I went over to Elizabeth’s for coffee the other day. Her daughter Alex, our constant and much-loved companion last summer in Project Space, was in school, but Elizabeth showed me Alex’s current interest…legos… (and guess what ladies…they have GIRL legos now…) Last summer Alex was painting, cutting paper, drawing…in a concentrated and wonderful way… But […]
FOR SALE
Okay…our little enclave at the beach is just so…well…adorable. Especially our street, Ebb Street… which includes our house, Mary Lou and Alan’s, Terry and LuAnn’s, Wee Packum Inn, Jim & Carol’s and nearby David and Susan, and Sharon… we’re just around the corner from Josephine Young Park which is right on the Bay… In the […]
Xun Music
Friday afternoon we went to a lecture at Willamette…a discussion of a collaborative faculty project with student involvement that proved quite fascinating. Heidi Grew teaches ceramics and Juwen Zhang teaches Chinese. Professor Zhang had gotten very interested in an ancient Chinese instrument…the Xun. A globular clay flute with 5 holes (quite like an ocarina) and […]
A Quiet Day, A little Drawing…
This morning I just took myself out for coffee with the newspapers and my little current drawing book called “Map of the Table”… and I STARTED to draw, but there was a “lady” having one of those HORRIBLE loud cell phone conversations that overtakes a huge area and everyone in it….eek…do you know those people […]

I showed 2D work, but also quilts, and gallery owner Anne Beck was curious about the process. “How do you make a quilt?” she said…I said…”you just start.” We struck […]
Moving to the Abstract…Quilts
Grids, abstracted images, hidden narratives…all part of the 2D work I make, AND…it’s just dawning on me…part of why I like quilting. Quilts can be quite abstract, they ARE grids, and they certainly contain hidden narratives…on several levels if you are using “repurposed” fabric. I’ve written here about the quilt I made for baby Hendrica […]
Totally Unnecessary….
and bordering on the criminal. Soapbox time…it’s hard to imagine the subdivision that will look good here…here in Road’s End, Oregon… Even the meanest dwelling (sorry neighbor) looks better when softened with a mature tree nearby…. I was about to write “enough said,” but actually, there could never be enough said about the hideous practice […]
Happy Birthday Emma!
Our niece Emma turns 18 today…she is smart, talented (writer, runner, editor) and beautiful. I’m pretty sure she would murder me if I put a current picture of her on this blog, so here are a couple of “historic” Emma views…Happy Birthday Em from your Auntie and Uncle…over here at the beach…we love you!
