Thank You Talbot Street Fans!


Thank you to all the fans who braved the elements and supported the show this weekend!
Now it's back to the studio to work on requests and new pieces.

I'm hoping to get busy using all three!

It's Talbot Street Time!






I almost hate to admit this, but I think I did my first Talbot Street show 30 years ago!!! Back in the 80's we would pack up a load of "Harries" (the whimsical clay creatures that started this whole career) in my Toyota Landcruiser and head to Indianapolis for an often rainy, but always worth-it weekend.
Eleven years ago we fired the last kiln, put away the clay and transformed the workspace into a glass/mosaic studio. While our work has changed, our love of Talbot Street still remains.
We've met thousands of loyal patrons and artists, and always look forward to reconnecting with them at the show. We hope to see you this weekend in Indianapolis at the 55th Annual Talbot Street Art Fair . Look for us in booth #248 (across from the former Heron School). As usual, we have unusual, wild and wacky work!
'Fishing you a great weekend!

Jacaranda Flowers Everywhere

No, this is not Gita with a winter coat. This sweetie belongs to another mosaic artist, Remygem. Her mosaic work is as wonderful as her photos! She says she awakened one morning to find a purple lawn of Jacaranda flowers.

Spring in Bloomington


A picture's worth a thousand words, or blossoms in this case.
They call it Bloomington for a reason......
