l be a place for me to sit and gather signal enough to let me communicate while in the region of the studio notice the detritus propped up outside the building so many things and multiples too one of the challenges of an artist s life stuff i not only need materials for me to do the work but i am usually supplying students with materials as well which results in multiples the blue rolls outside to the right you ask these are swimming pool solar covers in 2002 i bought an entire pool cover and proceeded to cut it up in order to roll felt the 3 here are open to takers i still have 3 more inside i will take a picture later of the huge pile of destash that will need to be gone through and packaged for sale at the northern virginia bead bazaar in november i have taken a second table to pile high with 2 and 3 dollar bags some of the more special destash items will be traveling with me to allegory gallery in ligonier pa where i will be teaching 4 classes in a first weekend long intensive at andrew s relatively new venture we are offering a variety of classes from enameling to tryptych construction and would love to see you there andrew is the king of networking and has been working tirelessly at the promotion for these classes including sponsors who are donating things to the attendees surprises abounding each student will receive swag but only if you enroll the time is swiftly passing with a few more spots in each class let s fill andrews corner of the world with a warm and somewhat boisterous celebration yay to fall to new beginnings to new friendships to sharing what we know and love and fill these classes to the brim andrew is planning for an excursion on the friday before class begins to go to falling water who s game tomorrow brings us to the start of our youngest daughter lily s first day at bennington college i guess that i will just have to settle for a vicarious education lucky girl we wish you great things as you speak no evil whew enough on the words i need to go bruise myself some more i am loving the space in my heart that has opened due to this relentless exercise but i would love to be finished i suspect it would take at least a full month to go through my whole history of belongings maybe one handed in december after hand surgery 2 read more posted by gail crosman moore at 8 07 am no comments friday june 29 2012 almost over without a single post june almost over with it came a whirlwind of experiences and adventures we ushered the month in with preparation and execution of the bead and button show the yearly gathering of all people and things beady i needed to leave prematurely in order to get back to massachusetts and then up to vermont to attend lily s graduation from www putneyschool org what a fabulous day punctuated by mixed feelings from all a bittersweet celebration the closing of 4 years as a giant family and all of the support drama inspiration and encouragement that goes with that these young people filled with hope and promise and a gift the gift so big an invitation to go forth stir it up don t accept what is pre packaged and delivered as truth ask questions think hard and act hugely yes mom has been living vicariously through lily s incredible experience i too am sad for it to be over but so pleased that this has been in lily s foundation in order for me to be able to be in vermont some hoops needed to be jumped through i e what about my booth and inventory and sales help amanda schleede from the fineline www fineline org was there in so many capacities deb bednarek was there as sales help extraordinaire for a good portion of saturday and all day sunday couldn t have done it without you ladies thank you thank you thank you more crazy barn yard stories i had just gotten home from a wedding in pennsylvania was on the stoop in my doorway to the studio and i looked over to see the garder snake coiled up that i often see around the entryway into my studio i am often startled by him i don t like the startle part but i have nothing against snakes so i took a deep breath and settled in to clean my pods i did notice that he didn t use his tongue at all which i thought was unusual but we sat together for 1 2 hour or so when i got up to go inside he slithered off to somewhere two days later i saw him again i thought to myself looks like a totally different color do they change like chameleons and i never knew this an hour passed he didn t move a muscle he was dead no cuts contusions apparent injuries next day some opportunist came along and grabbed our sweet remaining older chicken left only a pile of feathers life on the farmette is never dull my life and contributions towards hybridizing have come in the form of putting bee clothes on scarab an exercise that entertains picture above time until mid july is in the studio i then will go off to teach a couple of classes at the fineline http www fineline org classes gawclasses html 312244020 somehow blogger has made the linking not easy i look forward to my time in illinois at the fineline and time with amanda and then the 9 day sunapee craft show is upon us going from aug 4 12 http www nhcrafts org craftsmens_fair fair_home html and that brings us up to date posted by gail crosman moore at 8 55 am 1 comment monday may 21 2012 lively times here in green acre town baby chicks brought in on mother s day to start a small egg laying batch of new blood we are down to 1 hardy and highly socialized adult chicken so the little ones were in order pictures include a baby snapping turtle cruising our yard a fuzzy picture of lily loving her mr fluffypants whom we took to the animal hospital last night he had a total urinary blockage they will keep him in the hospital sedated on kitty morphine trying to match input with out flow poor sick kitty nature in all of her glory brought a call from a friend saying he had a swarm of bees that had moved into his house from a vent michael took over one of the hive bodies and they nailed it to the house hoping the bees would move into it they moved off instead we had a studio of sweet senior girls sleep over on saturday they were out at a roller derby match what do you call it bria they are forming a mini team trying to get a couple of moves together for an end of year exhibition lily has taken on my moniker murphy slaw glad to have it get some use as i suspect this is one thing i might cross off of my list to not become personally obsessed with the last couple of months has been all consuming several trips out 2 trips to ca both good different northern and southern ca a wonderfully surprising trip to the connecticut coast teaching a workshop with the ct bead society the weather was beautiful surrounded with stone and water on a quaint retreat off of mystic bead and button is nearing zillions of half realized ideas projects and preparation it helps to have some practice and a history to trust that i will be able to pull it together thanks for your lovely comments on my last post my lack of savvy consistently entertains me i realize the beauty of this social media and its ability to reach out i just would rather stay in the studio with my head down apparently reflection is not a strong suit just a desire to occasionally state my case and share some of the goings on around here i hope to see many of you in a couple of weeks i have needed to call upon a couple of amazing friends to cover my booth for some of saturday and sunday the last two days of the bead and button show as i will fly home to attend lily s high school graduation yay good going and a big hurrah to you lils and a big thank you to deb and amanda for letting my mind rest by picking up my slack i was interested to read an article in the february 2012 bead and button magazine about the company a grain of sand and the acquisition of their mother lode of beads and findings i ordered a bunch of great stuff posted by gail crosman moore at 1 55 pm 1 comment sunday march 18 2012 murphy let me be free from your grip a camilla show another funny murphy story i got to albuquerque last tuesday flying from bradley in connecticut going through chicago while on the ground in chicago i witnessed the luggage handler to be harder than usual on the luggage lifting it higher letting it fall harder as he drove his cart away i observed some of the white destination tags left behind pondering this knowing that these particular bags would probably not make it to their destination i felt for their owners landing in new mexico i went to baggage claim to wait an extraordinary amount of time to recoup my bags they both showed up but the backside of my favorite suitcase that i had acquired in japan was destroyed it appeared as if it was dragged behind the plane perforated friction burned abused the southwest baggage office was right there so i took it into them and they readily warmly offered up a brand new case so i transferred my gear and left this just adds to the list of why i love southwest as this is really a tale of suitcases i will skip ahead to the next experience in this new suitcases short life with me my trip s purpose was to get to santa fe to teach 3 classes at beadfest i had completed two of the three classes using the suitcase as storage under a table lifting the lid and sliding things into it to be properly packed at the end of my duty i opened it to add more to the maddness to see that an aerosal can of olive oil had detonated yellow foamy oil filled the insides of this new member of my suitcase arsenal the reason that the valve was vulnerable was the fact that this abusive luggage handlers affects included a broken lid on the can i had thrown it away somedays it is really just a crap shoot whether or not you get out unscathed i realize in the scheme of things this really has no bearing but what it does in my micro view is makes me consider which shoe when will drop you see this isn t just a suitcase tale my first class was a class in fastfire bronzeclay the fast part of this is the important part class was 8 hours from start to finish i got to the convention center in plenty of time to set up and be prepared for the clases beginning at 8 30 only to realize that the clay that i had was the original formula it takes a full 9 hours just to fire this is the stuff that a teachers nightmare are made of i immediately called rio grande with a plea and a question was anyone coming up to santa fe from albuquerque claudia the lovely customer service woman didn t think so but she got my and i went onto putting my plea out to a group of possible prospects for getting the material to me in the shortest time possible students were starting to filter in at this point me trying to be calm and welcoming my decision to proceed with using the original formula seemed to make the most sense figuring that if the fastfire showed up we could switch gears i was so touched people heard my plea all of my feelers came back with solutions from dispatching a husband to go and get it to my friend willing to cut her vacation short to go do the round trip for my sake to the final solution which had a couple of rio employees come and drop it off i sit here on sunday morning reflecting on the chaos and challenges of the weekend and am warmed by the kind willingness of people to set their agendas aside to help a friend in need thank you all for your spirit of generosity it is lovely to not have to do a thing today to bask in the non structure of the aftermath i hope that your sunday is just the way you like it posted by gail crosman moore at 12 50 pm 3 comments wednesday february 22 2012 wednesdays seem to be the day that i have a moment to reflect today i start differently it is usually a 7 am yoga class but not today as i have an early dental appointment and then a meet up with my great sister ellie i am constantly surprised at my willingness to chaosiphy new word my surroundings in the studio from metal fabrication and assembly to enameling to pod preparation throw in a few critical glass beads to complete an idea and you have possibly a mornings scenario yesterday i just had to give plain up as my wonderful grandma used to say and start a declutter operation in my most distractable way i got only so far in making a surface available and i needed to start on the next set of inspirations cycle repeated before i knew it i was buried in layers of material again given my way i just need to give into it and realize my tendencies and love them never having been short of ideas to execute i guess that i must be grateful that the muse is always strolling by my side whispering go for it i am happy to realize that classes are filling my enameling class in santa fe is full with a waitlist this pleases me as i see it as a vote for consumer confidence we need to nutrify ourselves with new ideas and techniques thanks for picking me i will be teaching a borosilicate beadmaking class paired with enamels on metal at bead and button this year that is not full yet posted by gail crosman moore at 7 34 am 3 comments wednesday february 15 2012 so much of what i do is now that follow up often evades me i am in a most excited and fertile time ideas screaming as they stream by my extended trip to tucson and then denver was exceptional i attribute this to many things good friends warmth on my body being surrounded by stimulating materials idea sharing correcting wrong courses with suggestions on ways to move forward and a good show with promise of continued growth visiting with family celebrating birthdays of which my baby celebrated her 21st on the 14th as well as my sister having that same special birthday has made for a celebratory atmosphere as well as trips down memory lane this has always given valentine s day a special meaning and to think that this goes back 21 years is astonishing to me yes time does fly in the past i have added whether or not you are having fun luckily i am surrounded by fun realizing it is a state of mind my mom in the lovely blue silk blouse also celebrated a birthday on the 12th happy birthday i am considering how to guide the course of the next segment of my life it is easier with less challenge and smaller reward to carry on as usual i am ready to break out in attitude and action towards a fuller more enriching series of experiences culminating in a new way of doing business we ll see how this shakes out i ll keep you posted meanwhile just back from a well practiced yoga session i am headed out to the studio to embark on this new plan michael started a fire so i ll just slip into a toasty studio and revel in the privilege of having this shelter and tools and space to realize my ideas i realize the fleeting nature of an empowered state my job is to not let go of my momentum and to be thankful for all moments with hopes of gaining more glimpses at this attitude of gratitude huge thanks go out to my literal family and to the extended family of friends that i am so happy to be a part of pictures include a w...
