Had a great day yesterday and somehow was up at 6:00 AM so I got lots done. The main thing was getting set up on this site first off. And then figuring out how to load pictures and invite people and add a background.I had a chance to get into the studio to do a little torch work. I was feeling bad about spending so much time on the computer and since art and creating is what I’d like this to be about for me I was happy to get to work.My aim was to make some beads with high contrast with intense black. I was rolling the base in enamels and dit-dotting and splashing dabs of all of my new colors . I knew that I wanted to give these a matte finish from the outset. Mostly I make that decision later when a bead looks too shiny to me.Then I managed to get out and spend some time cross country skiing with my husband and get the fresh air and exercise I need. It was beautiful and crisp and sunny at Birch Hill. My balance is getting better on the downhills. I’m pretty much a novice and have some cool old wooden Trysl Knuts skis that I bought back in the 70’s.In the middle of all of that I got an order for a local gift shop for my rainbow whorls. They had been looking through the BUY Alaska site and found my profile. Yay!On top of all that I made a Moose spaghetti dinner for some archaeology friends. I tried to make some blueberry sorbet from some frozen berries from last summer that I had traded some of my old winter work coveralls ( from my old heavy equipment operating days)Somehow I ended up with some great blueberry syrup at least to put on ice cream
