In my quest to support my fellow artists and makers during the pandemic, it has occurred to me that I probably don’t need anymore mugs. So when artist Bri Larson released her latest batch of ceramics, I resisted the temptation to buy another mug and opted for this adorable little vase instead.
Way back in March, right before the world shut down, I spent a very lovely week in Palm Springs. And while I blogged some of my favorite scenes from the trip, I got distracted and never shared the images I took of some of my jewelry while I was there! So I’m going to take a few days and share them now. (Better late than never, right?!?)
For the last few months now, I’ve been making it a point to regularly buy myself fresh flowers. It’s such a simple thing, but it makes for an immediate mood boost. On the same day I took pictures for my last post, I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures with this lovely bouquet that I picked up (thanks to contactless pick-up) from my local coffee shop.
I’m finally finding myself embracing fall color palettes, and no color says fall to me more than this gorgeous Lush Burgundy! (You’ll find the Lush Burgundy stacking rings in my online store.) But I’m also loving it with Azure Blue, especially in these Rachel earrings!
A couple of weeks ago, when I mailed in my ballot (thanks to PA for making mail in voting so easy this year!!) I couldn’t help but make this little arrangement of tools in my studio to share on Instagram that I voted!
I’m a sucker for a good artist biography, and this book on sculptor Ruth Asawa did not disappoint. I’ve been lucky enough to see a number of Ruth’s iconic hanging wire sculptures, thanks to my many trips to San Francisco (where, thanks to living there for most of her life, she is best known), but I confess I knew very little about Ruth’s life or art beyond those. Which is a shame, because Ruth Asawa was a badass!!
I’ve been continuing my mission of staying home and supporting artists and makers online as much as possible this year. But I will admit I’ve been pretty bad at documenting it, which is a shame, because I’ve purchased some incredible art this year!!
So today, I thought I’d share two recent ceramics purchases on display in my studio. (With some plants and paintings of course!)
I was really happy to continue my August reading momentum (and then some) into September! It helped that I had a long weekend away at a friends cabin with no cell service or Wi-Fi to distract me, but I managed to carve out some significant reading time the rest of the month as well.
Back in the day (as in, before Instagram) I used to blog more about the things going on in my life. I kind of miss it, because it gave me a record of what I was up to, both in the studio and outside of it. So I’m making this post simply to share that, at the beginning of September, I spent a lovely few days at my friend’s cabin in the woods in upstate New York.
