: June [...]
Contemplating a different new job, and a show
So K was working at this cool place where we got decent health insurance and restaurant credit (gift cards, nice places! ). Then, wouldn’t you know it, she got a job offer from the City– finally. So she had to decide: take the City job with less pay, farther away, and higher insurance copays, or stay [...]
New job’s keepin’ me busy
I’m working 4/10s (4 ten-hour days)now through the summer, with one day a week at home alone as a “studio” day, which is great; it’s really nice to know that at the end of my week I will definitely have time to work at my “other” career. Been busy with that, too. I entered three [...]
Reception coming up
Thursday night is an artists’ reception for the NWCS Holiday Show. I’m a member, so I’m going, although I joined too late to enter any artwork. K will be coming, too. She says I need to find out what to wear! I told her dress like she was going to work. If anybody knows about [...]
Mandala #1 completed
So, finally, I finished the collage Mandala #1 over the weekend. It was fairly labor-intensive, and is one I’m planning to enter in the Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival juried art show in September. Now I have to find out where to buy (and develop) slide film, and hope I can take decent slides of my work, [...]
New shop, new show
I found a really neat shop today while looking for fibers for my Mandala w.i.p., Village Yarn and Tea Shop. The owner was there, and helped me find some stuff, and asked me what I was working on. I told her, and we talked about mandalas for a few minutes, then she said she hangs [...]
