Back to the Basics!

Coffee breaks have changed again... now I take the time to get outside and enjoy the weather... winter is coming, so every little bit helps, even if for just an hour a day! And no, there is nothing wrong with an hour-long coffee break every once in a while!!

Midnight Raven

Well, the fairs are over for me for this year, and am busy getting orders done and finishing projects in the studio. Midnight Raven is now in it's bowl form, slightly ovoid in shape-- I cold-worked it (grinding, sanding and sanding and sanding through different grits by hand) for a long time, trying to decide how much of an oval I wanted to have in the finished piece, representing the depth of the night, and ended up going from very extreme to a much more subtle oval shape in the end... This piece is now listed on my Etsy shop, along with other new items!

TODAY IS THE DAY!

BEST COAST CHRISTMAS FINE CRAFT FAIR AT MARBLE MOUNTAIN BEGINS TODAY!! So this morning, I am starting to pack my glass... it was a busy day yesterday. Artisans from away arrived in the morning, and it was so great to have so many hands on to help with the set-up; Niki's husband Bill and Shannon's husband George were great helps even earlier than the rest of the crew, we met at teh Pepsi Centre and hauled out all the posts and stands for the drapes and trucked them over to Marble Mountain Lodge....then the fun really began. Although the elevator is small, I still really appreciated its carrying capacity!
More and more people arrived throughout the day, and the place is looking great! The staff at Marble have done a beautiful job of decorating the space, and I am looking forward to enjoying the live music that we will hear over the course of the weekend as well.
Very soon now, I will be there, setting up, and hope to have my booth looking bright and cheery as well. Hope to see you at the fair!

THE BEST COAST CRAFT FAIR IS ALMOST HERE!!

THE ANNUAL TINY SNOWMEN AND TINY TREES MARK THE ARRIVAL OF THE BEST COAST CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR... TOMORROW WE SET UP, AND FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, THE SPIRIT OF THE FESTIVE SEASON BEGINS AT MARBLE MOUNTAIN!! SEE YOU THERE!
