a very big.... spider

I went looking for my other antique drawers in a closet at the studio yesterday to begin work on them, and when I lifted a tablet sitting on the box they were in I saw fine webbing that I have become familiar with in this new space. I went and got a plastic cup and a thick postcard, a broom, and my dustbuster... preparing for every eventuality.

Luckily, when I opened the drawer that the spider web led into, the REALLY BIG spider was in the bottom of the small antique drawer, and I very gingerly and quickly carried the drawer and the spider outside and across the road to the woods in the rain..... trying to will this spider not to move and scare me enough that I would drop the drawer and him/her.

aaaaaaagggghhhhhhh..... heeebie geebies.... gakkk

Truth-be-told, I am afraid of really big spiders, even after all my time at the zoo - where I learned I am actually allergic to a whole host of invertebrates. I am afraid of really big spiders and still want to do the right thing and release them outside........ and let them live anywhere but inside my studio.

some images from the Washington School of Photography field trip to my studio

The Washington School of Photography brought a class to my studio and gallery for a field trip recently. You can read more about it here, and see my images of the excursion here.


I am starting to get images from the participants and the results are interesting so far - it is fascinating to see how they viewed my space and what caught their collective eye!

well hell.......

must have frozen over...... because I have joined the facebook community with a business and personal page. It became necessary for a new business venture and now I am trying to figure out how to keep everything professional and appropriate without a lot of weird stuff being posted... with a lot of help from friends. Steep learning curve and I don't know the language.... but I would love to have you "like" my business page if you have a moment:) Judith HeartSong Fine Art
