TEN YEARS of dry stone spheres
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KUhZyylLTNA --short video, showcasing 10 years of dry stone spheres. I was asked, “how does one get into this field. Is it possible to pursue as a hobby? Any recommendations?” I started as a laborer by day while working on my arts at night. It’s possible to do manual work all day keeping a small idea notebook in your pocket. When the boss wasn’t looking, I’d quick jot down an idea. Maybe a song, or just a line, or a plot idea for a story. So I learned multiple trades over a decade, and then started my own business (in 2007). Shortly thereafter I and began manifesting my artistic ideas through the medium of stone, using skills developed over a decade working in the trades. #drystone #gardensculpture #landscaping #stoneart #spheres

honorable mention
Did my first juried show last week.
Squiggly Noodle was awarded an honorable mention and I sold a stone bench.
Not too shabby, right? And for a first-timer. Next time, the plan is to sell a larger piece, and walk off with first or second place.
