More good times

When I book music at the Port I am privileged to listen to fabulous music! These guys from the coast of Oregon "Floating Glass Balls.com" were a fabulous addition to our musical medley of the summer.
Bluegrass played without a hitch. Woo hoo.

When the wall gets its block party I am hoping we will be able to have some street stomping fund raising right at the wall.

Look for signs and posters for when the Music at the Port of Friday Harbor  shows begin.

The Floating Glass Balls will be here on August 21st.
It is a Saturday ... 4-6pm ...yeah.

Remember what the focus is.

Our lovely town always knows how to celebrate. This photo is looking down Spring Street from Spring Street International School.
Today I will give a brief intro to the Town Council for the idea
of a block party at the wall.

I have great ideas for fund-raising and before spending enormous amounts of time in imagining the how and where ... I will go before the town council to see if they would support this idea. More Later.

Homeschoolers and Family

Grandma came with grandson to work on tiles together.
The studio is such a lively place.
Great work is accomplished, new designs and wonderful ideas are shared. What more can an artist ask for?

Spring Beauty

Spring is here in full glory.

Island living

Back on the island and enjoying the cloudy day.
Been up since early, time for a power nap then?

... back to it.
This photo is from opening of Boating season.
Fun Fun Fun.

Time Travel

Air Port sitting ! Waiting for our flight to Milwaukee to visit me Mum.
Our flight was delayed in Seattle by some random package that was
found near baggage. They had to evacuate the airport. This occurred
after we had boarded consequently we are running Late.
All well that ends well. I can work on my etsy store while I wait.
I love computers! Check out Etsy.com.chinmayo .
 It really is the beginning of my Art getting
exposure,
and I have plenty.
Time to

make room for the new.

Windy Weather/Rock and Roll Ferry

Today on the way back from the mainland,
The ferry was taking water over the bow.
The workers set our cars back, still the whole

 side of the van I was driving was salt sprayed.

Miracles of the kiln

What I love about tiles is the unexpected.
The color of glaze looks nothing like the eventual
colors they turn into. From pastel soft chalk texture
they transform into brilliant shining glass like colors
with depth.
    Keeping the studio working is a gift and
 a continual  challenge. So? Struggling Artist?
 What else is new?
 I'll tell you my shop name : chinmayo on: etsy. com
Yep...
I have a new venue for one and all to visit. The individual
 tile and tiles I do when alone or when teaching  classes
can now be displayed for one and all to see and purchase.
I am amazed at how much inventory I have. I am also
inspired often to try new ideas, or new glaze
 combinations.

I hope you can check it out my great new market! Thanks ... look for chinmayo on : etsy.com
