loosened thoughts

Ninety days of vacation/travel/time away from home/out of the usual routine since June 2014 loosened my thoughts and made me feel clever.  Having been returned for 90 days now (with a side trip to Santa Fe), however, it is more difficult to feel  creative.  I did have a rather nice moment in the studio yesterday, though.  The kiln was loaded and firing, ceramics and paintings loaded and ready for the March show, I found myself singing along with "Crazy Bout an Automobile" from Ry Cooder's Borderline album.

Here is the image for the show announcement

Frames and Fruit

Here are the smaller frames for the march show; routed, mitred, glued, nailed, sanded and stacked on the work table in the courtyard; surmounted by "Woman Bearing Fruit" - my favorite from the series made in December.  (sentence structure impressionism.).

Waiting for the fire

Here are some little blind piggies waiting for the fire.  

Here is a new mug design motif for the spring.
