Fun was had at the Sandhill Winery Artisan Spring Market. Thank you to everyone who came out to see me and to buy stuff. The ladybugs were a hit! And I sold some books too, which was great. What it says in the picture! Sandhill Winery on Richter Street (towards Knox Mountain), Artisan Spring Market, next weekend Sat & Sun. Come out and see all the cool stuff! I treated myself to @thesneakyartist Nishant Jain's book on making (sneaky) art. Picked it up around noon from @opusartsupplies, and had read it cover to cover a few hours later! I don't usually "read" art books (mostly look at them for inspiration), but this one is eminently readable. So encouraging and inspiring! Highly recommend! So I am - taa-daah! - letting out my inner Granny G'nome at the 4 Wands Faerie & Fantasy Fair in Sidney, BC, this weekend. Guess where we're going? I even got the T-shirt - ahead of time at a Value Village in Surrey (score!). It's a new book! Available today! New post on the blog: "Clay Palooza and Imposter Syndrome". On how being asked to be on the discussion panel at #Claypalooza triggered a big case of Imposter Syndrome, and what came of it. #Claypalooza at Vernon Community Arts Centre @vernonarts was awesome! My mug on a mug won second place (by half a point) in the "Handbuild a Mug in 15 Minutes" challenge, and our team, "The Others", won first place (also by half a point) in the "Team-build a Trophy" contest. I got to be on a discussion panel with master potter Bob Kingsmill, which was a huge honour. So much fun, so many good vibes. Pottery People are the best. Happy Day-to-Enjoy-People-You-Love! ♥️
