Thanks to Florida Craftsmen Gallery
I seriously need to tip my hat and lavish adoration onto Diane Shelly and Maggie Duffy at Florida Craftsmen Gallery. Tomorrow Jody and I were going to hike up to St Petersburg to deliver art. However, it just so happened that Diane was down this way and offered to pick up my work for me. How totally nice is that? Seriously. How nice is that? So now I am not staring at a 4 hour drive (each way). All I can say is Wow.
The work gets installed at the Tampa Airport this week and there are a bunch of new pieces for the gallery on the way. Here are two pieces that you'll see at Florida Craftsmen this week. The first is a salt and pepper set which I totally love with sort of leaf forms on them. I am REALLY happy with the glaze. And the other is a double figure with a heart illustration on it. The title is Joined at the Heart for obvious reasons. So if you're near the gallery please stop by give a shout out to Maggie and Diane, they're SO nice.

New Snowbird Figure
There was a lovely lady (Constance) who wanted to buy a particular figure from my Etsy shop ask if I had another piece similar to one that had sold. I told her I would make another similar to it. So here she is so far. It's nice making something that will hopefully mean something to another person. I asked her what she liked in my figures and she listed the following: mis-matched stockings, a crown, an orange striped bathing suit, the word snowbird, and her little hands on her hips kind of sassy looking.
Isn't it funny how often people don't ask for things they want and in reality the person they are afraid to ask or don't want to "inconvenience" doesn't see it that way at all. Personally, I love making commissioned pieces. Creating work of a certain color, size or with special words or symbols for others is fun. So if there's something you want that isn't illegal or life endangering just ask.
Like my mom used to say "the worst thing people can say is no. They can't kill you and eat you". Well, unless you're in a bad sci-fi movie, but otherwise they can't. On this day I thought it appropriate to mention mom. I miss you.

Mad Hatter's Tea Party
The Mad Hatter's Tea Party is a fundraiser for the Armory Art Center Artist-in-Residence programs in ceramics, sculpture, jewelry and painting. I have 3 pieces in the show, one shown here titled "Off With Her Head" that will be auctioned tomorrow. The Armory asks that you bring your "wild and wacky hat" and "bid on their silent auction of hand-made contemporary teapots created by local and national artists". Awarded "The Best Luncheon in Palm Beach" by The Palm Beach Post's Tom Smith.

Exhibition at Present Global Gallery
It has been a whir since we arrived home from our summer vacation. Just so we didn't forget we were in Florida, good old mother nature threw Tropical Storm Fay at us just as soon as we got home. The latest satellite images of the Atlantic look like a conga line of hurricanes. Hey, but at least we are warm. I have been sculpting like a maniac since we arrived home. I have a show this Saturday night at Present Global Gallery in West Palm Beach. If you are in the area stop by an accept my invitation to oggle and ohh and ahh my artwork. The image that accompanies this entry is called Be Kind and it is ceramic and measures about 13" high and it is included in the show at Present Global. Hope you enjoy the work.
