Artsy Update

Sheesh! What does she do all day? Hey! Don't be so nosy! Sometimes we artists have to ponder and, and do stuff that isn't so easily quantified by Time or Productiveness, or, or Something Explainable.

However, there are a few things I can show, I think. I'm actually 3/4 done with a pullover sweater I'm knitting (though I'm presently searching for the rest of the yarn I need to finish). I just finished the knitted phase of a felted hat I'm making. And I'm nearly done with another basket. I'll put up photos of all that stuff when I'm done with them. Soon.

As for other projects, I did some more signage (foamcore and canvas) for The Pittsburgh Project recently.
Looks like this--It's supposed to match some other pieces I've done for them in the past. Those black rectangles on the green one will accommodate photos of their various ministries.

I made a small calligraphy piece from a quote by Victor Borge, whose schtick still makes me laugh.


And I finished three 24"x 36" stained glass panels to complete the set I started for Community Covenant Church. You see only the corners of the finished framing to suggest that they are actually done. In fact, tomorrow (Friday) morning, I'm leaving for the 8-hour trip to my dad's in north SD county, glass panels in tow, to install them at the church in El Cajon on Saturday morning. I don't have the means to take decent photos, here, so I'll post them after I return.


It'll be great to see Dad and Jean. Dad is temporarily playing the decrepit 81-Year Old Guy since he hurt his back, recently. The mishap the resulted in the cancellation of their planned trip to our house. It's probably just a ploy for some attention. I'll see...Then, on Saturday morning, it will be fun to see some of my good friends from CCC who will be there when I arrive with the panels. I'm looking forward to catching up!

So, more, soon, I'm pretty sure. Stay tuned...Oh, and while you're waiting, check this out. Tom forwarded it to me a few days ago. http://www.greatdanepro.com/Blue%20Bueaty/index.htm
It's pretty amazing (the spelling notwithstanding), and one of those things that reminds me how great it is to be alive to see it! Seriously!
