'tis the season
by gl. at 11:12 pm
busy week!
can i tell you something?
last week i attended the showing of can i tell you something, a short "audio collage" about keeping & telling secrets (my voice opened & closed the film). other secrets were hung on clotheslines like dirty laundry around the room. i really appreciated the people who came to support me, like anna, sven, michaelmas, todd & kristen. todd noticed it was trying to spit snow that night, which made yesterday's snow slightly less shocking, but no less delightful.bridget's holiday craft party
last night i attended bridget's annual holiday craft party, where i made half a dozen tiny snowmen and sven made an awesome, um... chair/robot creature... with arms that were attached to the puppet with magnets! it was our first time working in bridget's studio & it was quite nice -- though it was so fascinating that it was difficult to get down to work! we expected to stay two hours and instead we stayed four. :)

shawn demarest: thirty!
shawn is one of my artist's way clients and she just finished 30 small paintings for the thirty! show on friday at om: 30 artists, 30 pieces each, $30 each. but "before they scatter to the winds," she wanted to invite the other artist's way participants to her studio to see all of them. what a treat! we get over 200 people in the studio each year and i do so like getting a chance to see where some of them live & work. and i lovelovelove supporting artist's way clients!dinnergrrls holiday bazaar
today i also went to the dinnergrrls holiday bazaar where i got to see kristen, bridget (hello, again!) & vicki lind. i bought a collage from bridget (and eventually a pillow), two containers of chutney from mona's mom, and lisa tried to convince me to buy some sex toys. eeep! chrissy has some gorgeous photos, including a great story about opposing sunsets on her trip to las vegas. this event was also a good reason to introduce sven to cubespace, which i think is a fantastic idea and i'd probably use if i was doing more freelance work. :) he went to college with the woman who started it.jill kelly's holiday open house
then we stopped briefly to explore the local cash & carry, where we barely escaped the giant room-sized walk-in freezers -- but walked out with a huge bag of fried onions. armed with such savoury fare, we ended the day at jill's holiday open house, where we were greeted with a warm smile & a large cup of mulled cider. that place was jumping! we were talking the whole time, though we did slip in a bit of time in the office to go through jill's big book of collages.

Glad to see the tiny snowmen; I couldn't make them out in the photo on Bridget's blog. So is that hand crafted sex toys we're talking about here? Hmmm...

shu-ju: um. blush no, dinnergrrls doesn't have much hand-crafted stuff (bridget, linda & kristen excepted).
