Welcome to Threads....the blog for PamelaDruhen.com.  I hope you enjoy stopping by occasionally to check on my blogging and my artistic progress.  I will add some images soon. (New work...work in progress...?) 

The technology curve is such a frustrating process for me...but I am learning...slowly.  I hope you will bear with me while I get it figured out!

September has been a busy month.  We just returned from 2 weeks in Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula.  I love the raw beauty of the Alaskan landscape.  In Homer there were glacier views in every direction, sea birds, high peaks, deep valleys...an incredible landscape.  Cooper Landing gave us more of an interior view...lots of wildlife...lots of wilderness...rushing rivers, massive lakes...fishing country.  Bear country.  In between the two we spent 4 days in Halibut Cove, a tiny island community. A quick 30 minutes by water taxi from Homer.  We hiked. We took lots of pictures.  We enjoyed being with each other.  Quality time.
It is hard to get back in the swing of things after being in such a different environment. But back to normal life we must get so...

Last weekend I exhibited 10 pieces in the Memorial Hall Museum in Old Deerfield Village, Massachusetts as part of the Deerfield Craft Fair.  I face the "public" part of being an artist with mixed feelings.  Usually Claude comes with me, and he is a great talker.  He makes it easy for me.  He wasn't able to join me in Deerfield so I was facing the weekend with trepidation.  Even the idea of blogging is a bit scary.  Now that I am on this side of the weekend I can say that it was a positive experience (and it usually is)...though not my favorite.  My favorite part is doing the work.  

I am looking forward to being back in the studio.
