Making a Trefoil I love making the trefoil sculptures. But, they require every ounce of my creativity, skill and concentration!!! The moment when I carve out the final struts holding the trefoil in place is breathtaking. Suddenly this sculpture that I have given birth to is almost floating in space. I always feel as if I have created something truly unique and magical. If I am feeling up to it, I usually make one trefoil a year. Typically these pieces are only available by commission and they require a 14-16 month advance notice to fit in around my shows. When the theme for this year's show came up, I really wanted to make several trefoils. But, I had to consider the impact on me physically. Making these pieces for "The Year Of The Mobius" is a true challenge. Sometimes I wonder how many more I have left in me to make!!!

Do you ever feel like your juggling time? This has to happen 10 steps before this can happen. That has to be ordered 6-8 weeks ahead of ARTrails. Pieces need to go to the craters today to be ready for the Santa Fe shipment next week. This special commission requires research of a certain stone. What is the time frame for that quarry to ship it to my studio? If a piece is being shipped to Argentina, how long will that take?
Ah, the business of art. Alyson B. Stanfield, Art Biz Coach, has a book out called "I'd Rather Be In The Studio". That's true! But having an art business is just like any other kind of business. It takes "Juggling Time" or rather, time management, to make it all happen. After 30 years of dedicating my life to creating sculpture, I've also created a balance between life, my business and my studio. Life is good!
Shown above is CATENA B in the 3 new "Gem" patina colors of Jade, Sapphire & Ruby. There is only one piece left in the Jade Edition of 25. You can see a video of CATENA B at: http://www.tbarny.com or go directly to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=126ijPR6YyU&feature=player_embedded#!
