It was great to talk to Mr. Burke and see my box displayed so proudly in his office. He was thrilled to show it off and told us it makes a great discussion piece. I particularly like the way he had it displayed-check out the pictures!

My art on display in Attorney's office!
Today I came accross one of my favorite boxes, one that I had neglected to photograph before it sold. What Luck!

4th Friday DeLand Art Walk
This was my first box. I worked on it for over a year and a half. It was a gift for my husband. It has layers and layers of Nostalgia, Affirmations, and Memories. It is his favorite possession. I have since made many boxes as gifts for friends and family. I'll try to get them to post something about their boxes with some pictures.
This Friday was my 4th night in the Alley. I had the pleasure of spending it with one of my children. Sean is 15. We had a great night talking and selling boxes.
Down Town DeLand is a really unique place. It's a College Town--Stetson University is located on Main Street. It is a great place to gather with friends. My favorite shop in Down Town DeLand would have to be The NEST. The NEST sponsors the 4th Friday event it really is a lot of fun.
I've gotten a few orders for custom boxes from contacts I've made on Friday nights. I'll share those projects with you soon. Birthday gifts for two really extraordinary Women.
Happy Memorial Day!

This picture is about ten years old now, seems harder and harder to find a nice picture of myself! I'll update it someday.

Mr. Sun
This is one of my personal favorites. It was a spur of the moment idea, they tend to be my best, and I finished it in about 3 hours. I had some clay in the garage and felt the need to create! This was before I had a slab roller so I created the slab by throwing it at an angle on the (clean) garage floor. Covered a large alluminum bowl with strips of newspaper (to allow movement and avoid cracking), draped the slab over it and this is what came out. I had no preconcieved ideas, my best work seems to come from the creative process, not from big plans.
The piece measures about 2' in diameter
When I sculpt I prefer Cone 6 Raku clay-lots of grog for strength and less shrinkage.
A few appendages have been lost over the years but he has survived all three kids and MANY moves.
