Rain and Light...


Its raining, its pouring....seems to be the theme all over the place at the moment...I watch in awe as I see what havoc water can play...but in some ways I love this weather, cozied up in the studio and filled with ideas, finishing projects which sat in my head all summer...

I finally finished up a long anticipated sculpture of the Bremen town musicians and was able to have a few minutes of dry weather to take some photos for my etsy shop...It was great fun to watch the characters come to life and to revisit the Brothers Grimm fable...sometimes things pop into my head from long ago and give me that surprised, giggly feeling to bring it back to the present...
So today it became very dark in the midst of day and I took my camera for a brief walk around the house to capture a bit of light...




It is no wonder that we celebrate with candles and lights at this time of year for it's when we most need it...keep your fingers and minds busy...create, reflect, keep warm and dry...
