Yesterday I was able to grout this Fall Leaves Vase. I spend over an hour on this, picking out the grout from the textured glass. I like how this one turned out.

Friday and I am on my way to Grand Marais to pick up my large Mirror.

Today I will be journeying to Grand Marais to pick up my Large Mirror from Stephan Hoglund's gallery. I am anxious to see this Mirror again.

Here is the Vase with Fall Leaves that I was working on Monday while Eli was getting his leg amputated. I think this is an optimistic whimsical look at Fall. The other Vase (with the smaller "waist"), as well as the Vase with the Sun are what I was worked on yesterday.

Tuesday and a large mirror sold on Etsy

My very LARGE Mirror with Vines has sold on Etsy. I love this mirror but I am so glad that it now has a permanent home.

Monday September 9 - a sad day for us

This morning I need to bring in our cat Eli to the vet. He was missing for sixteen days and when he arrived back home, he was unable to put any weight on his left front paw. We brought him to the vet, who discovered after x-raying Eli, that he had been shot. The bullet went in through his shoulder and is now lodged in his back. Today both his leg and the bullet will be removed.

A finished Frida Kahlo

I finished Frida Kahlo. I miss working on her. Tea lights are just not that inspiring to me. Of course, the ispiration to do tea lights could come and catch me again.

Tuesday and Frida is ready to grout.

I finished cutting and attaching the pineneedles to Frida's background yesterday. Today I will grout either her face and neck in a terra cotta color or else her dress in white. I am so excited to see her grouted!

Monday with Frida

I am so close to being done with this Frida! It has been so fun to work on her and I spend my time thinking about my friend Maggie who recently died. Frida meant so much to her. Seems like a great memorial to Maggie.

I will use at least three colors to grout. A white for Frida's dress, terra cotta for her face and neck, and dark grey for her hair and the pines.
