beatrice is back...



 How apt my first post for 2012... Beatrice Wood the moma of dada... you know as an illustrator she makes a great ceramist. The medium totally changed her style, her original illustrative works from 'dada time' were incredibly light and even tentative but her ceramic work later in life has quite primitive roots and is so 'bold' by comparison.... I love this film production and luckily it's back on the tube for you so catch it while you can, she truly remains an inspiration..

And as for me I'm still chillin.... the sun is out we had our first heatwave for the year, my first and hopefully last migraine on NYE grr.. It really is time to recharge and chill out in the garden and at some point finish the studio clean out.
I played with making some clay stamps in the studio the other day and lucky me did a wee back injury house cleaning that'll 'learn me'... I'm contemplating a weekend in the studio, we'll see tomorrow if I can move more!
Anyhoo I have some thoughts for new work and also some catching up to do finishing pieces from last year and getting lots of inspiration right now so i'm just going to store it for studio moments. And new music for the year...the Gossip, the Kooks, Gotye and just caught Adele live at the Albert Hall video what a laugh :)) getting my studio groove on...

  5. It was a great party. Beato added too much salt to the paneer, but our friend Vivika Heino saved the day by adding sugar, which is a trick with over salted food. Then Beato messed up the pecan pie and it looked like a sauce. Vivika, once again came to the rescue and served the filling over ice cream. Dinner was served on all those luster lead glazed dinnerware of hers and of course Beato, was her usual, charming and flirtatious self. Toshiko Takaezu was also at the dinner. At the time she was doing a workshop at Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca. where Beato lived.
