Whew! Finally settling down.

After a whirlwind learning experience in Chicago and Racine,WI, I am finally getting to try some of the new things I learned. I also have big plans to develop a lecture on the Japanese fiber arts in the future....but first must "Make some Art".  Just finished a pleated vessel in blue and purple.  Part of the creation of the vessel was done yesterday in front of the TV camera for possible inclusion in a commercial for Sarpy County amenities....stay tuned...will see if it makes the cut.

Photography contest winner

My photo that I took under the bean in Chicago's Millinium Park took first place in the Sarpy Arts Council first ever photo contest travel category. I was soooo excited. Also took 3rd place in the same category with a photo of colorful Japanese bikes.

So much to do, so little time

Yesterday our grandson Michael participated in the Duathalon in Papillion,NE, not far from our studio. He came in 56th...not bad for the first time ever in this type of race. It was a run, a bike ride, a run. There were close to 200 participants. We were there to root him on.
