What’s new at the studio

There’s something so satisfying about taking a bunch of broken dishes and making something new with them. And since spring isn’t too far off, it made sense to create something with that in mind. I’m loving this guy, and I think he’ll be part of a series. We’ll see!

Over the holidays, I repainted a small wooden toy chest that belonged to one of my girls many years ago. Now her son will enjoy a “Wind in the Willows” themed toy chest that his Grammy painted just for him.

Having my work for sale in America’s oldest art supply store (since 1852!) is a thrill beyond words! C.C. Lowell in Worcester, Massachusetts has expanded their inventory in recent years to include items created by local artists, my stuff included! Check it out!

I fantasized about endless, rambling studio hours when the weather was warming up this past spring, but life got in the way. “Clumps” of creative time were all I could muster, but not nearly enough to fill me up. And alas, here we are, holidays fast approaching and 2022 is winding to a close.

But, some fun new crafty things did happen! Here are a few of examples of items that are heading over to Dandelions gift shop in Barre, and they may end up at holiday fairs near you! Keep your eyes open!
