Gettin' Stuff Done!

I'm excited to announce that the two pieces above have just been accepted into the "Illinois State Fair Professional Art Exhibition!" These two piece have been dubbed with the titles of "Obesity Jar" and "Obesity Jug."
"Bruce Grimes, professor and raku artist at Cedarville University, in Cedarville, Ohio. He has
juried many professional shows in Ohio, and Texas when he lived there. Work is to hang in the exhibition August 14- 23, 2009 at the Artisan Building on the fairgrounds."

The above piece and the group shot below were a collaboration with local florists "Blossom Boys." I worked with Ryan and Steve just last April as they produced the floral arrangements in my vases for the "Steak Night" event we held. The center pieces that night were beautiful and a big hit, as we raffled one off and sold the others.

These pieces are now for sale at their shop in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago.
