Island Studio Tour

Yes­ter­day was a per­fect sum­mer day on Bain­bridge Island, just right for a stu­dio tour with close friends. Diane and I spent the day tour­ing most of the stu­dios, chat­ting with the artists, and dream­ing about beau­ti­fy­ing our homes with the fine arts and crafts that were on dis­play. We fell in love with a num­ber of the pieces that wood­work­ers and cab­i­net­mak­ers were show­ing, as well as some lovely jew­elry.

The stu­dio set­tings were lovely: nes­tled in shady gar­dens, mossy cot­tages, idio­syn­cratic sculp­ture gar­dens. You could eas­ily visu­al­ize muddy Croc shoes by each doorstep.

This video clip shows the funkier side of Bain­bridge Island:

Sadly, the pho­tos were taken with my smart­phone, and its cam­era was not work­ing prop­erly. Sorry for the fuzzi­ness.
