Hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away, and then Christmas is just around the corner!  Our warmer than normal weather has made fall seem very long (a really good thing :) ), and it doesn’t seem late enough for the holidays.  I’m sure the temperatures will get back to normal now and the winter so many of us dread will be upon us.  In the meantime, the local Holiday Sales and Shows are gearing up.  I delivered some glass to KeLe Alpacas on Friday for the show starting there on Nov. 20 (runs through Dec. 5).  Today I took some pieces to The ARTgarage for jurying in to their Holiday Sale event which begins Nov. 18 and runs through Christmas.  The little dichroic candleholder above will be for sale at The ARTgarage and I hope it goes to a good new home.

Algoma has started a monthly event called the Algoma Art Wave.  The second Friday of the month galleries, studios and related businesses will stay open a little later and have some special things going on.  Last night (Nov. 12) was the inaugural evening and it seemed very well attended.  Bren Sibilsky invited me to exhibit some of my work at her studio along with Molly Johnson with some of her paintings.  I felt honored to be in such talented company!  We were all happy with the turn-out and enjoyed having the crew from the Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art show up at the end of the evening.  Check out the website and, if you live close enough, mark your calendars for the upcoming “Waves”.
