Opening of Etsy Shop

The landscape of memory always contains several prominent peaks, images or instances that especially stand out and can typically be counted on your fingers.  One of mine is watching a Hopi Kachina carver at work on his porch, working outside under broken sunlight and shade with a set of simple tools at a small workbench.  The image is particularly appealing because it combines both leisure and work.  Pure leisure so rapidly become cloying.  I can’t take too much of it.  Yet all work, of course, becomes exhausting.  This carver to me had found exactly the right synthesis of both.

Anyhow, the point of this: after just short of forty years of woodworking larger commissions I have slowed down and am thinking smaller, moving into the field of wooden crafts, which to this point I have pretty much abjured, nose in the air.  Thus the opening of an Etsy shop: FlyingCircusStudios

In time more items will follow.  Thank you to the individuals in both Flagstaff and Tucson who have already purchased some of my pocas cosas.
