work stuff



I don't seem to be inspired by writing currently, though I do have some things I am toying with. I'll sit down ready to work on a post and before too long my mind starts wandering back to the model I am working on. And then my body follows so I must fall back on my doings. I have been in and out of the city to tend to some business but all my other time has been spent in the studio.

You might remember this drawing from earlier in the summer.


I finally got a picture of the installation.



My other accomplishment in the city, besides securing a small job, some face time with the grandkids and lunch with friends, was meeting with the art director and possible donor for another art project at the Methodist church where we did the work in the chapel. The donor seemed interested in the project, didn't seem put off by the estimated dollar amount so now I have to do a more complete drawing and sample and get it priced out. This will be a bit of a different project for me as I will be collaborating with a friend of mine who does fused architectural glass. These will be colored fused glass panels (3 of them) approximately 42" x 102". I'll do the design work and assist him in the fabrication.

So, now we are back home and I am holed up in my studio again.

    I owe you a photo.. and that's still to come. We're heading back to the cottage in a few days. Eventually I'll settle in long enough to get a few things done. I haven't forgotten. :)
