Running the Saturday errands.
Icicles on the edge of the library roof.
The pond just east of the library.
You can see that some cattails are in the sunshine, and others in the shadow of the building.
That afternoon, I went to an open studio. My friend Mary built this amazing studio in her back yard. Inspired by cottages, and Scandinavian design, she worked closely with an architect, and with her builder/carpenters, to achieve this amazing and gorgeous and inspiring space in which to work. Take a look at all the details............
Mary is a serious student of weaving, and most of the downstairs is filled with looms.
Upstairs is a more open space. That was where the variety of fine crafts for sale that day was found.
It turned out that I knew several of the artists whose excellent work was available. I used to belong to the local spinners' guild. I found that three of my favorite spinners were at Mary's (in addition to Mary, who also spins). I didn't know the potters, nor the glass-bead artist, nor the person who made the amazing fabric-flower jewelry....
I was so glad I'd been able to go. It was wonderful to get to see the studio, the beautiful things that were for sale, and to get to chat with old friends.
