Sound is essential for appreciating elephant seals

Good morning otter

I’m attending a wedding in the Bay Area this week, and it didn’t make sense to drive back home between that and my art show in Oregon. So I’m taking the slow drive up the coast, stopping at every tide pool I can find on the west edge of the country. Today I inspected small rocks for an hour.

A rock encased in black cord netting and hanging from braided cord.

Exploring some new things in this show. I had to learn to make netting. For rocks.

Should be on view for a month!

It is!

Shop update tomorrow at noon! I couldn't stop making tree vessels with frogs (and a cicada) on them. Plus one fossil mug that was supposed to be in the last update, but dawdled a little at the kiln. leslielevings.bigcartel.com

I’m glad you like my cicada buddy!!

That siren you hear in the background might be my thoughts about the world made audible. Hard to say.

Pieces back from the kiln today. Waiting on one more, then I’ll put them in the shop.

Thankee!

Plus other things I'm always delighted to see clinging to trees

Thank you!
