junk

i have been on some junking trips lately.  and i have found some good fodder.  some of these things were real bargains, and some i had to pay the price for cool.  the good news is that i am honing in on some ideas for a new series of boxes.  i think (duh) they are going to involve drawers somehow.  i don't know if i will do a box within a box, or just let the drawer be the box on its own.

some great news today.  i went to the curtis arts and humanities center in greenwood village with teresa.  we met with the gallery director there about a show.  turns out that teresa and i will have a dual show in may.  the center was originally a one-room school house back in the day.  there are two rooms on the main floor of the building.  teresa will have one room, and i will have another.  i will be showing assemblage, teresa pottery.  how exciting!!

it's a bit overwhelming, really.  so much to think about.  i know the time will fly, and the next thing i know, it will be may.  so i better start getting the ideas rolling.  and assembled!

instagram

i have wanted to download the instagram app on my iphone for a while, but it seemed like it kept going on the back burner.  i was in the shop today, and decided to finally download and play around with it.  wow.  how cool is this?  

this photo was taken of our window, which is decked out in western glory for littleton's 83rd annual western welcome week.  (it's a community celebration that includes a parade on main street, an arts festival, and other wholesome pleasantries).  anyway, i liked the juxtaposition of the western guy (who is actually johnny west on his wagon) with the reflection of the modern city in the background.  i think i may need to make a few of these!!

anyway, if you have an iphone, it's worth playing around with!!

by the way, festival day is august 20th.  we will be setting up our tent out front and will be selling a bunch of vintage stuff...and i think there just may be some great bargains to be found!
