Comfortable with Random

I have a good relationship with Random.  I'm comfortable with it though not always patient with it.  Such was my day in the studio.  Very frustrating first half, making messes, trying this and that, nothing happening, nothing exciting -then a random try at something and...  well, we'll see.  It's playing with light and has me intrigued.  Not sure of it's final form - maybe a mobile.

Too long away

This is my first real day in the studio since...JULY.  Yes, July!  No matter what good and noble causes are out there it is never reason enough to be away so long. 
I popped out to the studio near Christmas looking to repair a belt I was wearing.  I sat at my desk, looked around the room and ached, absolutely ached to be there.  That's when I knew I best quit quibbling and initiate Art-a-Day 2.  I needed it.  

I have a new-to-me Neycraft burn-out kiln I'm going to use for lost wax casting (and numerous other things too.)  Ron Gerton is going to help me get up to speed on the process so I  readied some waxes for our first trial - a few textures and experiments from some scrap sheet wax.  I had to fashion a few tools and refresh myself on some skills.  I thought to take pictures of the entire process but there are far too many steps and plenty enough places one can go to find such things if interested. If you are not familiar with the process, these awkward green and red things will be magically transformed into silver. 

YEA! Blessings to Laura Gable~!

Laura, a much more proficient blogger, walked me through all kinds of options and buttons I hadn't a clue about. She now has administration privileges for this site as well so she can really keep things straight!

I'm so excited and hope to be seeing your blog posts and pictures soon!

Check your email for the new, real, invitation to post.

Welcome to the "Art-a-Day" blog

I am setting this blog up as a way for all participants and followers of the Art a Day project a place to communicate. 

I will be handing over the reins to Bobi Jean, who seems to be ram-rodding this thing and is way more sociable than I. 

If you are participating in the project you will be invited to post to this blog with your thoughts and comments and  add pictures amd videos.
