Dreaming of Summer.............

I just received the catalogs for Haystack and Penland .......decadent workshops for adults and some young........

Upon gazing at these......... my mind drifted back to last summer..........

Where for two weeks, I studied with  Helen Carnac from Great Britain at Penland.............




.......to wander and ponder......











being influenced by the land ...........

noticing what caught our attention as we strolled........
  



















Picking up treasures along the way.........
















And from those treasures we made tools to 'mark' with......












and made marks with the tools......




and I used my 'map' as a guide........
















to make more marks with knots..........


And rust..............









To eventually end up with.........




This collection..................


of industrial enamel on steel panels............

And these two lovely pins I donated to the auction.........so sad to see them go!












And I will now wake up from my dream............and perhaps dream some more............

To be continued..........

OH, and Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow yesterday...........predicting an early Spring! And now I'm rushing into summer..........

  2. Gosh! Thank you Janet!!! It's hard for me to pick between metal and fabric! I think I'll just focus on the marks.....and go easy on myself.

    But really! Thank You! And the bowls are an ongoing project......I'm aiming for 100.......

    Would love to see what you are making!
