hello all!

well, thanks to gera and my fellow clayamies, i am updating my blog! wow!

however, i just will get around to doing something about the lemonade stand as soon as i can, which isn't right now.

all i am going to do now is post a photo of my latest work, a small sculpture 11 inches tall.

i was invited to participate in a show called 'the black madonna', at the sandra whitton gallery in kingston, ontario, and so -- having recently been to our national gallery in ottawa to see a wonderful exhibit called the viewer as participant, or something very close to that, an interactive exhibit that i loved-- i created this "fallen angel ?" her halo comes off and if a viewer believes she is fallen, then they can put the halo on the base, however if another viewer thinks she is not, they can place the halo back on her head.....so what do you think?

please let me know!!!

A New Year is Upon Us --

Greetings all who happen upon this blog, i have decided to keep this blog at least 99% polymer clay and creative work oriented. As i also have my wicca'd words, i will be doing my personal blogging there.

i am busy preparing for Artemisia's coming year, and find that my picture framing business is really taking off. at the moment i am busy construction an interactive shadowbox frame for a very young friend. i hope she will be able to keep all her favorite things there and change things around to suit herself. she also is a creative soul and has done some fun and wonderful things with model magic and i am going to, i hope, introduce her to the wonderful world of polymer.....

so begins another year... my learning here includes labels and using a site counter on this blog and on my website. www.beekslanestudio.com

there will be more to post in a few days, given i can get myself organized!!!

cheerio,
georgia

ps i now have high speed and no longer use dialup for my internet... so you can now reach me at igeorgiad(at)gmail.com. or georgia(at)beekslanestudio.com
thanks!

MEET LITTLE O !!!!!

for the last week and for one more week, i have been doggie sitting my little friend orlando. he is an adorable little guy who belongs to my friend nina, and will soon belong to her sister steph and move to brighton, england. wow, how about that for a little puppy dog!!!

needless to say, he is a bundle of energy and always on the go so it has been a bit difficult to get any clay work done! however, i have had time to clean the mess that always seems to accumulate around me! i have thrown out so much that i have three or four huge garbage bags ready to go to the dump. and there are boxes ready for a garage sale and then a small amount that i have kept. and believe it or not, i have only done the bedroom and the kitchen!!! and already have taken two large bags of clothes to the church.

i sure hope i can get the shop cleaned out too; i have done half of it but the other half is much worse! oh well.......
