i've decided i need to learn a little more academic things about what i do, instead of just concentrating on how i feel about what i do. so i ordered a couple of books, which by the way were not cheap, much to my surprise. learning is expensive, eh? anyway, at 1st glance they look very heady. who knew that my work could be intellectual in its base nature? i guess i'll see if i still think that is so after i read these 2 books.
i want to bring hoss haley to your attention. hoss was a penland resident artist when i 1st took a jewelry and enameling class there back in 1992. he currently lives in asheville with his most wonderful wife, leslie, & new son, James. he is a super nice, down to earth guy, and his work is just incredible. i love how he makes the metal look like it was easy to work with. the forms and shapes he makes are accessible to the mind and pleasing to look at. when a person sees hoss's work, they wish they had a super cool house to put it in, as well as the money to buy it.
off for a busy weekend. more on that later.
hope everyone has a deligthful friday and weekend! back atcha soon.

Jo: your new line is GREAT!! I love it. But then I'm biased. Written from Caddo Mills Texas KOA we rode thru a rain storm from Little Rock Ark to almost Caddo. Then it, miraculously cleared up. But, At the exit to the campground, I blew a rrtire on the camper. Fortunately, I had a spare and we limped into the campground, setup and changed to the spare. ONward to Kerrville tomorrow. Love Dad.
