After putting the main sewing machine back together, it feels like time to just… mess around. I have a couple big projects looming, but I also worked hard during the beginning of the year to to get a show ready for the local library. Which morphed into another show at Northampton Bicycle, and a third show of work done while sailing last year at Zea Mays Print Studio. I am deeply grateful to have these venues to show my work. I am also grateful for some time off to just experiment.

To that end, I have made a string of dots for Dot’s Market in Northport, ME (just because I love them) and also my mother (because I love her too). My partner said “those are just frivolity on a string!” which is exactly what I was aiming for. I have been experimenting with larger circles in return for gifts from other artists. And I am taking a watercolor painting class to see if I like it (and might get better at it).
