going to the cottage

this is the view from the Booth cottage in South Hampton - I thought it was funny the past few images are of skies and stillness. I guess our hectic schedule r&r is much needed - if you know me (I will most likely be bringing work to the cottage)-when we return we will be showing you some more new products. Stay well.

cleaning and organizing

it's been a busy week - we've been working on getting orders out particularly the flock mobile. We are both busy with wholesale and consignment orders. I need to work on new sculptural work - there is a possibility that my sculptural work will be at this years S.O.F.A. in Chicago. I will tell you more about it as it develops. I also NEED to work on my piece for the OCAD faculty exhibition at the Ontario Craft Council Gallery in late August entitled "Cirrostratus".

photographs by Tek

I met Tek at the T.O.A.E last weekend. The pieces above are items that we collect or accumulate, which he reframes in a very aesthetic manner. He has many more beautiful works on his stunning website.

I wanted to add some images of the work from this new series. They are all hand embroidered - the sac on the one above is made out of hand spun paper and crocheted. Hope you like them.

highlights from the t.o.a.e

firstly - a big thanks to john and lliam for helping at the show and to everyone that came by and visited and purchased work. I am also happy to mention I received the best fibre award. I wanted to highlight some of my favorite work. It was somewhat overwhelming, since there was around 500 booths and such variety. I felt the chosen works stood out for several reasons - for their artistic approach, choice of materials and execution of work. I talked to several artists and the consensus was that it was a successful show despite the last day was a wet one. Below is an image of my booth.
