Gearing up

I’m joining forces with other local glass artists to make a big order from BE. I’ve placed other orders for molds and things and I’ll be ready to go when I get in my studio.

Sheepy cuteness

Another finished drawing/watercolor

Inline with a previously undisclosed (until now) fascination with the 4 elements, I started the fire drawing 3 times, until I came up with this one. Even as just a line drawing, I was really happy with the image. So the color would just make it better.

I was not disappointed.

Initial ink drawing

Finished watercolor.

More felting!

For your entertainment:

Some of my new art neighbors at CoRK will be:
Joanelle Mulrain

Koula Redmond
Thomas Hager

Soon, the wait will be over and I’ll be producing glass once more.

Moving date is getting closer!

CoRK (https://twitter.com/#!/CoRKJax) made and announcement on Facebook today that Moving Day would be in about 2 weeks!! I’m trying to squee as quietly as I can about this. I’ve been without a working glass studio since November and I am SO READY to move and start creating glass again I can barely stand it.

I’d like to share a couple of EU Jacksonville articles. One is about CoRK and the other about Jim Draper, an artist at CoRK (http://www.jimdraperart.com).

I also got to meet a very interesting person this week. Amy from Bullseye Glass introduced me via email to Victoria here in Jacksonville, because we shared a common interest in glass. I think I will really enjoy getting to know her.

Felting

So I got inspired to get back into felting this week (although I’ve never really done a lot with it) and I ordered a bunch of wool and a new book. So, in addition to my watercolor pencils, I’m needle felting too. Too much cuteness!

 

And it may be February before I can move into CoRK.

January 1st. I hope.

Move in date has been pushed to January 1, 2012.

In the meantime, I have purchased some new watercolor pencils and I have been administering self therapy.

I know the color is off on some of the pictures. Maybe Santa will bring me a new camera for Christmas.

Also, the studio is really shaping up. Maggie and I visited today:

Look! The door is *this* tall!

More studio pictures

So my move in date is probably going to be January 1. I wish it were sooner, but I can’t control the construction, so… here’s a couple of pictures of the progress.

The doorway from the inside.

Dolf James, cool artist and friend.

Joanelle Mulrain, friend and collaborator.
