A Well Deserved Break

In the last four months I’ve made 19 new pieces, 10 of which went together to form one piece that’s now hanging in the Forum at the Bellevue Arts Museum. In the last weeks leading up to my delivery date I was pushing hard to get it all done. I did not find time to post here in the blog but I did keep a countdown of sorts on Facebook. It’s so easy to snap a photo with my phone and post it there. It’s immediate and a nice way to keep my friends in the loop. Here are some of the photos and captions I posted there. The photos were taken with my phone so not as good a quality as usual, but you can get the idea.

Hmmm . . . 20 days to get 10 of these done . . .
