  • Market Collective

    The summer is going by so fast I didn’t even realize the Market Collective 5 Year Aniversary Sale is coming up next weekend. I’m so behind on posting! But for those in Calgary come down and check it out. With great music, art and people it promises to be a good time.

  • Mountain Made – A Craft & Artisan Market

    Come down and see me in Canmore on June 1st 2013. I’ll be selling some of my lovely fabric sculptures along with 30 other talented vendors. There is no charge for admission so there is no reason not to come down, have a look around.

  • Whale Mobile

    A good friend of mine has given birth to a beautiful little baby boy. As a gift I have made her a whale mobile. I am really quite pleased with how it turned out, hopefully she is too! Click here to see the full sculpture.

  • Pretty Pictures are Back

    Soooo …. my images weren’t backed up either. I don’t know why I didn’t learn the backing up lesson when my computer was stolen, but it seems I didn’t. So in the deep dark crevices of my external hard drive, I’ve managed to find some of the images of my paintings and sculptures, but not all. Of course I don’t still have all of that art to retake the pictures from, some have been sold, yeah, and some have mysteriously disappeared, ?. But alas I have to move onwards and just show what I have, and kick it into high gear making some new works. My boy kept trying to tell me, look on the positive side, opportunity is the same word as crisis in Chinese, blah, blah, blah … But I finally stopped crying and screaming at my host (it’s not entirely their fault, but god, does their customer service suck, I don’t recommend Host Papa!) and realized that I can’t dwell, and now can create something better.

    It is going to take a little time though, and now that is not really what I’m flush with. I’m leaving to take care of my parents Inn, The Prairie Creek Inn, for a week in a week and than I fly off to Mexico for two very good friends wedding, and then its a week before Christmas. Somehow I will find the time in amongst all of that, but I more than likely wont have a shinny new site up until after the new year. So check back with me in January for something good.

  • Am I Important Enough to get Hacked?

    So as many people have probably heard, Hostpapa had some sort security breach yesterday and as a result many websites hosted by them got hacked. Including yours truly! I didn’t think much of it, I backed up like a good little girl. But I have just now come to a very sad conclusion, the backups I did did not backup my theme. The custom theme that I built for myself was deleted by myself when I was wiping wordpress, post hack, just thinking I could import my website again. My blog info is still safe and all my images, but the site sure doesn’t look as pretty anymore. And I’m sure your asking, why don’t you have the original files on your computer for the custom theme. Ah well, a little laptop theif took those and that computer couple of months ago. I guess I know what I’m doing this weekend.

  • Goldfish

    A new sculpture I just finished. I was originally thinking a mobile, but i like the plinth, it feels more solid but still has some nice movement. Click here to see the full sculpture or click on the article to see close ups of the other two fish.

  • Peahen Fabric Sculpture

    Peahen head

    Some details of a new fabric sculpture I just finished. I’ve been really inspired by the peahen (the female peacock) lately. I really love how they only have a patch of teal on their necks that blends into the browns and greys of the rest of their bodies. Click here to see the full sculpture.
