Not many blogposts last year because of many life happenings. Crazy health issues, crazy busy with wedding work, and simply very little time to catch my breath, much less sit down at the computer and blog. Even my
wedding blog took a backseat to all else. My
Facebook page was pretty busy. I did manage to keep that up better.
One of my last posts here showcased a few small paintings I made to sell at a Louisville gallery. They all three sold at the same time - I'm guessing to one person. Hurray! I must try to do more. Several of my small pieces at
Copper Moon Gallery also sold in 2015.
I hope to do a better job in 2016, but can't guarantee anything. But - it is January and I will post something new now. First is a page for a bride and groom's album for their first anniversary (paper). The mother wanted something stylized that included the burgundy calla lilies in the wedding bouquet.
Next is a set of script table numbers. I was given a sample from Pinterest with lots of flourishing as inspiration.
Last is the original page that was planned for The Scout Guide/Louisville. The photos were taken in my studio just in time for the December 2014 first issue celebration. The photos were reformatted and the world didn't get to see my face, but did see much more of my calligraphy. I even ran into a childhood friend a few weeks ago who mentioned that she had seen my work in the Scout Guide.
I'll try to do something fun (for my own sanity and to create a blogpost about) on a more regular basis in 2016, but no promises.
Other things I have done at Silica are these little bird dishes and a fish tile. I painted some measuring bowls for Sandy in yummy spicy colors, and most recently, Laura and I hand built magnificent clay vases. Large! We plan to go paint or glaze them as soon as our schedules realign.
