The Blue Between Blog
 I'm an artist... and a designer. I create beautiful colorful jewelry, I melt glass to make lampwork beads, I am beginning to draw and paint again. I take many, many photographs. I search for beauty in all things. I love color and texture. I'm also a mom, a wife, a nature lover, a kayaker, a knitter, a gardener, a web geek... I am into reiki, peace and finding my bliss.... This is my online journal - a place where I can share some of the art I create and some of the stories I live.
October 8, 2007 - It gets better and better
It's been a few months now that I've been able to work in the studio somewhat regularly - I've added some fun new things like my shiny cool glass storage rack, a "creation station" to hold my torch with armrests and elbow padding, a wired "busty" lady to hang finished pieces from, a shelf made from an old shutter, etc etc. I have not been able to hang anything on the walls yet... for some reason I can't bring myself to hammer a hole into that plaster I worked so hard to create. Hah. It will come.

September 21, 2007 - How he knew it was true love
My grandmother and grandfather hung out in the same crowd somehow way back when. My grandmother was an art student, my grandfather a scholar of all things scientific, mathematic, philosophical. My grandmother thought my grandfather too good looking, too many girls were interested in him. I don't know what he thought of her, she was beautiful too. But somehow, one day, they were paired up on a double date. The first thing my grandfather said to her (and this is so typical, if you had known him) was: "What is the center of the Universe?" I don't know what kind of answer he expected to get, but it wasn't the one she returned: "Why, THIS is the center of the Universe." Apparently he was struck speechless (a first) and they were engaged to be married a week later.
September 19, 2007 - Boo!
Some new beads listed on Etsy, check them out!
In other news, school is going well, Luke got in the car the other day after school and said "Mom! I made a friend today" and then went on to tell me about art class, they learned about "Gauguin - he lived in France and moved to Tahiti which is an island just like Hawaii, Mom, and he paints in squiggles and we did too." I'm so impressed with this school so far.
September 1, 2007 - A Fresh Start
There is just something about September... it feels... like a fresh start. Time to get organized and into a routine... and back to work. I'm looking forward to it.
I've been organizing my studio - I put together some new storage racks for my glass rods. It's beautiful - it makes the glass just sparkle.
Luke starts school in five days. We are all very excited about it - it's a new school, another one of those "I'll never do that when I'm a parent" things - we are putting him in private school, even though we have a perfectly fine public school next door. It's going to be the best thing for him though, really great: small class sizes, great teachers, he'll be learning computers, Spanish, art and art history, music, drama and of course the regular stuff, reading, writing and math. They have a photography club, chess club, astronomy club and some discovery club and he wants to join all of them. And in the winter they have Ski Fridays - and parents get to go skiing with the kids too. When he's older he will go on the best field trips - learning to sail, mountain climbing, NY City and Washington DC... such cool experiences coming his way.
So, five days and counting... I'll be back with some pretty things to show, and sell, soon.
September 1, 2007 - End of Summer Days
We've been enjoying the last few days of vacation - took a trip to the ocean beaches and around the Olympic Peninsula. What a huge state Washington is, seriously huge, and wild, for the most part. It was refreshing to see. And then it kept going on... and on... and so it was good to get home again, too.
This is the Dungeness Spit, in Sequim, WA. Miles of sand and driftwood and rocks, leading up to a lighthouse:
And here is Luke, hamming it up:
