The Art Giveaway is still in session in my previous post! Check out the prior entry for details!

In the meantime I’ve been working on my own little project and this is where I am at this very moment.

I was able to take the pic in the sunlight a moment ago and that helps show the true (not exact but very close) color.

There’s still much to be done as nothing is complete so stand by for another update in the days to come.

Here’s a little background for those of you who don’t know me.

Not that long ago I was a potter who loved playing in the mud – Below is a picture of my booth at a show

This is an example of a decorative purse I made

This vase is in the above pic and here’s a close-up shot

This pot sat on my counter ~ I threw the pot part and handbuilt the spout part and attached the handle.

Since our moved to NY, my kiln, potters wheel, slab roller and all things essential for me to do my pottery have been locked away in storage (we have no room in our little apartment for a studio). I miss pottery, I’m missing the clay between my fingers, I miss the mess and mud, I miss playing dirty and all that goes into creating a piece of art.

Hubby and I are in the process of building a home which many of you know by now and hubby’s planning a studio for me so that one day I can play dirty again.

Back to drawing ~ it was this year that I picked up my pencils having not touched them in oh gees, I’d say at least 9 perhaps 10 years. These pencils have brought the passion of art back into my life and I’m overjoyed for that. The clean-up is a snap and I can just pick up and draw whenever I please.

I’m delighted to have a passion for art and the time to dedicate myself to see each drawing to completion. Passion no doubt has returned and I will be posting a lot more art now that our home plans are underway. More surprises are on the way, so stay tuned!
