We're BAAAACK

I'm sorry to have been away for so long. Much has happened. One big sad event was the loss of Skootch. I dearly loved my old kitty - he was over 18 years old - and I just couldn't bring myself to write or blog about it. Perhaps at some point I will do a Skootch tribute, which he richly deserves. I went through a lot of changes in my life even before losing the kitty. I still have Louie and Wilbur, and they are wonderful kits. They keep me company AND they keep me on my toes! The best thing to happen in my life has been my exploration of ceramics. About 4 years ago I started taking clay classes and I became addicted to going to the clay studio. I started out by doing lots of cat imagery on my dishes (surprise surprise!), and I have now expanded my imagery to include other animals (coyotes, rabbits, antelope and jaguars) and have expanded my forms to include bowls, sculpture and vases. I now have a ceramics web site, which I will list as a link on this site.I will try to start posting again here as time permits. Louie and Wilbur still have quite a lot to say.

    We were just thinking of you the other day and are glad to see this post! We're so sorry to hear about Skootch--what a terrible loss. :-( Our mom would love to get into ceramics but instead will visit your site and drool in envy.

    I'm so sorry about Skootch. I lost my Sam, who was 17, end of September. Good cats never live long enough (and they're all good cats).

    Aww, Angel Skootch; Rest In Peace.
    I feel fortunate to have silently followed your artwork, and I wish you buckets of success, but it’s not luck; you are talented!
