Studio 40 at Spanish Village

Last week I moved some of my felt vessels into Studio 40, and on Saturday I made my first sale there.  I  share the space with a very nice group of artists:  Susan Salazar "paints" with colored pencil and specializes in drawing animals; Mindy Turk makes beautiful bead jewelry; Kathleen Romero weaves baskets according to her Native American traditions; and Pierre Bounaud (who's even newer there than I am) is a ceramicist.  It's exciting to be part of the village, and I hope all of you who are in San Diego can stop in and see what we offer.


Pierre snapped this photo of one corner of the gallery, showing some of my work, his, and Susan's. The gallery arrangement is a work in progress, as we get to know one another and we two newbies settle in. I will take a few more photos and post them soon.

If you are near Balboa Park this Saturday, stop in at Studio 40 and say hi -- I'll be working there from 11 to 4.  Also happening this weekend at Spanish Village is the San Diego Potters' Guild's annual sale, which starts at 10 on both Saturday and Sunday.

Still here, really!

Spring fever lasted most of the summer.  Turns out I had some undetected medical issues, not serious but energy-draining.  It took me four months to figure out that I needed a doctor, rather than yet another nap -- and about two weeks to get it all resolved.  I'm happy to say that I am back to my usual self at last, and back in the studio.  It's just that I spent most of the past few months in a frustratingly unproductive haze, so there hasn't been much to say or show here.

I'm still having fun, and challenges, with felting handwoven fabric onto my vessels, plus a side venture into cobweb felt scarves.  I'm excited about both avenues and will be showing both in galleries and sales events this fall.
