The first day of Spring has arrived and what a beautiful day it was. I have been pretty busy the past few weeks… working in a garden (as well as the Hammac Hostel farm), doing some design work for a yoga studio, and trying to create some fun “Spring” additions to the TreeBed Shop.

Much of what I have made in the past months has been in a spirit of “Spring Cleaning”. Over the years the studio had been collecting many partially finished projects, “test pieces”, and random artifacts. In one case, Chad had carved these neat little clay reliefs, but the glaze had not “popped” as intended… I found them tucked away in the studio, forgotten… and a little dusty. I decided these beautiful pieces needed a second chance, and so they got a glaze touch up, mounted on a piece of “wine wood” and some wire accents as a TreeBed touch. It was actually quite a therapeutic process to bring this old piece to new life. I found acceptance in seeing the unfinished projects around the studio (which I often viewed as my failures) as opportunities… reminders of my own need to be present, and see the work as a progression… a path.

I hope you take a little time to browse through the shop, and perhaps even pick up something for your next special gift to give. Enjoy the beginnings of Spring!

Spring is right around the corner… and so is new growth from TreeBed Design.

Much of the winter has been spent organizing and cleaning the studio, 3 years of being on the road had taken its toll. However, the work flow is becoming clearer and there are new creations coming along. I have been sculpting in clay again, painting, and developing my Intentional Light series. I have also been working to line up some collaboration with other artists… look for more on those projects soon.

Hope you are seeing signs of Spring in your neck of the woods… it will be here soon!

Thanks everyone for your interest (and orders)... I feel like the “quiet/trial” run has gone pretty well. Let me know if you had any problems or suggestions.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season, and be sure to look for continued momentum from TreeBed Design in the new year!

Well… this project has been on the back burners for a long time, but it is time to jump in and see how it goes. Products will added as I produce them, so check back and see what is new!

When I first moved to California I got involved with a multi-dimensional project… most people in Napa know it as THE “Pumpkin Patch”. Billy puts a lot of work into that pumpkin patch and I certainly enjoyed my years being a part of it. In 2008 you can check out the GIANT red truck I painted last year.

If you are in the Bay area and need a pumpkin (and/or perhaps a wine tasting…) go check out the Stanly Lane Pumpkin Patch. Here are some products that were inspired by our time working out “in the patch”.

Getting things organized, and will be adding products soon.
