Actually the mural we put together a year ago this summer has been installed for quite a while, but it took a friend visiting to finally get a picture of it for us. It was fired in the spring firing of East Creek Anagama, here on our property. All the color comes from the wood ash of the firing which creates its own glazes.
Beyond that, I finished my book on Transfers and Transparencies and should have copy #1 next week to do a final proof before ordering lots of copies. They'll be available from me or at Art and Soul or from blurb.com. I'll post when it is ready.
Fall's cooler, damper, shorter days are upon us (even though it isn't fall) and it has put me in housecleaning mode, wood stove mode, and getting ready for fall workshops mode. The calendar is filling and I can see Xmas here before I realize what hit me.
Oh, and a new granddaughter is due on Halloween, so that is an extra-special fall thing to look forward to.
There is always that bittersweet quality when the weather starts to change. I love the weather, but there is the reality that a rainy winter lies ahead, with short, dark days. If I stay as busy this winter as I have the rest of the year, I'm not sure I'll notice.

Hi Diane-
You look healthy and vibrant in your photo of The Wall, and it is good to see. The Wall is quite spectacular. Maybe some closeups of the fabulous texture would make great paper? I am looking forward to your book on Transparencies and Transfers, so put me down for a copy!
Oh, hi Jackie. So good to hear from you! That's a great idea about closeups of the wall for background paper.
I hope all is well in your life, and that the fulfillment we both found at this stage of life continues for you. I feel so fortunate to have found Nils and to have time to do my art full-time (and garden and do yoga and write).
I visit your blog periodically and love seeing what you are up to.
Hugs to you!
Diane
