Skilled timber framer Dustin Gaines takes care of the straight line "math" part of my art. Phew!

The hardest part. Seriously. Math + Straight Lines = errrrgh!

Treat? Please?!!!

Nothing like a fresh spring mountain sunrise to clear the cobwebs and tickle the senses.

Donor Dog: The clay for the original is being used by the foundry for little projects here and there. Comical or disturbing?

"Cooking" a steel handmade hinge for the commissioned "Reliquary" sculpture.

Bunny Love - and the last of the edition...

Roosting with Rocky Hawkins - "Sebastion" caught Rocky's eye so I sent the small monoprint home with him.

MOR patron party - Montana style

Post tough-trip therapy

I just love to hear little Jackie giggle when we ski with her!! Sometimes she makes race car engine noises when we zip down the hill.

3 fellas insulated my studio in Montana while I was in Texas installing commissioned sculptures.

Windows!! The studio is coming along...!

Sub zero temps put 4 day halt on progress but clearstory nearly finished yesterday. Wahoo NEW studio!

"Jemima"- free original art gift chosen by today's winner Bethany from Texas! Congrats!

8 days of construction and I can already do the Snoopy Dance on 2nd floor!

Sure is handy having a boyfriend who owns two Terex machines!! We packed up those big o’l logs sculptures today.

Pour the Floor Day (between snow storms) Good fortune and a new studio on the mountain!

Wow!! Not even my home (a cabin) has a REAL foundation. Studio. Studio. Studio!!
