For the last year I’ve been making things with polymer clays. I have another website (also poorly neglected) here. I started doing markets around town. It’s slow going during these early times, but I love what I’m doing, and my son helps me out, and you can’t put a price on that. I also have a part-time retail job at an art supplies store that allows me to see people I worked or interacted with during my previous Arts Programmer career with the City of Ottawa on a daily basis. It’s also nice to have so many art supplies within easy reach. I can’t complain about a staff discount, either. I’ve been working there since April 2023.

These guys are all under 4 inches tall.

Ah. The joys of outdoor events.

I’m not doing photography as often as I’d like, but I did go out with a few guys a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t get many keepers. My focus was off.

But I found a few moments that I liked. I do take photos almost every day, mainly with my phone. No pressure.
