Shelby

(aka Sheby like Chevy the truck)

 You can see for yourself Our Lives are so full of light.

Oh so full.

I am grateful for this Life I said yesterday and every hour lately.

"A car crash tends to do this" says Heather the really nice ICBC lady said to me yesterday.

"Get back in the saddle" she said to me yesterday.

"Drive again soon" she clarified.

I aksed her if it is okay to never drive to Tofino again. She said "Yes Mickey".

Now that the gallery Cedar Corners, that carried my work is closed forever over there I will not be going back.

Greatfully I am done now.

Two years they carried and sold my work.

One year of going where I don't want to be, all done now.

The car will be alright.

We are fine too.

I am greatfull for all I have.

Thank you.

Love

Dreams Goals and Pictures

Are these things interchangable?
Oh Yes! I do think so.
I have so many plans for this new home of ours.
Good solid plans complete with auto cad drawings!
A long time friend of mine is a professional inventor.
He is now living in this sleepy little town once again.
He left over a decade ago and has come back to be married soon.
He has been so very helpful in helping me build my dream with this new Home.
My picture of a little window here and a little window there is evolving because of his labour.
He has very very very generously done some  cad work for the little gallery space I want on this property.
I will give you this teaser and no more for the time being.
He has also decided to help me make money by offering up an out building that will be ever-so slightly-cutting-edge for sleeping in. A  hotel of sorts... a Snow Apple Hotel...

Suffice to say, it is good to leave you hanging.

I have dreamed of a home like this for a long time. I have held some of the things I really really like close to the fore front in my minds eye for a long time. I have sketches from four years ago that now fit seamlessly onto this place we live.
Under the weight of the busy-get-to-work-busy-season I feel the importance of picturing the dreams and picturing the goals.
I would have taken a picture of the rain drops balancing on the -teeny-tiny new kale leaves.
I would have taken a picture of the paint choice in the last "unclaimed" room.

So you could picture the lush soft light green that will soon peek through either the orange or red that will be dry brushed on top of it...

:D
Cheers everyone.
Happy Dreaming.

Ergo Mice

So this idea of getting back on the computer has my forearms throbbing.
Enough to wake my up at night.
As a Potter this sometimes happens no matter what.
I rub hot spicy salves in.
I bind them every so often.
I have even used chop sticks and socks with staples and tape.
Once we rigged up a great splint from a couple of Styrofoam meat trays.
(we bought dolomades rather often in them. Not meat! ;)

Yup. Yup.
Creative is a fun thing especially when discomfort comes into play.

So what is this Wah-Wah- all about you ask?
Well, it all started with this latest List.
On The List was: get the camera up and running and get a new ergo mouse.

Gooden-nessI love those ergo mice.

I go through them fairly fast.
One will last for up to six months.
Because the tracking ball is manipulated by a bare hand it gums up inside fairly fast.
I have (insert creative necessity here) learned to take them apart well enough to clean the innards well enough to have them last a wee teeny tiny bit longer than without cleaning.
Alas, I have not found a way to have them last longer and they are tricky to find.
I have spent this last week traipsing around this teeny tiny little town for camera parts and for a new mouse.
I have spent the last two evenings online wanting to drop some cash in the lap of an ergo mouse dealer to no avail.
You get no pictures and I get no mouse.
I am wondering if it is a sign to simply stay away from the computer for a time longer.

Life is very busy now that September is here.
I am back with the school district.
I feed two boarders.
I am renovating (still:) and still love love loving it)
I am hosting regular art classes for  young children and have two private lessons to teach each week as well.
Not to mention the kind of parenting I do is intensive and fairly involved from sun up to sun up.
Tonight I will keep up the run of three nights in a row I will have toothpaste on the brush and actually get my pearlies scrub-a-dub-dubbed!
So. on with it shall we?

Here are some of the styles three of which for one reason or another won't let me buy them right away.
So, more links....

Nope still no  Photos and Yup Yup more links.

Ergo Mouse
Another Ergo Mouse
and now
finally, the Ergo mouse I had and would replace IF they'd let me.

Now where is my spicy arm rub?

Art Week Solid and Long

This week started off fast and solid.

I have begun Studio Days once again.
Once again it is on a Monday.
I love Mondays.
Always have loved Mondays.
For the last few years Studio Mondays have made the rather ordinarily-full-of-verve-and-gusto-great-Monday even better!

Today was the first day of Art Classes for small children.
Gosh that went over really well by all accounts.
Eli Love Love Loved it. Art classes in his home for a change.
Usually we go out to do them.
Snow Apple Studios was wild and fun with sturdy and nutritious learning once again.
-----* yes, that was a shameless plug *-----

This Friday we go to  CHOICES with our hand styled sign up sheet for classes with them again this year.
I feel honoured and glad to be invited back for a third year.
Truly Honouring to my mind.

I studied a set of books this Summer.
Drawing with Children and her other one Drawing with (or is for) Older Teens and Adults by Brookes
I will be using some of the excerpts from it in my art classes. I have done a few of the excersizes in the first one and really liked how focused I became. It was good.

I have added to Snow Apples' Library in the last few months too.
Here are a couple of the titles I really like;
Look! Body Language In Art
She has a few more titles that after seeing this one I will get the others as well.
and I bought and am pouring over
Image Transfer In Clay
So many good juicy books come from Lark Press!
Linking these titles tonight brought me to Googles Book Search for the first time!
Wowser That was too much fun.
This day must include sleep very very soon.
:D
I wish all of you a good solid sleep dreaming of your Perfect>
Be well.
Cheers

List Made ... Again Today.

I did up a very do-able list.
Yup Yup. I did indeed.
We went to town.
Going  to town feels like a really big effort now since I love our New-Forever-Home.
No success getting parts for the camera from the one store went to.

So what!
lol
I did The List, managed to bring all the things I needed for the camera fellow to help me and get out the door with a spare cloth diaper.
Sometimes these things are the best of a List-Day.

I would have taken the picture of the fresh bread and of the new ever so sweet blue woolly vest I finished this List-Day.
I would have taken a picture of the hole I dug for one fence post and the reclaimed lumber I pulled some nails out of and walked to the top of the property and stacked in the barn.
Piles of lumber are photo worthy I my BO (Big Opinion).

So, I ask of you to picture the pictures and enjoy your day Fully and Deeply.
Stay wide open and breeeeath all the Fall day long.
Peace Out

Today I Make A list.

I have not been blogging lately.
I have lost our camera cord in the move.
I also made a promise to myself and Eli that I will not be on the computer for mere than an hour each day.
So, no bloggin'!

Tomorrow I will buy a cord and I will spend time blogging.
Why?

I find this blog helps me focus on Art.
This is a good thing, No?
Yup Yup focus on Art.
It has been a while and the time has come.
Hang in there everyone I will blog again by next week!

:D
Yay Fall is Falling!

New Digs

This is my new Studio space.

For real!

Oh me O me O my!

A dream has come down from the Sky.

All this for Me and my Sweety Pie.

So fortunate am I.

Check out the rest of our near acre...

 

Yup Yup.
That tire is Ours.

That roll of some kinda weirdo rubber belt presumably from a mill is Ours.

And, yes.
That lovely old hand-milled-from-trees-on-the-property-complete-with-electrical-service-big-enough-to-run-a-mill-or-a-studio-with-ease... is Ours too.

Eli Approves.

I hope your Life is full of Wonder fullness too!

Now I will finish writing up the news paper adverts for the Summer classes.
Smile on everyone!

Peace out

Story Crafting in Clay through Port Alberni's Parks and Rec

This is going to be the ad for two of the classes through our very own Parks and Recreation.

Well, I will confess I am jumping the gun a wee bit here. I just wordsmithed what Diane sent me for rewriting. She may make changes. I invited her to... for real... not just implied politely that she could comment but I will convince her other wise!

;)

It has been quite a few years since I have worked with Parks and Rec here. I wonder if the classes will do as well as clay classes used to!

 I am nervous or is it is just anxious?

"What-if-nobody-signs-up-itis" strikes deft like a pissed off cobra ... again!

Through Sleet and Sun

As some know One must garden.

Yup Yup.

It is the time of year to ignore every single inspiration and instinct.

One must endure late nights of twitching and mental writhing.

Simply put, One must not plant seeds into the garden yet.

*sigh*

So, I have taken to sorting and fondling my seeds.

I have taken to sketching and plotting digging and sitting in the Garden.

Not Planting.

Well, okay I lied.

I have planted a wee little bit of Kale ... and Calendula... and mustard greens... and sunflower seeds... and beans.

Just a few you see. 

Close to the Cottage wall no less.

In the raised South facing plant bed sturdy on the concrete walkway.

That should be fine. Right?

One 

(translate the One in to the word Me)

Me hopes the snow yesterday went undetected by all the little tiny delicate sprouts that are most probably snuggled in the loam.

I am afraid to look today and so I won't look at all.

Not one little peek.

Nope Nope

I will however, share a couple of my seeds packets I made up today.

I hope I understand how to link it up here!

Wish us luck with the link and the seedlings and the fight for self discipline!

:D

Story Crafting Summer Workshop

 

Old and New Together

Today we went to China Creek Beach, again.

(imagine the scene and insert here)

With coffee, fresh bread.

(well alright alright, day-old-homemade-fresh-bread)

Especially great with cheese-slicer slabs of butter and sharp aged cheddar and Gouda.

(imagine the scene and insert here as well)  

 

Yes, together on the same slice.

No, not together in the coffee

(imagine the scene and insert here too)  

 

Oh Divine really.

*

We used to pack up a skinny thermos with coffee and sit in and amongst the cold rocks at the quay.

Early foggy mornings.

So cold.

And totally worth it.

So nice.

On that note;

Once I got a phone call to my wee little and lovely bookstore that the crew had arrived to clean the rocket fuel left in the french press with a titanium based power scrubber. 

That is not a direct quote mind you. 

The words "rocket fuel" and "Titanium" "to clean up" are direct quotes though.

*

It has been a while since I have had coffee and this was really the Perfect Time for it.

Despite the fact the coffee is now decafe surely it is why my eyes were sharply focused enought to spot eagle feathers stranded in the backwash of seaweeds and fine roots!

*

Right?

*

I pulled those thick stemmed quills out a bit like one might pull a solid and fine sliver smoothly from the fleshy palm of ones hand.

Those eagle feathers slipped out of the debris just like that.

*

My intention is to make a few new water colour brushes with the quills.

My Dad made my favourite ones thus.

I still have them.

Quills cut and partially stuffed with wax and fur bond together by copper wire.

So nice. So nice.

Yup Yup.

Remember this link from a post way back?

Wish List = Brush Heaven 

Shall we reminisce a wee bit more? 

*Enjoy*

*

At this point in the post I would get the photos of  loaded up for us.

Alas,

Nope Nope. 

Not gonna happen!

I don't know why they won't load today.

I'll try again soon.

No words just pictures in the next post.

K?

Celeriac Yak-etiy Yak-Yak.

..•*¨`*•♫.•´*.¸.••*¨`*•♫.•´*.¸.•.•*¨`*•♫.•´*.¸.•.•*¨`*•♫.•´*..•*¨`*•♫.•´*.¸.•¸.•

Two of my friends are visiting us.

Lunch today is homemade nooodle-oodle-oddle-eys with chopped olives and dried peppers, rosemary, olive oil, and red onion. . . In the tea pot is Fennel, peepermint, whole anise and fennugreek steeped in fresh mountain water.
 Just in case you are still up for more foods the is some maple syruple baked beans from a few days ago...
this is part of my exciting afternoon later today with two lovely friends!
Yay!
.•*¨`*•♫.•´*.¸.•Shine on my Friends!.•*¨`*•♫.•´*.¸.•

Oh,

Right!

I wanted to talk a wee bit about Celeriac.

My Mum swore it was the secret ingredient for the best split pea soup ever.

My Dad thought it ruined split pea soup.

To debate it now

I bought one the other day an minced it into a marinated mushroom salad.

Apples, ground pepper, raspberry vinegar, Sambal Olek (chopped chili peppers) and a wee bit of tea (like the above mentioned)

The salad was very tasty.

The Celeriac humm...

I liked it well enough.

It was tough in comparison to the rest.

Starchy rubbery.

I won't add it again.

I suppose I could try ribboning it and rubbing it and soaking it in flavours.

Naw.

Won't happen anytime soon.

I will however grow it top for I think what is called "Chervel".
(Or is that the small lion type cat?)
Cherivel
Cherviel
Oh me oh me oh my I dunno for certain.

What ever it real name
it really means celery greens!

:D

That was my favourite soup when I was small and right up to date really.

So to recap.

Celeriac is good for reminiscing not eating.

However, as an herb I am in!

Sparkle Puff over and out!

New Personal and Pottery Year

This is New Years Eve.

It feels electric for me.

2010 seems like as big a deal as turning 10.

Double digits then and I don't know why now.
It just IS.

I feel a bit like I am ready to set sail in my little Sabot just like when I was 10.

this is China Creek Marina and looks a wee bit like the place outside my childhood home

I am feeling really organized for the first time in two years.
I bought a fine and tidy moleskin agenda.
I like it ... a lot.
I have bought  an entire pack of plain wooden pencils.
They look the best and feel the best too.
My desk drawers are in great shape too.
In a quick and decisive frenzy I tidied them up a couple of weeks ago.
The three galleries/stores carrying my work are stocked right up to the brim.
Yup Yup I am feeling Solid (today;)

This is a box full going to "Market"

This last year I have been working at using the google calendar for things.
I love the email-me-a-note-of-up-coming-events-option.
It has saved my bacon more than once I tell you!
(hummm, mental note to self find a new term for "save my bacon")

The next three months I have "events" scheduled in both my agendas/calendars already.
Between work three mornings a week we have four classes at Echo we will be attending.
I say "we" since naturally Eli will be with me for every single one of them :D
Composting 101
Organic Back Yard Foods (gardening too)
and
the most exciting one... Strega Nona's pasta Party!
For those of you that don't know of Strega Nona's Magical Pasta Pot a story by Tomie DePaola.
I grew up with the story. I much much much preferr it to the scorcerers apprentice.
It is about and old nearly witch granny kinda woman and a young fellow that lives with her. He doesn't listen and the pot just keeps filling up and filling up. You know the drill.
Echo is putting on an interactive story and spegetti lunch. Eli Torin Felice and I are going.
Maybe we will see you there eh?
:D

Also I have signed up for set of inspirational talks on Love and Play. "Interactive online seminars  drawn from work in emotioning and languaging  by Dr. Humberto Maturana  and work in understanding affect-based human development by Dr. Stanley Greenspan."
It is being hosted through Wonder Tree Village an online homeschooling "Village" that we have been part of since the very first year a long time ago!
I am proud to still be involved with "The Village" and have made many friends over the years.

 

Classes anyone?

I am offering private individual lessons this new year as well.
Three people scheduled thus far and not much time for more than one maybe two more.
I am ready and open for a Grand and Fine 2010.

And lastly,
here are the words from the little poster I made for me to remind myself of when I panic and feel like my life is terrible. You know the days don't you? They come creeping in an sit squarely at my feet and won't budge sometimes. Winston Churchill called them his "black dog".
I get it!

Here is the banishment poster:

My Health is Solid and Vibrant.

My Home is Cozy, Inviting and Nurturing.

My Income is Dependable and Increasing.

My Children are Intelligent, Competent and Open.

My Tools are "at the ready".

I have Everything I need to Excell.

Happy 2010 My Web Friends

from This Small West Coast Family.

Commissions Noodles & Bottles & Heads

Ready: One commission.

Ready: Three "Serengeti Trees" wall hangings

Hummm... I thought this was a closer-er-up kinda pickey...

Oh well.

This next one is indeed a closer-er-est up Full of goodness pickey.

Fresh home made all in the same spot on our counter

Noodle-oodle-ooddle-ies!

 

Here they are drying a little bit.

One egg in a small sifted a small mound of white flour with maybe a tablespoon of water to get it a wee bit sticky er than it was pre-water.

I will  not trouble myself to buy noodles ever again I think.

Check it out...

how clean the counter is after the whole ten minuets of noodle making!

See?

I even made the photo "ex-tra large" so you could see the clean counter.

It is where I glopped the stuff together and rolled it out a few times.

So sweet!

So tasty.

*

The little bowl those cooked beauties are in is from a waaaay back.

Strangely enough a local Vancouver Island potter (who's name escapes me at this moment) was invited

by the Royal Victoria Museum to make various sized bowls for the gift shop.

I understood they were asked to have them for the Egypt exhibit seven or eight years back.

The bowls were really great.

The Tenemok glaze is fine.

The clay is uber groggy and it looks deluxe.

The picture makes the noodles look okay and the bowl less than that.

*

I still have a few hieroglyphic pencils from that exhibit too.

We traveled from Port to Victoria round trip in one day with three kids and one cranky-does-not-travel-well-nor -like-singing-in-the-car-Father.

I kept saying that if any of my children grown up or otherwise came home with some of the things those fellows raided from tombs and temples

I would demand they

"put that back immediately".

I still fee that way about that exhibit. 

Frankly, I feel that way many times in museums.

*

We used to have a shrunken head in our tiny little museum here.

Yes, for real.

I learned how to tell the diff between a fake and a real one... it is all in the eye brows.

The fake shruken heads used to be made from goats and modified a bit.

Goats have no eyebrows. Humans do.

How's that for waaay more info you ever expected from a pottery blog huh?

LOL

Here one last look into our kitchen window ledge to help ease you mind.

A few of my bottles.

I love old bottles.

Picked that addiction up from my Dad.

*Hi Dad*

We used to go dig up our back yard in Ayr Ontario and find seriously the coolest artifacts and household debris from ages and ages ago.

These pottery Boles bottles are salt glazed and both tip/lean and are dented.

Scored them a few months ago at the free store.

Sweet, huh?

:D

District 70 Home Learners Art Class *Oak Art*

 *.*


I am Teaching 3 mornings a week.
My dream job.

Eli was not happy.

I tried to quit.

 "Nope" They said.
"Let's try web cam delivery."

After three times

"Nope." said the Students.
"Bring the baby." They said.

I did.

All is well now.

Eli's second year at this school.

Eli sleeps in the sling on me.
*sigh*

The rest of us do Art Class.

Oak Art Class

We invite you to come see from time to time.

Be well every one as I suppose this is the last post of the Year 2009.

I wish all my readers deep warm contentment.
Be well.

Hello and happy Halloween.
We went to a friends' home yesterday.
We ate great homegrown food. Really lovely-Homemade-Everything
and...
I read aloud  the Inuit story of Skeleton Woman.
It is from the book Women Who Run With Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
By 8 we were walking around a slightly rural neighbourhood under the nearly full moon.

Picturesque.

Just the right kind of memories for recounting.
By 10:30 Bone Woman and Bone Boy were tucked into bed and out like a light!

Today I have been trying to get the videos out of my camera.
I am not certain why the aren't unloading. Maybe they are too long?
Dunno...

I hope the weather stays just like this for a little while more.
I am giving up on downloading the video of my story.
mostly because
Vinyl Cafe is on.
I love a good story and there is a fellow that knows how to do up a good story too.
So, I'm gonna go now.

Cheers.

Island Gurrl Bowls

I am an Island Gurrl.

I love my Coast.

I love it this much...

 

Studio Vehicle On Sunday.

I very recently bought wheels.

Jetta wheels!

Forest Green...

Sometimes Life looks like this.

Eli likes birds and so in this Studio Vehicle we have one wooden bristly crow and one wooden bristly owl.

I have now used this new-to-us-car for things like

I tried to leave this picture a wee bit fuzzy so you wouldn't see the chocolate bar and the box of cookies... didn't work.

Today we went for breakfast at Quality Foods and shopped after that.

Then Eli fell asleep.

So, I turned the car 'round and went to one of my favourite places to collect and ground and center myself...

Thumpity bumpity round and lumpity the road goes.

Thumpity bumpity round and lumpity the car goes.

Thumpity bumpity round and lumpity Life sometimes goes.

Ocean and drift wood and trees and stones and fog and drizzle and

"Caw-caw" Raven is annoyed.

And "squeal squak squak squak" the gulls lament.

China Creek Marina is good.

So are driftwood forts... look carefully...

 

 

I leave you with the fine print.

x. u r missed.

Arting With District 70 Homelearners

I really love finding people's strengths and building upon them.
It is a well known fact in this little town I am not a big believer that "this is what you should be learning because you are 14 and therefore it is what I will talk about and test you on whether you are interested or not"
Nope Nope.
None of that for me!

:D
I feel so very very honoured to have been asked to teach for the school district this year again.
The whole year this time!
Wowser.



I love teaching or closer to true is I love guiding folks to unleash their power to create.
Dang! That certainly came out well!
lol

So, here is a small list of the projects we will move towards in the coming months.

"The Sacred Bottle"
Every Thursday we will draw paint sketch doodle and or scribble a clear glass bottle, outside rain or shine. We will see some really cool changes in our styles and abilities over the year.

"Comfy is Paramount"
We will dress in ways that we feel comfy and we will sit and talk about art in a space that we make comfy and we will have beautifull art supplies available and chocolate and cookies Oh and plants and pillows. Some of the art supplies will be there for "The Crew" to come use during the week outside of the class time. Must 'do' when Inspiration strikes or when Mama is shopping at QF!
LOL

"Artisan Village"
I want to inspire the long term thought of what a harmonious, nurturing, energetic city would look like... physically look like. The people; how would they dress how would You dress? The buildings what would they look like what would your home look like. Plants signs streets the whole she-bang what would an Artisans Village look to you and to us ans a group?
Over the next few months we will collect ideas and pictures ( both cut outs and hand made sketches and drawings etc.) and make up a little Village. It will incorporate some of the lessons in technical drawing and painting of people and buildings.


I have asked everyone to commit to every Thursday even if they don't feel so hot.
That way no one feels left out in including me.
Sometimes I might have a project set up for a particular person and it sucks when said particular person  isn't there.
So, upon the most unfortunate event of either death or disembowelment thus is good reason not to be at Art Class.
No less!
:D

I think everyone was more at ease with each other this week (a total of three classes now).
We covered a bit on perspective and wound down with some water colour action.
It went well, I think.
lol
I could get a survey going to check in with how they felt about it I suppose.
;)

Sparkle Puff over and out.
As one of my fave humans used to say, "Peace Out".

Mushrooms and Pants

What a Lovely thing to come home to!

 A little bit of garlic...well, alright that is not true.

A LOT of garlic.

Eli pants.

Soft soft canvas placed upon a bottle for display.

They will not stand up on their own, oh so soft!

One wee little pocket for "things" maybe grapes?

The pocket is of the same cloth I have made a smock for myself.

I love matching.

I see the attraction to folks who have the team jacket or "his" and "hers" stuff.

Funny I had never really done that before.

"Family Wear"

I am all about it now!

:D

here are a couple of pictures of the pants in action!

 

Breakfast this very morning!

The ol' melon and corn puff stand by!

Now I am going to attempt to throw some pots.
