We have been Bisy Backsons this weekend. Boo was mesmerised by the magical puppet show and the gnome-sized creations in the 'winter wonderland' at the Vancouver Waldorf School's Christmas fair Saturday morning. In the afternoon we headed to some open studios at the Eastside Culture Crawl . Apart from visiting a few galleries it was the first time I'd seen local artists work in Vancouver, and it was pretty much like many open studios I've been to in London, with a few more misty landscapes thrown in (with conditions being as they are I'm finding myself falling in love with the misty vistas arounds us). I'm always interested in seeing work in paint, printmaking and the like that I've made work in, but what we really loved was the handcrafted wooden furniture, like that at Hartwood Creations. Dadda Boo is inspired to get into his wood workshop and get sawing and sanding.
It may be wet, but there is beauty to be found in the dark.
Sunday I finished painting Boo's room and moved her back in (pics to follow), so reclaiming my studio. Its just the beginning of development for each room, I have tons of ideas for making Boo's room magical and my studio inspiring and functional.
Work done, it was time for play. Snow play. Our local ski mountains have opened a month earlier than last year, so we glided up Grouse Mountain in the gondola with Boo padded up in her new snow gear. Dadda Boo started to ease himself back into snowboarding with a few bumps, and Boo just took it all in.
