That was fun
The NSDCC Christmas Craft Show last weekend was once again a wonderful event. I loved seeing all my clients, and meeting new ones, and it’s also always fun to hang around the other artisans. I really enjoy talking about my inspirations…
Notes
A Hint of The New Series!
Ladies and Gentlemen, as I prepare to greet established and new customers at my booth this weekend – the doors open at 10am this morning! – I am very excited to introduce my new work to you. I will only…
Come see the new work!
Ah yes, it’s been a busy time in the studio. I have some brand new pieces I’d like to introduce to you. They are very much inspired by my recent forays into blacksmithing, see this previous post. You have a…
More dance coming!
You may have read about my musing on dance. Well, there is more coming, TONIGHT and tomorrow at the Dalhousie Arts Centre! This time, a bit more classical perhaps. Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet will be presenting a program of…
Big Wind – Changing Hues
It’s been amazing to experience the change over the last couple of days. Even last weekend, I was still collecting bright red Maple Leafs off trees, to use in creating more Maple Leaf rings. But this mighty wind sure has changed the…

A Visit with the Twins
This past weekend, I got to have a visit with the Snyder twins, Reverie and Jackson. You may recall the tragedy that followed their birth, see here. Meeting these babies in person on their first visit to Halifax was very…
Change
Aaaah … change is in the air. Children are returning to school, parents are sad yet relieved, students are arriving and tourists leaving, and finally the weather has turned. It never ceases to amaze me how this happens here in…
Back at the Bench
Oh, it’s been lovely to be back at the bench! Work has gone out to Handworks Gallery in St. John, New Brunswick, and Mountain Galleries in Jasper, Alberta. There is a lovely video about the latter on YouTube, see here.…
Constantly inspired by my environment
If you are a frequent reader of my blog, you will know that I practice a few contemplative practices, like Zen Archery, the art of calligraphy, contemplative photography, and certainly meditation. As much as I am run off my feet…
Victoria • Seattle • Vancouver
Let me tell you about the rest of my West-Coast Journey! In Victoria, I hooked up with my friend Julia, who is from there and happened to be home for a visit, to go “gallery hunting”. It is super important…
