Weird Mushrooms

These polymer clay canes look like a weird bunch of mushrooms growing out of my studio table.

anchor's away!

I refer to these most recent canes as simple/complex canes. This is truly an oxymoron."Simple" because the images are just that, granted — when producing the cane however they are anything but. Maybe graphic/complex cane is more apropos. The graphic nature of the images require more symmetry to be successful than an organic cane might. I just have to keep reminding myself to make calculated decisions and not to take short cuts. Hopefully I'll get to finish this before the storm comes. Sounds like it might shut down the region as the day progresses tomorrow. I'll be curious to see how the waves hold up when reduced - but that will probably have to wait 'til next week.

st. patty's day

While St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland - I started moving my stuff back to my studio. The life of a nomad is not for me. I like one space to park my stuff and not to feel guilty having it spread out and messy. My family must be so very happy to see me move. We can now sit at our dining room table again. It helped very much that it is a gorgeous day.
