Don't you just love summer?

 The weather is so warm and beautiful, the skies are so blue and the sunshine lifts the spirits.  We've been out enjoying all of that and the ability to actually travel locally.  Just up the Kootenay Lake from us is a spot we'd wanted to visit for some time, and this past week we did so. 

The Glass House is a marvel of construction started in the early 1950's utilizing glass embalming fluid bottles (you can guess what occupation that gentleman held, right?).

If you're in our area, I truly recommend the tour...it's truly mind-boggling what can be done with 600,000+ embalming bottles!

On the way home, I talked John into stopping so I could get a photo of my favourite fence - it's nearly as wonky as am I!  Were I able and had the program, I'd be painting that fence white and adding a wide range of polka dots in vibrant colours!

I've had little time in the studio this past week, but did manage to get some more mini books done.  With only three more of the seventeen to go, I'm hopeful I can get them in the mail and on their way to their new owners within the coming week.  Not before time, right?

With the loosening of the Covid restrictions, I'm delighted to have been working with Ruth Bieber for the last couple of weeks, and we are hoping to finish the nineteenth piece this week.  Covid has certainly turned this project into a marathon.  Here's a detail sneak peak of a recent piece.

I'm hoping that wherever you are in the world, you're enjoying the seasons, getting safely out and about, and having the creative time of your life.  Here's to living the dream. 🌞 🍷🌄
