bowled over.
i haven’t been in my studio much lately because i’ve been busy working on my BOOK. but i thought i should make just a few things for the holidays and was dying to get my hands dirty. working with clay grounds me, slows me down, and re-sets my buttons. it was so needed.

good dog.
when you break the lid to your dog treat jar, you simply turn it into a UTENSIL holder.
didn’t you need one, anyway ?

rock on.
these rocks are the bane of my existence. the truth is, i have a love/hate relationship with them: i’ve been making them continuously for over 15 years. they take much more work than meets the eye. it is my personal belief that it was the direct cause of my “frozen shoulder.” i have made thousands and THOUSANDS of them. BUT, i love leaving them around the world for people to find. i think the power of a single word can sometimes be more meaningful than an entire sentence. and i’m continually learning new ways to make the process of making them more efficient, even after all of these years and all of these rocks. i liken it to the movie JIRO DREMAS OF SUSHI . . . i am continuing my quest to perfect the art of making a rock (although i will only make them for TWO stores).
this batch of 500 rocks is heading to the ISABELLA STEWART GARDNER MUSEUM.

studio sweet studio . . .
after one month away, it is really nice to be back in my studio. this is definitely my “happy place” where it seems like everything is right with the world and creative possibilities are endless. it is no secret why i spend so much time here. it is my refuge from the world.
