Day 6

I'm extremely grateful that someone who'd admired my work during Best of the Northwest came back to claim an altered book for her own!

Laura chose "It's Complicated" earlier this week, and I hand-delivered it yesterday. I feel doubly grateful she purchased this altered book: Laura made room for it in a home whose walls are covered in art!

Day 5

I'm grateful for the chance to talk art and galleries with an acclaimed Seattle mixed media artist, Marita Dingus. Fun to talk to, lots of concrete suggestions for action... today was a good day.

I'm grateful for the beauty of patina on old statues, and for learning techniques to recreate this weathered look in my work. (In fact, I've created a whole Pinterest board of patina'd and aged items. Go see.)
