Sabbatical

I am taking a Sabbatical from commissioned work for the time being. This winter I plan to take my skill level up a few notches and create some gallery quality work. Time to go inward and let my creative subconscious do its thing. I feel it stirring and yearning to create art that comes from within..........

A Little Visitor

This is Phoebe, she is our little hubcapbird that nests here and has her little family. She knows us and lets us come right up to her and take pictures and say hello. She is a little Dipper, who spends most of her time in the creek and in the shrubs around the creek. We have a number of birds who come around on a regular basis and live close with us. I love it when I can get a picture and keep a record of them all, get to know them and their habits, as they do ours, I`m sure!

We`ve had another wonderful visitor , from Stourbridge, England, Yes!, a fellow glass engraver and Guild member. Amanda Lawrence. www.gge.org.uk She was in Canada to personally deliver a commission she did for Mission Hill Winery in Kelowna. Amanda and her husband, stopped by for a short but very sweet visit to our home and My Studio. It was so inspiring and very thrilling to at last talk to another engraver in the flesh. It is fantastic to belong to the Guild of Glass Engravers, which inspires, educates and connects us together. "Light" is truly a magical medium to work with, and I hope to share with as many as I can in this part of the World.
