Marjin Wall and Michael de Forest. Size: 17"x 14" x 13". Marjin turned and assembled the walnut parts using multi-axis techniques. Her inspiration came from looking at a house undergoing demolition and noticing now the remaining sructure creates a kind of eerie sculpture. Michael, inspired by the autumn foliage outside his dining room, painted the sculpture using milk paints.

Bob Rotche, Peter Underwood, Phil Seder. 15" x 6" x 6". Bob: wood body, texture and paint; Peter: wings, tongue and tail; Phil: legs and tail-holder. Bob and Peter were artists that Phil admired at Frogwood 2023. Bob, for the precision of his carving skills and Peter for his zany vision.

This may be one of the more well-traveled creations, having moved from Virginia to Hawaii and then to Oregon.

Materials: Wood, paint, steel, and fabric.

Chayo Wilson and Rose Covert. 19" tall x 16" wide x 8" deep. Rose wove the willow 'sail' first and gave it to Chayo. Chayo was inspired by the shape and worked with beeswax to start weaving colored threads into it. Chayo found a stoneware boat form (made earlier) and it fit the twig creation perfectly as a sail! Chayo journeyed through many ways and items to put in the boat and also several different flanging pieces. The rough crystal hanging from the tip of the sail brought everything together - the light for the journey!

Materials: Ceramic/stoneware, curly willow, iron rack, thread, beeswax, crystal.

Joe Seltzer and Michael Kehs. 6" h x 3" diameter. My friend Joe asked me to  to collab on this piece. As a collab, his turned piece made of ash was a perfect form to use my fire sanding technique. The torching leaves a beautiful texture that follows the grain patern. The application of gilder's paste accents that texture.

Materials: Ash wood, gilder's paste

Note: There is an opening in the top that could be used to hold dried flowers, etc (see detail image).

Harete Tito and Julie Johnson. 19"h x 16" w x 1/2" deep. Harete made the harakeke (NZ flax) paper presented on top and painted the koru (spirals) with her harakeke seed pod dye. For Harete, these koru feel like ripples being sent out into the world - like when a stone is dropped in the water. Beause they spirals flow in and out, they also signify balance for Harete. Julie made the background paper with cotton and abaca and dyed the edges with her walnut bark dye. She pierced a path from one spiral's center to the other ... to literally feel her way between the two koru. For her, this represented a path between the two cultures - in and out, back and forth - balanced.  Julie framed the piece with a variety of willows that she gathered from a riparian area - the willows echoing the ripples of Harete's koru.

Materials: NZ flax, cotton, abaca handmade papers; NZ flax seed pod dye; willow

Arielle Brackett and Rose Covert. 3" x 1.5" x .75". These earrings were inspired by the use of hard and soft materials: the hard metals with the soft baskets. Baskets represent so much including collecting, holding, gathering, containing, etc. Arielle's metal work was inspired by the baskets themselves.

Materials: Waxed linen, bronze, powder coating paint, sterling silver.

Angelita Surmon and Julie Johnson. 12"high x 5.5" wide x 3" deep. Julie handmade the kozo and curly dock leaf stem paper and applied it to her red osier dogwood and waxed linen armature. She made three of these small dancing sculptures and Angelita chose her favorite one to paint. Inspired by her recent visit to the Met Cloisters Garden in New York City, Angelita painted this medievally inspired motif. As she painted, she imagined the small whimsical piece protecting a seedling in a beautifully manicured medieval garden. This delighted Julie!

Materials: Handmade paper, red osier dogwood, waxed linen, acrylic paint

Dale Duvall, Kristy Kun, John Wirth, and Tami Dean. 8"x2"x1". The idea for a knife was Kristy's. Dale agreed to forge a blade. Once the 1080 steel blade was forged and the stabilized white oak handle was attached, Dale provided a piece of turquoise that his father had 'secreted' out of a mine in his lunchbox. Tami was instrumental in inlaying the first piece of stone. John inlaid the second stone and fabricated the leather sheath. This amazing piece was started during Frogwood 2023, but was not complete in time for that auction.

Materials: 1080 steel bar stock, stabilized white oak (old wine cask); turquoise, leather.

Using the inspiration point of this bottomless bowl artists Rose, Chayo and Beth created this dynamic piece that is full of interesting angles and unexpected symmetries.

Jason Greene, Julie Johnson, Marjin Wall, and Ben Smith. 9" w x 11" h x 1" d. Julie and Ben collected mushrooms growing in their yard for several months and Julie made spore prints all over this canvas (see photo with mushroom tops and glasses). Jason worked with the spore-prints-on-canvas as a base to create this composition - highlighting some prints and concealing others, as he worked his artistic magic. Marjin made the frame and painted it with multiple layers of milk paint.

Jerri Bartholomew and Sally Ault. 9.5" l x 4.5" w x 3.5" h. Jerri sent Sally the beautiful cast-glass branch, cast from a real twig. Sally thought it wanted to cradle something, so she selected the madrone burl to turn the bowl because it had just the right amount of natural interest to fit with the branch.

Note: This is an interactive piece - the bowl is simply balanced lightly on the branch.

Deb Curtis and Leslie Crist. 2.25"x 4.5" x 1.25". Adding soft flexible material to a stone intrigued both Crist and Curtis. Melding the materials to create a vessel, while not revealing everything all at once to the viewer added an element of mystery. When one picks this piece up, they realize there is something more substantial than what they first see - its yellow japsper rock bottom adds a surprise feature to a diminutive piece.

Materials: Yellow jasper stone, western red cedar bark, Alaskan yellow cedar bark.

Julie Johnson and Deb Curtis. 6" diameter and 5" high. Julie beat the flax, handmade the paper and dyed it with her handmade cochineal dye. She sent the large piece of finished paper to Deb who designed and stitched the vessel. Deb sent it back to Julie who random-wove the opening closed with waxed linen and snake ribs. The acorn tops hidden inside, along with the dancing waxed linen and ribs on the outside, make a wonderful two-toned rattle sound - certain to charm any snake!

Materials: Handmade flax paper, cochineal dye, waxed linen, snake ribs, acorns.

Neal Fegan, Ben Smith, Barbara Frederiksen-Cross, Ajit Aserappa, Greg Wilbur. 6"x6"x3". In version 2.0, Ollie is presented on a turned black walnut stand made by Ajit. Neal collected Ollie's fleece at Camp Colton. Greg picked up the fleece and brought it to Ben. Ben washed, carded and needle-felted it to sculpt a new Ollie (dyed sheep's wool was used to create the eyes/nose/mouth and inside the ears). Ben hand-carved and painted maple legs and hoofs and mounted him on Ajit's turned walnut base. Barbara sculpted Ollie's fine silver horns using a special silver clay that she kiln-fired and then patinaed to match his coat. This group collaboration is number 2 in the Ollie series; the first was created during Frogwood 2023 with wood horns.

This group collaboration is number 2 in the Ollie series; the first was created during Frogwood 2023 with wood horns.

Deb Curtis and Julie Johnson. 8.5" l x 5.5" t x 4.5" w. Julie eco-printed autumn leaves on Arches watercolor paper using an iron mordant to transfer the leaf colors and prints to the paper. She sent the paper to Deb, who designed and wove the basket using black walnut bark and waxed cotton cord. Deb used Japanese recycled craft paper for the warp on the short sides and the rim band.

Greg Wilbur and Julie Johnson. Size: 7"x 4" x 10".  This is a great example of slow, deliberate art. Julie tied a young willow branch around the rock and left it to grow for a few years. When the willow had pleached (merged with itself and grown into a solid piece) around the rock, she cut it off and gave it to Greg. Greg looked at it for about nine years, then cut it into a balanced stand for a his raised copper piece.

Materials: Pleached willow, barnacled Oregon beach rock, raised copper.

Beth Wilson and Rose Covert. 10"x11"x5". Beth and Rose brought together two solo explorations to this piece. This work combines the organic structure of the willows woven by Rose with the elegant experimental book binding techniques made by Beth, to create a fluid sculptural form. This work embodies mindful repetition and engaging movement around how our thoughts form our experiences and create our outcomes.

Materials: Hand-harvested willow, tracing paper, graphite, copper thread.

Note: This beautiful piece can either hang on the wall or be placed on a surface.

Greg Wilbur, Ajit Aserappa, Ben Smith and Julie Johnson. 9"x 9"x 4". The body of this pitcher was skillfully raised by Greg. After years of contemplating where to take it next, Greg handed it off to Ben and Ajit to see what they would do with it. Ben hand-carved the nature-inspired big leaf maple handle, and burned designs into the wood. He also carved a cherry branch from Ajit to connect the organic piece to the pitcher. (Ajit and Ben attempted many different designs and techniques during the creation of this handle!)

Tom Willing, Ron Gerton and Mike Free. Size: 5" diameter x 16" high. Part whimsy, part contemplation, this piece explores how ideas connect across diverse materials. Mike created the silver ring and Ron cast the frog; this ring and frog twirl freely around the finial. Tom did all the woodworking and air brush painting.

Materials: Maple burl, walnut, sterling silver, acrylic.

Deb Curtis and Leslie Crist. Size: 7.25" x 4.75" x 4.5". One way or another, trying to remain grounded while parrying life's vicissitudes has been a theme in Crist's work for several years. Working with rocks for stability and timelessness, she wanted a collaborator to add organic materials and a sense of immediacy and drama. Enter Deb Curtis - master basket weaver - whose sharp eyes and nimble fingers merged gorgeous colors and textures to the stone base. The contrasting openness of the top and cozy enclosure at the bottom make the piece immenently approachable. Ironically, it's the wobbly rock that creates instability in this piece, while the ordered structure of the weaving helps bring it back to balance.

Note: This sculptural basket rocks ... on the rock! It's very fun to interact with.

John Wirth, Kathleen Krucoff and Julie Johnson. Size: 11"x 7" x 3". Julie made the signature papers with kozo/gampi/cotton and abaca, then sent the sheets to John and Kathleen in Colorado, where all the magic happened! Kathleen created a pierced copper Celtic knot for the box cover - and another one using the ancient technique of chasing and repousse for the box cover. Meanwhile, John employed his fine bookbinding and box-making skills to create this beautifully bound book using the softest goat leather to bind it. He also marbled the brightly-colored endpapers ... and also carved a celtic knot and printed it on some of the signature pages! The wonderfully executed box, with its magnetic closure, is another beautiful piece in its own right.
