Here I go again - another attempt at starting a blog. What is this, number 3? Number 4? Anyway - this should be the last one. Really. I mean it.
So here's the reason I'm starting again. TIME TO TRAVEL! Yes, we are off to Switzerland. We are scheduled to be there for about 90 days. My husband heads out tomorrow - I leave about a week later. I need to finish up the last few days of my job, and then take care of a few more things around the house (dogs, packing, studying German! etc.) We are very excited! Who knew you could pick up and move to another country with 2 weeks' notice? Apparently you can.
What will we be doing in Switzerland? What has caused me to leave a stable job in a very unstable economy? Well - I will be painting! Painting, visiting museums and galleries, and basically being the Den Mother for a group of guys that are going over with my husband for a work assignment. So expect to see lots of photos of potential paintngs, as well as my random photos of things that just entertain me. Now I just need to figure out if we'll have internet in our apartment, or if I'll be hanging out at the local internet cafes. That will obviously determine my blogging frequency.
ART UPDATE!
As I mentioned, I will be focusing on painting over the next few months. But I'm also working on some Bicycle Art. I have a few rough paintings on my Etsy site - but those are just the beginning. I'm actually currently working on a very cool metal embossing technique that I hope to have perfected and listed by the time we get back this summer. First attempts were fun and impressive. I'm also playing around with copper tubing again, and have some high hopes for large format pieces. I even have some relief carvings in clay that are patiently waiting to be fired in the studio. Can't wait to really get started!
Eeee! Its so exciting! We'll actually be on the same continent! I hope you get to stay as long as you both like! :)
