Notes and news from the jeweler's bench.
“Hi Peggy, You will be reviewed by Tim McCreight from 2:30-2:45, all time slots are 15 minutes, so please be ready to begin on time and end on time. Thank you and see you soon!” Holy fucking crap! Not only got a spot, but got my first pick of reviewer. “Uncle Tim” wrote my college […]
…not a stranger to it, no. Today was another SUPER AWESOME PRODUCTIVE DAY! Kinda. Chugging right on through a lot of BS. My gods there is a lot of BS to chug. But it’s getting there. (more…)
Lecture: Packed room, headcount of 50 Lots of questions, appropriate ooh, ahs, and applause No major fumbles Crowd lingering over supplemental materials for 45min after the lights came up Verdict: Success Festivities afterwards: Indian takeout Delicious Red Wine Delicious chocolate mousse Foot rub! Boys pass out; Girlies dish over more wine Verdict: Fabulous
I think I mentioned that I have a staggering amount of images and material from my Scotland trip. Trying to make time to go through it and make some sense of them has taken a huge effort – it’s just an intimidating amount of stuff. How much? I tallied it up a few days ago. […]
And now the big news: This is the the postcard for the Seattle Metals Guild’s 2010 lecture series. Not only am I presenting a lecture; they chose my image for the biggest, splashiest, highest profile spot. Squee! (This isn’t a piece I made; it’s a photo I took at the British Museum.) I have to […]

Fiscal planner go! Write something scholarly! Whee entrepreneurship. My brain hurts. Thanks to everyone who reviewed my site and offered comments and encouragement. Updates/corrections are […]
Check it out…. PeggyFoy.com (ie, First draft of site is live. YAY.) Please help me beta-test on different browsers/platforms (I know you will!); there are some areas that are still not complete, but the bulk of it is done. This is a “soft launch” to allow time to bug-fix; I’ll send out an official launch […]
Hello lovelies, Long time no post, I know. Had some fairly crappy times lately. I am comforted at the moment though by the thought that the pile of work sitting behind me — tagged and ready for delivery to a gallery tomorrow — is “worth” quite a fair chunk of change. If it were to […]
The majority of the penguins were sold tonight by silent auction at the Greenwood Collective’s artwalk. My Professor Herringbone was a hit! I’m so delighted! The bidding was fast and furious as 5 different bidders ratcheted the price higher and higher, before a 6th bidder plunked down the “buy-it-now” price (more than twice the previous […]
