I've been packing art lately rather than making it, since I had two shows this past weekend, and my Open Studio Sale is Dec. 1-2. I'm looking forward to getting back to making art again after this mad rush, but I'm also deeply grateful to the folks who show up to buy local art for holiday presents instead of choosing large manufacturers and mail order. Y'all make it possible for a bunch of us to do what we love and create a little beauty for the world, and I'm so grateful.
