Your invited, join the fun

Night, Boston

We went to a fun wine tasting at Les Zygomates last night and then had a tasty French dinner at the restaurant. I took a few shots going back to the train. It was a pretty night

Shrivel, Time Passing

The night before Halloween we had our annual pumpkin carving party. We all carve and then put the creations on my deck. Candles are placed inside and flame lights up these newly carved, scary, silly or funny pumpkins. About two weeks have gone by now, the pumpkins are destined for the compost pile. They have been shrinking for about a week now. The scary have turned comical or just a little bit sad.

Inspiration, Berenice Abbott

The photographer, Berenice Abbott is one of my inspirations. Berenice Abbott was an American photographer known for her photographs of changing urban landscape of New York City in the 1930's. In her photographs, you can see her close attention to detail of these urban landscapes. The photographs capture the sights of everyday life in a lively, changing, vibrant city.

Before

Members of Boston Handmade, including myself, all meet at our holiday space in Downtown Crossing in Boston yesterday. We put down carpet, cleaned the windows, vacuumed, clean-up, the temporary store space. This is the same space we had last year. The walls were in good shape and the clean up went pretty smoothly. It was also, fun to hang out with my fellow artists, Betsy, Nancy, Rebecca, Bexx, and Amy. We also had help from Bexx's boyfriend Nick, who was handy with the lighting.

Stay tuned for work in progress and after photos
