For reasons beyond the scope of ThreadUponThreads I am in, and have been for close to two months, the delightful country of the Netherlands. One unfortunate aspect of that is that I am sitting typing while on the bed of a dear friend who is solidly in the midst of …
Lotus, my most complex, to date
For those local to me, please come and see the new pieces. For those who are distant, might I suggest a visit?
I have been given a lovely and interesting opportunity. I now have a gallery at THE HUB in Temple Texas through Back2Basics. They will all be sold at special prices. It is a recent opportunity and I have a LOT of work to do, picking and hanging the art and (obviously) …
Things have been difficult recently. There are two projects for which I have designs, but I have not been able to move forward. The images I have in my head are very clear to me. Painted wood is not an acceptable base, so I am choosing black plastic. Unfortunately the …
A Very Late Breakfast
I had stayed up late and the night before and had slept late. I had just finished my first meal of the day and was checking messages.

Bought a lot of it.
This was fun. I really enjoyed the colors. The point was to slowly merge the purples at the top and bottom into the greens from the sides to a surrounding blue. Everything went very well until the last layer. Ah, oops. This is what happens when you are three quarters …
Being seen by the Round Rock Council I was pleased to get an invitation on Tuesday to be seen by the City Council. It was rather quick as it was to be hung in two days. I am not sure they actually want to see me, but my pieces are to …
The 2017 Show at the Old Bakery and Emporium is about to close. I pick up what has not been sold on Thursday. It was a good show, well hung. The people are very good there, particularly Kay Hughes who was a consistent help throughout. I include just some of the …
