I bought a children’s book at Value Village the other day…it’s in Japanese (I think…nope…Willy Wonky and JE both say Korean) I don’t know Japanese (or Korean either)… I just liked the illustrations. It made me think of what it was like before I could read, as I began to turn the pages and look […]

Monday Blues…
Well, not exactly BLUES, but here it is…cold, raining, car in shop all day, head cold…so I’m working on the “wedding quilt” and it’s coming along…shhhh. It’s a surprise…
Public Art…ODOT
In Oregon, 1% of the cost of a new building (or of a renovation), must be spent on art work for the building. This has been a terrific vehicle for presenting the work of major Oregon artists to the public, and for building a nice collection of work owned by the state. The process is […]
Creek Fun…
I talked to Karen on the phone this morning, and I said I was uninspired blog-wise today. She said …”Go to the west side of the Church Street bridge over Pringle Creek, and look down. You’ll like it…” I did go, and I DID like it…you?
“Dwelling”…
Here’s the quick version of the assembling of Marie Watt’s piece “Dwelling” for her current show at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art…don’t forget the opening is Friday, March 9th! David Andersen set up this time-lapse camera and made this neat condensation of a week’s work…
Clay Ball, 2012
Last night was the13th annual “Clay Ball” wherein artists and “patrons” come together to support the arts in our community. The theme this year was the 60’s…Mad Men-inspired…and people took it seriously and came dressed for the moment… there was a photo booth with “props” lovely blondes everywhere… friends discussing auction items (…”should we go […]
Leftovers…
…and I don’t mean pot roast. There are always great shots left over, images that didn’t exactly fit into the discourse of the week, but that hold my attention anyway…here are a few from the week just past with no explanations at all…
Manuel Izquierdo…the hunt goes on…
First let me say that as a maker of things, I have long understood that “things” have lives of their own, separate from the life of the maker. Furniture, dishes, and most especially, art work. Thursday we spent the whole day listening to stories about art works and seeking some answers, and I can’t remember […]
Wednesday Miscellany…and Pot Roast
Wednesday was one of those good solid days…early start, many facets, lots done. But first (and actually it WAS the first thing in the day), the pot roast. We, as a rule, don’t eat red meat (…well maybe the occasional lamb chop…), but R has had a hankering for pot roast. I have only made […]
Brussels Sprouts Salad
I ran into Sharon in Lifesource yesterday and she said she always likes recipes on the blog, so I thought I share what we had for dinner last night…a shaved Brussels Sprouts salad…YUM. I stole the recipe from Caffe Mingo in Portland and adapted it to our fridge and dietary needs…and I “mused” on sprouts […]
