I’m back to organizing. Setting up a studio/gallery space in the wonderful SoWa Mosaics kept me busy this morning, and I’m looking forward to many more hours of putting things in the right places. And here, on a tiny scale, is some more organization.

There’s nothing I want more right now than just little more time. Five more minutes to get the email written, five more minutes to sweep up the scraps from the floor, five more minutes to rest before the day starts in earnest. April doesn’t seem like it should be the busiest month, but somehow it always is.

I’ve been helping to clean out the studios of two different artist friends who passed away, and handling their materials makes me think about the collection that I’m amassing of gifts that I’ve been given for art. Bits of broken jewelry, glass collected from a beach, beads from friends’ travels, a slate roof tile that slid off a neighbor’s roof… each story makes the object more special, and the stories find their way into each pendant. But in using the materials from friends who aren’t there to explain them, the old stories are lost and I have to make new ones, making their memories my own.
