I have been working like crazy and time is just flying by. It started off a bit difficult. My kids missed several days of school because of colds, and then my kiln broke (I thought I was going to go insane!), and our dryer broke, but... coming out of the storm is a beautiful new day!<br /><br />My dream gallery, The American Folk Art Museum in New York re-ordered work from me, that is a good sign that this could be a lasting relationship.<br /><br />Haven Gallery in Austin, Tx is going to take a fair amount of work from me for the holidays, mostly larger work, and I am really excited about that. Although I haven't been there personally, I hear it is an amazing gallery.<br /><br />And this month Phoenix Gallery in Lawrence asked me to be the featured artist! So, things are going ok.<br /><br />I decided to give up the dryer, hey, it is better for the environment anyway, the kids may now be immune to the swine flu, and my kiln only had a loose wire (thank god!).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2649613749951708754-8521950642539654574?l=ceramicartistamymeya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy Meyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09339251780952438111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649613749951708754.post-240763338435955022009-08-28T08:12:00.000-07:002009-08-28T08:22:15.895-07:00Finally back to my daily walk. The kids are back in school and it feels so great to be back in studio, back to a daily walk, back to a routine!<br /><br />I was walking at Loose Park, but decided to go for a change of scenery. The Nelson Art Gallery's sculpture garden is a pretty good work out and is amazingly beautiful! They have created walls of green and winding paths that are magical. Especially with this drizzly weather we have had this week, it reminds me of Holland.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nelson-atkins.org/art/KCSP/index.cfm">Photos will have to be posted soon.</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nelson-atkins.org/art/KCSP/index.cfm">link</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2649613749951708754-24076333843595502?l=ceramicartistamymeya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy Meyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09339251780952438111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649613749951708754.post-79850055540986798242009-08-08T15:41:00.000-07:002009-08-08T15:49:47.966-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a-v0x4dGjxs/Sn4AkpZ8S5I/AAAAAAAAAFs/CZUpLj4X5XE/s1600-h/chinatown.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 179px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a-v0x4dGjxs/Sn4AkpZ8S5I/AAAAAAAAAFs/CZUpLj4X5XE/s200/chinatown.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367728435462163346" border="0" /></a><br />Just got back from the Buyer's Market in Philadelphia, it was a great show! I love meeting new people, this trip always expands my mind.<br /><br />We had wonderful meals in Chinatown, but our new favorite place to eat was Bellini, an Italian restaurant around 17th and Locust, with homemade pasta. My only disappointment with it was that I couldn't eat it all!<br /><br />Looking forward to getting into studio, but I have two more weeks before the kids start school. So, we are just going to enjoy the end of summer.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2649613749951708754-7985005554098679824?l=ceramicartistamymeya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy Meyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09339251780952438111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649613749951708754.post-24868045633120794952009-07-21T19:20:00.001-07:002009-07-21T19:47:36.047-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a-v0x4dGjxs/SmZ36HIYa9I/AAAAAAAAAFM/8oFe359hCWI/s1600-h/tannager.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a-v0x4dGjxs/SmZ36HIYa9I/AAAAAAAAAFM/8oFe359hCWI/s200/tannager.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361104246661475282" border="0" /></a><br />We went camping in Weston, MO and saw some amazing birds this spring.
