Can’t hardly wait…Medalta is calling…

It’s no secret that I’m dying to get to Medalta in July for a month at their amazing residency facility. I’m barely keeping focused on all the work I need to get finished before I can pack up to go, as I’m so excited. I’ve been storing up ideas for new figurative work to sink my teeth into and I’m looking forward to truly having the time again (sans 2 yr old) to do some crafty arty thinking and producing.

And it’s not helping my impatience to be hearing tidbits here and there through the blog, twitter and facebook sphere from the folks that are there right now in the midst of an amazing residency with the incredible Robin Dupont.

I’m drooling over the pics that the lovely Rose Bauer has been posting on her blog Skiing in the dark. Rose not only makes amazing work (one of my most favorite cereal bowls of all time) but she is a true tease to me this month : ) ….my turn will come…
