New wire sketches for The Ramona Open Studios Tour

Some new wire sketches for the Ramona Open Studios Tour http://www.zhibit.org/ramonaart This is a really fun event, 15 Artists open their studios for the weekend. Tickets are $10 with a map and brochure. You travel at your own pace to some Very interesting Art spaces. I will be with Carol Levin, Her studio has incredible views of the local mountains, a stream and lake views. I'll have my fused Glass jewelry and larger glass work as well as the wire sculpture and some new wire earrings.














You have to use some imagination to see them as finished earrings!

EDM #259 and more Cat and Kitten Sketches LOST! Had to repost!!

Flurry, a kitten we got around Christmas on one of her first times outside outside, saw the horses and began stalking them. Had to give a try at capturing the moment..... funny stuff!

Fatcat or Spotessa napping

These two I have done in wire.










Spotessa, Flurry and Zeus sleeping, they have sure grown since I did this drawing!




Sadie didn't want to be left out!

While trying to delete an anonymous post I deleted the whole post!! Thanks to all of you who made such nice comments. I'll try to repost the sketches as soon as I have time!
If anyone knows if it could be recovered let me know! < gave up on the recovery
Here are the sketches and challenge:

Fused Glass Earrings, Copper necklace, Cat Sketches

Fused Dichroic Glass and Silver Earrings
These were made for an artist friend in trade for a beautiful pastel painting she did of our dog Sadie

Copper necklace. I enjoy the forming and hammering, having the joints makes for a better fit. The first one that was one piece had to be fit to each neck.

I've been surprised that the copper necklaces lay flat and are comfortable to wear.

Quick sketches of new cat Spotessa or "Fatcat" She is quite a charactor I plan a little book about her coming to her new home.



Not long after we got her we were given 2 kittens. She didn't like them at first, now she enjoys them and they play.

She REALLY didn't like Sadie when they met, now they are getting along fine!

A Wire Demo!!

Guess what! Linda Doll, painter, digital photographer, graphic artist, instructor and juror of art contests. Can't be the demo artist for the Ramona Art Guild http://www.ramonaartguild.org/ tomorrow so they have asked me to demo WIREWORK!! This should be interesting! Looking back at some of my first wire sculpture , I've found some that would make a cool slideshow:

Art Glass Assosiation of Southerm California's Annual Show

My entry in the " wearable " catagory at the AGASC show click title for more information. I'm late on this announcement, the reception is next Friday Nov. 6th. I sat the show yesterday, as always some great art glass to see! I got a 3rd place for my "wearable" entry pictured below. Show ends Nov. 15th. I went to the Calder jewelry exhibit at the Museaun of Art,Balboa Park, San Diego. People keep comparing my new wire work to Calder"s (Thats very nice!!) its worth the visit. I appreciate the work looking so handmade!
My glass work is always available at Studio 25, Spanish village
