HIATUS IS OVER

After a very long dry spell, this blog is back. While I knit and wrote and made art, I did not post to this blog. Being without a camera (Truly, my dog DID eat the camera!) also kept me from blogging photos. So all in all, here is a start. And here is an embedded slide show of some new work. The slide show offers a glimpse into my week at Art Camp for Ole Biddies (what my DD calls it) held at Hemlocks Studio in Cedar Mountain, NC. The work here includes clay monotypes, watercolor resist on Pellon and oil pastel. Also there's a little fused quilt for some color. Hope to share more soon.

Somebody once said that people become artists
because they have a certain kind of energy to release, and that rings true to me.
