We made it !! I'm standing here at the front counter, looking around, can't believe we are finally here. Our January "Comfort Your Den in 2010" undertaking was a lot more than I could have ever imagined. This was not just moving a few personal belongings, files and computer to the Gallery. It was going throught 10 years of parden my mouth CRAP!!! What I didn't realize when I decided to open my personal space, the green studio, to the public and create "Signature Studios" was that I would be going through many many boxes of "stuff" accumulated over the past 10 years - ever since our home burned down in 1999. The little green studio was my saftey net, my world, my nesting and hoarding- or hunting and gathering . . . no sure which. Well, the time came to move on and "Comfort my Den in 2010" is what I have done. Yestesterday we (Miss Shayna and I) purchased our new bed for the Gallery. The old blanket thrown on the floor just didn't get it here in the Gallery - but it is back in the Studio waiting for those days we teach and become creative again.
Going through, sorting, cleaning, pitching (not much!!) revealed to me something totally unexpected. My own art!! Having completed only two works of gourd art during the past two years of developing Harvest Arts I have realized how much I miss it. Now that the Studio is clean and organized maybe I can find not only the "stuff" to be creative with but the time too!!
Moving on to the Gallery and our next venue - "Comfort Your Den in 2010" with Grzyb, Frick and Faust. Steve, Lanie and Leslie are amazing and have been so much fun to work with. With a little pushing (OK, maybe a lot for one!!) they have developed some really new fun creations.
I think this "Comfort Your Den in 2010" is contageous - hopefully you will be inspired too!!
Please plan to visit us soon. All three Artists will be here for our "First Friday" receptions March 5th and April 9th from 4 PM to 9 PM. Of course we can't let a night go by with out appetizers and beverages!!! Mr. Greg will see to that . . . .Visit our calendar page for a listing of new workshops and soon (????) updates to our website to identify the "Signature" Artists for the NEW "Signature Studios".
