Greetings from Nine Lives Studio!
Super soggy December so far but dry and warm in my remodeled little home... the old snug as a bug in a rug could apply,
Although my remodel-finish-to-do-list still has many must-finish, I have finally begun creating art again making over 130 new Sumi-e original blank note cards. I have uploaded most images to my Zazzle store and on Fine Art America web store. Brought these cards to Traditions Cafe in Downtown Olympia and to Bainbridge Arts & Crafts on Bainbridge Island. Feel balanced again to be making art.
I just posted many new block prints in the web gallery and of course, in my online shops. I had two participants come to the house to learn how to make block prints last Saturday. It is so exciting to be able to offer mini classes in my house which basically becomes mostly studio although I trap most of the creative materials in the "art/office" aka extra bedroom. My "studio" aka ex enclosed deck needs to be insulated underneath the floor. It is a very well lighted area and all my PMC & Enameling Supplies are out there. I just have to bundle up to work out there or wait for a sunny day... ^..^ sun in winter in the PNW... hmmmm
As far as classes, the Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation booklet just came out and I have the information listed on my web class page. Please contact me if interested in private lessons...
Remember art classes make an excellent holiday gift of creativity.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Holiday Season!
