Artwork Dedication, Dishes and Jello

We had a dedication event yesterday for this incredible mosaic by Kristi Duckworth at White Station Middle School.




Then I gave Kristi some dishes. T and I recently got new dishes, and I found I was too attached to my old ones to put them in the garbage. I think it's because we've had them for the entire 17 years we've lived together, so they symbolize the domesticity we instantly found and have happily maintained for 17 years. Now those few chipped dishes will live for eternity in a mosaic!

Speaking of 17 years of happy domesticity, I came across a Jello version of the building T and I got married in by Liz Hickok.

Art Sunday

Yesterday I went to the open house at the Metal Museum, did a little bit of Christmas shopping, and saw the current show, Contemporary Cast Iron. This is by Michael Bonadio from Birmingham, AL.



Then I went to the P&H Artbazaar, organized by the Full-Smart Dwayne Butcher, and saw some of Lauren Rae Holtermann's Memphis Arts Trading Cards - go take a look - they are all fantastic! Here's the one of me.


It was taken from a picture that Click (Daily) took of me in my studio.
