100 degrees and in love - part 1

My dear friends Nikki and John married in Tuscon last month. We called it the meeting of the mythical figures..those friends in your best friends lives who you hear about all the time, but have never met. I think that is my favorite part of weddings, getting to meet the other loved ones of the ones you love. Tuscon with it's 100 degree days and breezy sundress nights was a beautiful setting for such a meeting.

This day was beautiful

Hello. It's spring. I'm back.
These were taken while a room full of people cheered passionately for India to win the world cup cricket tournament. I found inspiration outside in the branches and the approaching spring sunset.

I wish you sunshine and warmth this weekend.

storms

"Don't touch"
"Why"
"Because, this is a giant storm, crossing a terrible river and if you are the wind and blow back you will be lost forever"




...so some times you just let things and storms be



...because they will brew themselves out.



and even when you feel like this, be you big or small



the wind can shift




and leave you with something beautiful.

color

I traveled to Peru (for work) and India (work and family) in the past two months. I felt as if I was given a color transfusion. I am excited to bring that color into my work here, through glaze and yarn, food and photo.

Hello again.

Hi. Welcome to 2011. It's flying. This first picture gives a hint of where I was and the rest tell of where I am now.



I'd like to be here a lot more.










I love this apartment because even on a rainy Amsterdam day I get uplifting light.

So many things to show you from Peru....so many other things screaming for my attention.
More is coming and it is beautiful... worth the wait, I promise.
Wishing you a very joyful this time of year, where ever you are.

home

More of Peru coming very soon.
