Not to worry, I have no plans to use this for 30-40 years! Completed this in a workshop on Sunday. I made it from clay, fired it in a kiln, and then painted it with acrylic paint. I plan to put my directives in it, so that my loved ones know what to do when I die. You can see my friend's urns here, on Kat's blog. She created and led the workshop.
You are all invited to a reception and to see my artwork! I'll be debuting my Pomegranate Series (3 Leaves is one of them) and my Organza Shroud series, and I'll have other artwork too.
Here's one of my painted quilts. This lesson is going to be included in my joggles.com online Art Quilt Exploration class.
Registration for my online Art Quilt Exploration is on Joggles.com now. The 6 week class starts October 4th.
There's an exhibit at the Escondido Children's Museum called "Discovering Nature's Alphabet." I met the photographers today and got inspired to try it myself!
Husb and I camped overnight at San Onofre State Beach, San Mateo campgrounds, in Southern San Clemente. This tree was in our campsite.
It's really warm inland San Diego, so the temperature at the beach was perfect. I love the San Clemente Pier area because there's so much going on. Surfers, swimmers, people fishing off the pier, food options. Plenty of walking either the beach or the pier. Gorgeous spot!
San Mateo Campground was 1-1/2 mile hike to the beach (and coincidently, 1-1/2 miles return hike) and we walked on the beach, AND I did yoga that morning. phew. Our reward was 1/2 price cocktails overlooking the Pacific Ocean at San Clemente Beach!
My sketchbook in the foreground and husb sketching at our campsite right after breakfast.
One of four finished pieces in the pomegranate series I started in Traci Bautista's workshop in July. I'll have them framed and up on my website for sale soon.
I mentioned Husb and I scoped out the location for 'A day in the Park: Yoga & Art" and here he is sketching.
Another gem added to the fruitsticker group Also included in this are a couple of my hand-carved stamps.
Ileen and I are teaching a workshop entitled "A Day in the Park: Yoga & Art" on September 1 in San Diego, so I went to the park for a test-run. (Email me if you're interested in signing up for the class!)Oh and check out yours truly on RB Yoga Studio!

Check this out Pinwheels for Peace and make some pinwheels to display on 9-21-07, which is International Day of Peace.
Geez, I look like a bird watcher..not that there's anything wrong with bird watchers! Anyway, I finished utility boxes 2 & 3 today, in SE San Diego.
A fellow from the neighborhood wanted his daughters to experience painting a utility box, and encourage them to volunteer in the 'hood and take pride in it. So, of course, I gave the brushes and didn't even charge them. ha ha.
gosh, I feel like I haven't been keeping up my sketchbook. It's not like I haven't been making art; but I do feel bad for not keeping up my journal practice. I did some sketchbook paintings at our last san diego sketchcrawl, but frankly, they were too ugly to post!
I worked from 9am to 3pm on these today. Going back on Wednesday, then I'll be DONE with this phase of my career for a while! It's hard work!
2091 Greenwood Ave, San Carlos, California 94070. I ordered this photograph from the San Carlos Museum! (the photo was taken in 1946, of course decades before I was born....) I lived in this house until I was about 13 years old. I remember so many of the details... The house is still there, last time I checked.
