A People Day

Had a people day today, a day outside the studio to spend time with friends and perhaps get a new perspective on things.

This morning Candace Knapp came over for coffee and shared with me an exciting music CD she has created — her very first, using her own voice. It was amazing and exhilirating to be the first to get to listen to it. Her intent is for it to be part of an installation of her sculptures some time in the future.

Then on to Michael Murphy Gallery to talk to the staff there and see what’s going on. On the way back home from the gallery, I called Dina Kerik to see if she wanted to do lunch. She thought that was a marvelous idea, so I swung by her place and we went to the Acropolis in Ybor City for a wonderful Greek meal. Afterward we stopped by Clayton Galleries to see the new fiber art solo show of works by Victoria Rivers that opens tonight. Since Dina is a fabulous fiber artist in her own right, I knew she would love that, and so did I!

The show is one of several fiber art events surrounding “Convergence 2008″ in Tampa, a biennial international conference of the Handweavers Guild of America.

Oh yes, and I’m still working on new pieces for the Key West Art Bar.

I hope you had a fun Friday. I did.
