getting ready

One last firing last night and that should be it for the "Gardens of Oz" show.  Well, I have a few things to put together, and Betsy and I are going to work on setting the stage, so to speak, in the gallery, so not really done yet. 

 

Below is a poster that one of the other artists at the gallery, Cathy Norosky, created for the show.  It is taken from the Riverside Artist's Gallery website and shows a picture of one of my turtles at left and one of Betsy Cook's flowers at right.  I have seen this glass and iron flower in person.  I think it's around seven feet tall.  Very much like the fanciful flowers in Munchkinland.

 

Today I spent hours cleaning up the glazing mess and trying to organize stuff.  Not nearly done.

 

Who released the flying monkeys in my workspace?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in the works

Here's a look at what's in process for a show I'll be doing with Betsy Cook at Riverside Artists Gallery on Friday, May 9nth.  The show is called "Gardens of Oz".  Why?  Because it's the 75th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz movie and Betsy really likes that movie, plus her imagination never takes a vacation. At first I was a little hesitant to go with a Wizard of Oz theme. (What???) It was just supposed to be a garden themed show.  Eventually I started to think up a few things to make and warmed up to the idea. So there will be a few Oz things thrown in with the other garden items.
You might be able to read the print if you click on the photo to enlarge it.  I experimented with placing print on these-not large enough, obviously.
