–here a frame, there a frame
Striking a fine balance within all the many tasks involved with making art is something we are often in pursuit of. (wow, I really have to catch my breath after that sentence…). Recently, we allotted the time for a bit of woodwork again. ***…
–recent tile from Soozee
Soozee here, once again. Tracy and I (using our keen tile-twin-powers…) like to divvy up the workload or shall I say?…activity-load. I am the keeper of the pen (the blog) and she is the keeper of the power tools (wood frames). In doing so,…
–late summer work
We recently filled the kiln with a fresh load of bisque ware (from wet clay to a hard, fired piece that has a high “tink” when you flick it). We quickly followed that up with a glaze-load brimming with new designs, along with some…
–tile twin powers
Tracy and I have often remarked on how many similarities we share. It is part of our schtick to claim our twinhood even though it is not really possible… medically speaking. We figure we can have our little illusions, as long as we function…
–let it rip at cone 6
Recently, when we opened the kiln to this glaze load, we had some unexpected results–not bad or good necessarily…just different. In an electric kiln, it feels like it should be similar results each time but then you have the magical mystery tour of glaze…
–latest work from Soozee
Soozee here… This recent group of tile seems to favor the flora and fauna of the world. I guess I can’t help but be influenced by the stuff I see around me every day–birds, cats, flowers, etc. Except for my oddly-shaped (half-roundish) bluey-greenish hanging…
–framed and ready to hang
The framing business has been booming. Who knew? Making ceramic tile gives us so many options, once again. One could look at it as a one-dimensional art form but we see it as having endless possibilities–not only in the process part (which is incredibly…
–release the hounds
Dogs, dogs, DOGS! We’re pretty fond of dogs around here. As I think I have mentioned in another part of this blog, Tracy and I have walked on about 95% of the streets within the city of Sierra Madre. Before we dive into our…
–donated finished product
Ramona Paloma Studios has donated their newly framed pieces to a fund-raiser for the Sierra Madre Library. These pieces may be seen at: The 41st Wine and Cuisine Tasting and Silent Auction, hosted by the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library. It will be…
–thanks for a great party
Tracy and I had a lovely time at our Belle’s Nest Reception on September 17 in Sierra Madre. We saw lots of old friends and made several new acquaintances as well. It’s nice to know that so many interesting people can be brought together,…
