		<description><![CDATA[Strolling the Pearl (a favorite occupation I hardly ever get to do these days), I spied a big cast glass sculpture in the window and stopped in to see who made it.

"He's from Israel, really talented artist," said the clerk.

"Ahh...and that one?" I pointed to  a big blown dinosaur-like piece, reminiscent of Tagliapietra.

"Celotto, from Italy."

Hmmm. "How about that one?" and I indicated a series of flat, fused (ooops, sorry, Lani) kilnformed panels on the usual powder-coated steel stands.

		<description><![CDATA[Woke in the wee hours Monday night to thunder rumbles and flashes of day-bright light. PDX weathermen had predicted fair weather, so naturally glassland was having one of its rare thunderstorms.

I snuggled down into the covers and purred, listening to rain drumming on the skylight. No way was I sleeping through this, so I after awhile I pulled out Izzy the 'Pad and started figuring out how to respond to some rather odd emails. Finally decided the best way was to simply put them in a post.

The first three are pretty direct (I'm paraphrasing only slightly, mostly to avoid embarrassing anyone):]]></description>

Just asking because in the last two weeks no less than five people have talked to me about creativity as if it&#8217;s a tangible, physical thing. Something that you can run out of. Something that can be stolen. Something you can misplace. Something that you can&#8217;t afford to waste on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Definition of exhausted: Me.

Actually, I'm writing this the day after the Gathering of the Guilds, an artist-owned art fair that I'm told is the largest west of the Mississippi, so you'd think I'd be recovered by now. But this is the 11th year the Oregon Glass Guild participated, and only the second year that *I* shared a booth at the show so, as with last year's show, I ran myself ragged. And found out I still have a LOT to learn.

I am--for those of you who don't follow this blog--a show newbie. What I don't know about being an art/craft fair vendor could fill an encyclopedia. On the off chance that there's someone out there even more clueless about shows, I figured it'd be kinda constructive to discuss the things that went wrong (and right).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I've been dreaming about this at night," Shelby told me excitedly, as we tripped down the stairs to my studio, "This is gonna be soooo coool!"

Right then, the joy part of making glass hit me--whap--right in the head. If you want to renew your own sense of joy and discovery in art (or probably anything else), just teach someone else to love it, too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I blow lightly on the glass wafers, watch them tremble, vibrating the shadowlines. I'm utterly delighted at finding a kinetic dimension to what's been my favorite glass installation for awhile now. And that's both the wonder and problem of this show, but more about that later.

I'm playing with Stacy Lynn Smith's "Selection," which made its "I have arrived" debut last Wednesday night at Bullseye Gallery's inFORM* show. BE Gallery stuff hasn't always been to my taste, but as far as I'm concerned they're batting 1000 lately.

Selection first showed up a couple of years ago in a Bullseye Resource Center show for their employees, took the top prize there, and I remember thinking, "Why the HECK isn't this in the main gallery?" about two seconds after I saw it.]]></description>

Here's a tip: Design your studio for the ENTIRE glass process..which turns out to be a lot more than just the "making" part.

		<description><![CDATA[So I get that modern art is often mostly context. I understood that years ago, when I visited my first modern art museum to find viewers oohing and ahhing over a big plexiglass cube with a man's shirt inside.

The shirt was a nerd-typical white, pressed and folded with a small, round inkstain on the pocket. Next to it was a placard entitled "TGIF," or some such.

In a drawer, this was a shirt going back to the laundry. In a museum case with a title, it was art.

OK. I get that. But sometimes I wonder if artists, gallery owners and curators aren't hiding behind a curtain somewhere, totally plowed on peppermint schnapps and howling, "Can you believe they fell for THAT one?"]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ain't never been a problem that somebody can't turn into an opportunity. The latest is potentially a boon for musicians and videographers, and possibly the next step in a reeeeeally interesting trend in creative digital rights management, by a Portland-based company called Rumblefish.

What's interesting is not necessarily the new service they're proposing, which lets home movie makers legally add popular music to their videos, but its implications for other artists: Would this be a good service for other types of content rights management, too? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once is a lovely, lovely little film.

Yeah, I may be the last human on the planet to see it (it's three years old, after all), but I was thoroughly charmed by both the movie and the music. And I think what charmed me the most was the actionless plot and an unsatisfying ending.

Because isn't that the way it happens in life?]]></description>
