Crafty Wonderland Super Colossal Holiday Sale

Crafty Wonderland Application

Crafty Wonderland 2009

My recent adventures with cast items, the completion of my new studio setup, acquisition of a fifty-gallon slip mixer, and nine months of gathering a LOT of new molds to play with has made it clear that this was going to be a productive Fall and Winter.    Some new cups and butter dishes are already taking shape, but I am still working on patterns for a few new things like the Mary-on-donkey Melitta style coffee funnel or the Butter Jesus and Jeaster Bunny toothbrush holder.

You can come see some of my stuff in person at the 2009 Crafty Wonderland Super Colossal Holiday Sale this year on December 13th, 2009, or at one of the other sales that I will announce when the time is a bit closer and I have an idea of what other sales my work will fit into.

Send me an email if you would like to on the mailing list for show announcements.

What do you do?

I often pause when answering the question “what do you do?”.  It’s just every time I hear it I have to consider the audience and intention.  But when pressed for time, or simply to be as concise as possible I sometimes find myself just saying “I make things out of stuff”.

As annoying or elusive as this answer may seem, it’s true.  To pin myself down to one mode, medium, or occupation would be like saying every day was Tuesday or every month is November.  Now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, the introduction of seasons has not only made my yearly cycles more distinct, but I have learned that what I create flows with the seasons and this cycle cannot be stopped any easier than it would be to make the sun shine in Portland, OR on a dark January afternoon.
