A simple but sweet little pine mobile. I really love how the wire and stem mimic each other. Today is my last solid studio day at Rock Street Artist Residency. This week has flown by. Soaking in every second I can.

More miniature worlds from poking around today.

Tiny caverns as the shoreline heaves and shifts from ice melting.

The mobile I made today. I think it needs one more large rock suspended low from the center. Maybe I can find a good fit tomorrow.
I’m still learning how to create compositions with this technique. Tried working in diagonals with this one.

Prepping some rocks I found on the beach to be soldered. Planning to add these to a mobile… or who knows…

Playing with some of the objects I collected so far during my artist residency with Rock Street.

Day one of my residency with Rock Street Artist Residency. Mostly just getting settled but walked down to say “hello” to the lake and pick up some treasures.

I arrived in Marquette last night. I’ll be spending the week at Rock Street Artist Residency and culminating my stay with a panel discussion and reception for Wave/Length with @rubyhammerhead.bsky.social at the Besse Gallery.
Looking forward to some designated focused time to create in the UP.

Spent a much needed night in the woods. Disconnect to reconnect.

Later this week I’ll be heading to Marquette, MI for a residency at Rock Street Artist Residency. I also have an artist talk and reception with @rubyhammerhead.bsky.social for Wave/Length on display at Besse Gallery at Bay College.

Last year I set a goal to learn how to make stained glass. Later in the year I was able to attend a workshop. For the holidays I made gifts for friends and family as practice. To start this year I made my first piece for myself.

I’m not sure how to approach social media anymore. I haven’t really posted for 3 years. I have things I’ve created that I’d like to share, but all of my work is not cohesive under one “brand.” I work in various media and styles. Should I put it all in one place, or separate into different accounts?
