World Aids Day

Santa Fe is experiencing some fantastic weather, low grey clouds, high winds, and a lot of rain fall. Just perfect for our high desert needs and our thirsty gardens, we won't have to dig out the hoses for a while.After lunch at Back Street Bistro - mmmm their Friday Matzo Ball Soup, with Charlotte and Joyce we wandered about Canyon Road seeing some of the openings before the crowds arrived. One memorable piece is McCabe by Linda Leslie (a friend) showing at Selby Fleetwood, also at Selby were some Hikaru dorodango - New Mexico Earthen Balls, the artist Bruce Gardner has utilized a methodology of compacting and drawing out the moisture to harden these pieces. They are finished in a very high luster and Charlotte and I both held one in our palms and experienced a vibration like feeling - believe me Charlotte is rarely susceptible to the (woo woo) as she calls it. Thereafter we were off to Santa Fe Clay for their artists show, including Steven Harrison's ox blood glaze birds which are beautiful, we took some time to visit with Geena Fowler and enjoyed looking through her esoteric and humorous clay creations.
