Goodness,  a year has passed since I last wrote! It has been a busy year of travel, the birth of my first grandchild, and a good deal of projects on the studio's five acres. It seems a lot of my creative juices have gone to shingling the cabin/bath house, installing some art work into the garden, building vegetable beds, landscaping, and designing a beautiful woodshed using re-sawn old growth redwood.

But creativity takes all shapes and there has been new projects explored and begun:
a new printer for an in-house art and poetry book this year
painting and sketching using different mediums
planning an outdoor sculpture project that should be placed in the orchard ' 7 Torso's ' withn the next few years. This project will require some education on my part of casting torso forms and building the pieces from there.
