Combining Seasons!

And now we've come to that time of year when all the seasons overlap, and we working artists must be creating pieces for the next season. Though I have been making this year's Santas since August! And oddly, I have only been out for driftwood 'hunts' only two times this year!! (This is because of my earlier back problems.) I have been storing up a very adequate driftwood stock, obviously! I still have my eye on a couple of large pieces I saw out there earlier, and you never know what other special shaped piece of wood could be found to make an exceptional Santa!

As of last week, I have been having the roof re-done, and so there's a little change of schedule with that, and the big--huge!!--dumpster sitting in the driveway! And in the midst of one of our rainest days, I discovered the battery on my main car was dead, so I've been grateful to have the little convertable to drive around. It's just that with the top up, I can't see very well, and it's just a sunny day car, usually! I got a battery on the way home from church today, and think Dave's going to find time to install it. I kind of identified with the reading from Job this morning in church.

This space isn't for complaints! So..... the good news is that soon some Christmas open houses will be coming up, beginning Nov.13th at June Wildash's, then, one of several that Betsy is having in Perry, starting on Sat. Nov 21st. I'll have santas at each of those. Plus! SISTER'S at 202 5th Street in Valley Junction has invited some of my santas to be part of their Christmas celebration!
It will be fun to have a Valley Junction presence again, and I hope we'll have to re-stock from time to time!

Of course my driftwood folkart site on trAloola has plenty of santas, and more variety than I'll get to the shows, so take a peak there--on and off. Pieces will leave, and others will be added.

Have some santa painting to do now, so......

till later.........
