Tonight there was a gala opening at the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery downtown. This month Mary Lou is featuring the work of 14 local artists in two exhibits, and has created a book with studio photos, photos of work and a statement by each artist. The idea is a truism…Art Builds Community…ABC…as easy as that. […]

A week Away…
I’m gearing up for a week away next week…going to Alabama to sew with a couple of Gee’s Bend quilters. This week I’m sinking into thinking about fabric and the creative experience ahead…here’s a little (4″x6″) piece I made for the ArtHouse Coop…(it’s called “Diet Day” and is part of a project for artists to […]
Research of Every Sort: OHS & the MAC Club
Off to Portland last week for a very interesting research day that started at the Oregon Historical Society. Before we got to the library we saw the Lewis & Clark kites, this one called “Native Angels or Tribute to Women” by JoAnne Weber… and this completely adorable tear drop trailer. Then straight to the library […]
…On the Design Wall…
Here’s a quilting update..red and white quilt finished..design good, applique not so good, quilting good+… I’m slowly turning the Indian skirt I got at Value village into a log cabin-ish quilt…it was a bunch of strips sewn together which I took apart… then cut the strips in half… added strips from an old sheet… voila: […]
…And Speaking of Books…
I got thinking of a book I made a few years ago for a show at Mary Lou Zeek’s… each artist was sent a book and had to make something out of it…I’ve always wondered where this one went?
100 Artists…my favorites…
Went back to the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery today to see the Art of Communication show without all the people, and arrived during a lull in the storm of visitors…thankfully… First, my piece (well.. it IS my blog so, okay) and then my favorites…chosen by walking through the show and finding pieces that seemed to […]
The Doll Quilts…
Did you ever agree to do something that was MONTHS away, sounded easy? I did…and then promptly forgot I had agreed to make 12 doll quilts for Bush Barn Christmas festival. Oops. Consequently I’m chained to my sewing machine and cranking them out…here’s what I’ve got so far: Eastern Oregon…a section I cut out of […]
Sketchbook Project
Nan sent me a link to the Sketchboook Project for 2012 and I decided to try it…the idea is fun. So I paid my money and my sketch book arrived yesterday…it’s pretty dinky…take a look…here it is compared to the one I’ve been carrying around… and there are rules…the most important one being that the […]
Reviewing:
Carolyn’s coming for our annual art week, which means combing through past work for ideas, methods, images. While looking at my photos I thought I might just post some of my own work…it’s MY blog after all? Mostly because all my posts of late look about the same and seem to be about trees. So…not […]
The leafy canopy…
So the very next morning after Alisa’s dinner I heard the now-all-too-familiar sound of chain saws buzzing. I ran out to the deck only to discover a guy in the 40 foot tall walnut tree in the yard behind us. I quickly snapped a picture of the tree before he got started… and ever hopeful […]
