I sure do love to watch a thunderstorm from my deck! It helps that I am huddled under a nice warm blanket though! Hope it helps with the Alberta wildfires... 🔥

There's been a Murder in the workshop! These 3 are some of the 1/2 finished projects that have been piling up and creating some major clutter in the studio. There are many components to this piece, but it's coming along nicely now that this trio is almost finished!♥️ #wemetwirework #yegwireartist

Thought to bring good luck and prosperity in some cultures, the Red Wing Blackbird is a resilient little warrior! They continue to thrive when many of our other feathered friends' numbers are on the decline. The trill of their song on the prairie is as much a harbinger of spring(to me)as the Robin.

My Kintsugi paperclay bowl is 5.5"x5" (Kintsugi is the belief that some things are even more beautiful for having been broken)
It took a couple of false starts to get the details to where I am satisfied but I think it's quite pretty! ♥️
