Between the Lines

I know, it’s been quite a while. I’ve done several new things in that time but for some reason the ‘tassel’ sticks I just made are what’s getting me to post.  I have lots of other new ideas, the likes of which I’ve never seen anywhere else (I generally never see my ideas anywhere else, […]

New site!

Hey guys!  The Far Grove now has a Deviant Art page!  I’ve been a Deviant Art member for three years, but TheFarGrove only joined up a week ago…and already the FG gallery has 18 submissions.  It’s great to see my work all on one page like that…it reminds me of how many new things I’ve […]

New Stuff for 2009

I haven’t written in four months.  Wow.  But then, that’s about how long I’ve been UTTERLY SICK of hairsticks.
I clearly need to diversify.  I’m investing in half a dozen books, all on different techniques, and plan to make a piece in each, even if I don’t immediately fall for it…I need to think of new […]

I’m SORTA feelin’ groovy!

In news that is not fun: my health is still causing a lot of trouble right now.  But I have fun news as well!  My supply order was made…and arrived sooner than expected!  Not only that…I made my new work area!  To do this I had to:

Move my piano.
Buy 3 bookshelves
Assemble the shelves
Buy a melamine […]

Stop with the cute!

Well, I did actually do a set of floaters and I even tried a black and white clippie…but they’re not turning out as I’d like.  I think I’m going to have to go with something a bit more unconventional.  It’s VERY hard to make a clippie look anything but ‘cute’, and floaters mostly fit in […]

Since Etsy seems to be down…

For the first time in a while I felt a bit excited about something I was going to list on Etsy…and Etsy has been down for the last five hours. I can’t get it to load at ALL, let alone log on.  So I’m going to have to forgo listing today unless it comes back […]

Mini update

I am currently re-photographing sticks and altering some sticks that I don’t like enough to put up for sale ‘as is’, so I have nothing new to show.  My health is moderate-low at the moment but I’m still getting a few things done, and my tulips this year are wonderful.  I encourage everyone out there […]

Sentiment

I am the kind of person who would LIKE to be sentimental…but just can’t manage it.  It seems so unfeminine, to be almost utterly lacking in sentimentality.  I don’t look at old photos with any sense of warm-fuzziness, I don’t look upon gifts as talismans or signs of love (though I do remember who gave […]

Apple Blossom

I was intending to clean up today, particularly because it is too windy to go biking.  (It’s not a great replacement but it’s important to get SOME physical activity even on cold, windy days.)  So I took half of a half-strength (regular ones are 200mg but mine are only 100mg) caffeine pill.  (I have a […]

Unusual shapes and colours

I’m definitely coming to the realization that I simply cannot post to TFG’s blog 4 or 5 times a week, every week.  I think it’s better to post when you actually have something you want to say/share than to force yourself to think of something daily.  So I promise I’ll definitely post at least once […]
