inspiration

I've decided to design my own t-shirts alongside my design students
Rather than just do some random designs I've decided to look at adornment from other cultures
for some inspiration - http://petergasser.info/a_visual_journey/index.html
I'm not making any promises for the outcome but these pics are where I'm going to begin my design process.

Time to get back to work!

Our bank loan has been approved and we will be able to start construction on our studio and hopefully the renovation of this house which will be located in front of the studio - we could break ground any day now!

This coming October is going to be a busy month for us with lots of professional opportunities like
A collection of work due to Lede Gallery in Wake Forest NC
(check them out here:

I'm showing a collection of earrings at the Quirk Gallery in Richmond VA for the 6th annual Sparkle Plenty show
www.quirkgallery.com
I teach a cold connection workshop at Arrowmont this October
www.arrowmont.org
Mitch has been invited to exhibit work in Chicago - opening Oct 8th.
He and I will also be featured artists at the Princton Arts Council for the month October
The University of Southern Mississippi Art Department has invited us to put work in the alumni show in the Woods Gallery in October.

Having all of these artistic opportunities is awesome but clearly my time management will need some improvement.
Its time for me to start hitting the studio hard-core and making lots of new work!

These earrings are what I've been working on for Sparkle Plenty

Looks like its time for me to start planning some more pieces like this?

I am not the best blogger

Clearly this has been a futile effort.

I resolve to improve my blogging efforts for the sake of my students.

I shall blog or I shall fail.

For my AP students and for my artistic health; I blog.
