Hi all! It’s been far too long since I’ve given an update on things I’m doing… so here’s a start:
I’ve got some of my single goddess tiles for sale a Crone’s Hollow, a local shop here in Salt Lake City.
I’m working with my sister again for this year’s holiday exhibit of the Thorne Miniatures in Chicago.
I’ve got a couple of private commissions going… more info to come there.
All in all, I’ve been super busy. I’ll be trying to get more images and info uploaded!
On Christmas, the Today Show featured a story about the Holiday Miniature exhibit. My sister is wonderful in the interview, and you even get a couple of glimpses at the menorah! Enjoy everybody.

Here’s yet another article on the Miniatures Exhibit. I got word from my sister that the exhibit is getting some special celebrity attention as well. I’ll update more on that later. <g>

Hi all!
I have a table at a boutique tomorrow, Saturday the 23rd, at South Valley Unitarian Universalist Society 6876 South Highland Drive (2000 East)
Salt Lake City, Utah 84121
Click here for directions!
I’ll be selling my tile work, some fused glass, and other work. The boutique starts at 1pm. For more details, check out the SVUUS Facebook page. Can’t wait to see you there!
I thought I’d post up the stories as I catch them. The New York Times interviewed my sister.

So here’s the story on these miniatures… I did these miniatures to go into the holiday exhibit of the Thorne Miniature Rooms Collection at The Art Institute of Chicago. One of the menorahs will be selected and I’m not sure what else from what I’ve sent. These are pictures of all of the items I made to be considered for the exhibit. I am very very honored and excited to have the chance to get my work into such a place as The Art Institute of Chicago, and can’t wait to show you all photos of the pieces in the actual exhibit. A special thanks to my sister, Mican Morgan, for giving me this opportunity. It has been really fun so far.
So, here are some pictures of the menorah I’m working on. I’m working on a second one as well, just in case. Note the scale folks! So far this is challenging and fun. I’m using a low-fire red earthenware clay. It looks very much like terra-cotta but doesn’t contain sand… easier to work with on this scale.
I’m currently working on a miniature earthenware menorah, something I’m very excited about because of what this work is for. The glaze testing is something I’m still working on, but I’m getting very close to the look that I want.
