I unloaded all my art today. So, if you're looking, you can find it at Bluefin Pottery and Hand Creations in Digby, NS, and at MacDonald Museum gallery, Middleton, NS. Now I've got to get crack-a-lackin on some new stuff... boy, are my walls bare!
I finished this garden rock today for my sister. I freehanded for the first time, which was fun, since the celtic stuff is planned so meticulously. The rock has a bloom for each of her three children, and a bud for the little one on his way. This stone is my largest yet: about 18"x12".
I've been tagged by Jeanette Jobson at Illustrated Life. So now I'm supposed to dish on seven things most people don't know about me, then tag seven other bloggers.
Here goes:
1. I am a closet Coronation Street fan. Besides the Sopranos, it's the only TV I really watch. (oh, and I will be devastated when the Sopranos ends in three more episodes).
2. Odd jobs I have done: I have worked as a telemarketer hawking newspaper subscriptions. That lasted two weeks. I have also filled bait for my lobster fisherman husband: this involves squishing handfuls of slightly rotten, salt-pickled herring into mesh bags. And, I worked in a fish plant the summer before I went to college, where I pulled egg sacks from slit female herring bellies to box and send to Asia. Yum.
3.I hate feet. I don't like to show mine, and I don't enjoy the sight of other's. And don't get me started on Crocs!
4. I was a stand-in for Jennifer Jason Leigh during filming for Delores Claiborne. They shot some exterior scenes here, mainly on the ferry from Freeport to Brier Island. There's one scene where the ferry is pulling away from the ferry slip with JJL's character standing on the deck, while Christopher Plummer's character is glaring down from the wharf at her. When her back is turned... that's me! The best part of the experience was meeting Kathy Bates, who I adore (especially after Six Feet Under, which was the best TV show ever, by the way).
5. I graduated high school in a class of 13. Yes 13. The school I attended from Primary to Grade 12 had about 150 students total at the time of my graduation.
6. I swear too much. Only people who know me IRL know that. The really horrible part of that is when your three year old drops an f-bomb. Oh, heavens.
7. My biggest pet peeve is poor spelling and improper use of punctuation. You know, when people use apostrophe's for plural's. Aaargh.
Now I have to go find seven people to tag!
