The Gallery at Matticks Farm, Butchart Gardens, Sooke Harbour House, Abkhazi Gardens, and Sea Cider on the Penninsula
The birds were finished off on driftwood and unique metal pieces, one with round bar bent around the wood, then photographed. A wethervane style creation is on the bench now, it has to be interesting, whimsical, and have some movement to it, it will continue on in to next week. Starting out I cut some fun shapes, fish, and an arm, and collected parts to get the general shape going with a post that can move freely in the wind. There is always an issue with rust and seizing up unless you have a sealed unit, but sometimes a simple bar running in a tube has less to go wrong with it. Almost summer temperatures make the shop pretty warm in the afternoons but I am not complaining.

Stores: Butchart Gardens, The Sooke Harbour House, Abkhazi Gardens, Sea Cider on the Saanich Peninsula, Last weekend for Dales Gallery on Fisgard
Gallery: The Gallery at Matticks Farm
A tray of both shiny and rusty metal is transformed into beautiful backyard wrens and finches. A huge bright blue dragonfly makes my shop home for a few hours darting here, there, and everywhere, encouraging me to distraction. I caught him once when he was on the fan and I put him out but he kept coming back in over and over again.
A time of harvest and country fairs, peaches were canned, jams and apple sauce was made this week in my kitchen. Still waiting for my tomatoes to ripen...
