Experiment #1: Recycling Plastic
So one of the things that’s been boiling in my mind is trying to recycle plastic from Clear Splash Water bottles. Why? Because i drink a lot of them. Last summer I observed that if you gently heat up the plastic it becomes like a hard glass-like material. I used a hand held gas candle…
Inner Work
I’ve been spending this past week trying to get my mind in the right frame of mind for my residency. I’ve been tying up projects, working on cleaning, meditating, preparing, etc. I’d just go with the flow, but I’d want to have some creative preparation for the week so if I have an idea for…
Biophilia – Activities – Monday
Monday The following day we had our first hike. Before this hike we drove to a chairlift in the same park and got a look at the foliage. This was the first time of that I got lost! The group van had to be taken into Ottawa to be fixed so we couldn’t drive as…
Rediscovering Charm: My First Impressions of the Inn at Woodstock Hills
As I stepped into the foyer of the Inn at Woodstock Hills, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia mingled with anticipation. The Victorian-inspired room exuded a timeless elegance, with its ornate furnishings and intricate details reminiscent of a bygone era, with pink toile curtains and textures as well as paintings that transported…
So-called Angelic Script – light is the inspiration for script fonts?
There is an esoteric side to everything, no doubt. That is why I like this school of thought. Some say script is just the effect of primitive writing. Calligraphy was just a primitive writing style and things developed after the printing press into the print penmanship we know of today. But one must ask, what…

2017 Wrap Up
Every year I like to do a yearly wrap-up of everything I’ve accomplished or did. And in the new year, do a post on my new goals and dreams for the year. January I connected with American Craftsman Galleries, and while they are an official client of mine, the work promised hadn’t really gone anywhere….
Can’t Sleep
Can’t sleep tonight! I’ve been anxious with a few business projects lately. The shanty has come to a close and I made almost $600! Pretty good for a first time… I’ve had roughly 5 transactions a day and learned a lot about my future customers and my work in general. One of the other artists…
First Day at Tearoom
So things went really well at tearoom today. Just a bit heck tick and hopefully on Wednesday it wouldn’t be as stressful. One of the things that surprised me the most was how hard it was to focus on a person and their question for 30 minutes!! Total shock for me about how difficult it…
