Full of Gratitude

© samos 2013

the morning came early for me today and that's okay. i have a lot i want to do and more that needs to get done. but before i start, i'm going to finish my tea and share with you a few things i'm so very grateful for...

1. God, the breathe of life and opportunity he's given me 
2. my amazing family, near and far
3.  a life full of love and happiness with my soul mate
4. my gift to create with my mind and my hands
5. friends. too many to count or name. without them i wouldn't be who i am today.

a couple days ago, i was "collecting" teapots on ETSY for Things I Love. they inspired me to make a couple of my own pots. here they are in the making...

SAMOS in NY

Thalia in Wonderland © samos 2013

Yesterday I received exciting news that my work will be exhibited at the See.Me Gallery and Projections Garden in Long Island City, NY! Actually, I had been accepted a few months ago but wasn't sure of the dates. Looks like the opening will be THIS Saturday! I so wish I could be there to see all the artwork and the people at this amazing event! I am hoping that my husband and I can take a trip out there in the next couple weeks to see the exhibit at the gallery. If you or anyone that you know is going, my work will be projected at 6:52 pm. Give or take 10-15 minutes before or after the given time. 

 The artwork projections will be shown on the 42-story Linc LIC building. The viewing will take place across from Linc LIC, at “The Rockrose Lot” which is also showcasing the sculpture “Parting” through a partnership with Socrates Sculpture Park.

 So, if you see Thalia in Wonderland projected on a tall building on the east coast somewhere, you know who the artist is. 

Wishcasting Wednesday

October is here and I need to do a fall clean up in our yard. My wish for today is that I have the ambition to clean up my back yard, make it into the studio to throw some mugs, and paint!!!

 What is your wish for today?
