Are you on facebook?  Then drop by my facebook fan page to see some of the latest photos.  I haven't gotten the blog posts written yet, so go over there for the sneak peak at the things coming out of Studio Nine these days.

Randy Shenk, Liturgical Artist

I wanted to show another piece from Randy's exhibit Sunday.  This one is a fountain and it is very cool.

The sign to the side reads: "Handwashing. At this station enjoy the ancient ritual of hand washing (cleansing) as you feel the cold water and hear the sound of running water. Or... experience serving by asking a friend if you can wash their hands." This sculpture is located near the door of the sanctuary and people stop there on the way in. A few nice white fluffy towels are provided.

The fountain itself is a pair of hands with the water coming from them and through the fingers to the chunks of marble in the bowl.

I love the way this is such a multi sensory piece. It's a sculpture of metal, but there is the water element that makes it even more tactile, then of course the sound of running water. I works beautifully as liturgical art, designed to enhance the worship experience. I just think it's VERY cool!

I find myself struck on many levels by this kind of work and I'll keep sharing different pieces with you as I get the chance. I'm a fan!

Happy Creating!

Hot in Here?

This time of year I keep the fire going in the basement, (right next to my quilt studio!) seems like I'm feeding the dragon all the time. I keep a fan there to circulate the air.  Or did...

But I think it got toasted. (What was my first clue?)

I guess it was finally dispatched by the breath of the dragon.

RIP Fan

Wishing you warmth for your castle,
