After the Fall Art Tour

A slow computer on a dial-up/land-line connection
has been preventing more regular posts...
but, here's a quick update:
Victoria Lansford is including my spoon efforts in her new DVD about Eastern Repousse...
I'll announce when it's available.
Mary Machare wrote a wonderful piece about her visit to my studio during the Fall Art Tour...
If you missed the Fall Art Tour................
you can still "wander" through my studio...

I did finally make a proof of the woodblock in progress....
and will be posting it soon...
along with the wood prints done so far
in Booger's 40 day and 40 Night disappearance...

and I'm ever so slowly opening up an ETSY account....
