Greetings,
It's time to gather together a few
things from the pile of thoughts in my head, and
wish you all a happy holiday season. May we
all look forward to the challenges and opportunities
of 2008 with imagination, hope and confidence!
I was reminded the other day that
we do think things into existence. As artists,
that's easy to understand as we take unrelated items
and turn them into something new. But I
believe that the concept is true for events as well.
This time of year, as I celebrate 10 years of living
the dream that is my Center for Creative Arts, I can
testify that what we imagine, can, indeed, come
true.
Pictured are a few of the things
that I have been working on this month. If
you're in the Minneapolis area, stop in to see my
artwork at
Fireroast Mountain Cafe:
I hung a few of my favorites from
my personal collection as well as some new pieces.
It was fun! Lots more ideas in my head, but
lots of other things to do as well, including the
sculpting of 10 new pieces for the Abbey Press line.
More on that very soon ........
Best wishes to you all!

January 4, 2007
Greetings ... and wishing
you a wealth of new learning and discovery in 2007.
New Year's Day is my favorite holiday, as I love
looking back, contemplating, recording memories,
planning and gearing up for new ideas and events.
This year our new year's celebration took an
unexpected turn as we spent it beginning the cleanup
of smoke damage at our daughter's apartment.
You never expect to come back from the Christmas
holiday to find your apartment building damaged by
fire.
The lesson learned is to be sure and have insurance
policies up to date. Hmmmmmmmmm ... I'm taking
photos at the Creative Center today so that I have a
record of how things look at the beginning of 2007. |

NEW CLASS
SCHEDULE
Check out our new classes which begin on
January 12 with a weekend Alter Ego Retreat.
Polymer clay classes by Maureen Carlson.
If there is something new that you would like to learn, let
me know, and I'll see what we can do to accommodate your
wishes.
For those of you from the east coast, I will
be in Maryland at the end of February. Maybe
I'll see you there? The details are in our class list.
POLYMER CLAY LINKS
If you get most of your learning on-line, go
to Cynthia Tinapple's blog at polymerclaydaily.com.
Polymer Clay Daily. It's a fantastic site with
something new every day. She's always searching for
new info, so send her your favorite polymer clay links.
I'm off to
work on some class samples .... see you all soon, if only in our
imaginations!
Keep
dreamin'.
Maureen
