Again, Port Townsend is moved (and actively does something about it! Through art!!!
.
Thanks to Penny and Michael : )
.
…You know Penny…the splendidly magical woman who owns “April Fool and Penny Too”!!!
.
If we open the door by the tall wooden mushrooms ( by whimsical Master Steve
Mangutz ) ~and the also wooden guardian dog…~ What will we find?
The window seems to hold a promise (and many intriguing little bowls!)
And then, the colorful signs…
Ah!…The irresistible windows… (Such intriguing beauty inside…)
SUCH intriguing beauty inside!!!
Failing to resist temptation, the door opens to this warmth…
And, what are those small bowls? You wonder… And you come to find they are HOPE!…An Idea of Michael Barley, ceramist, that Penny, from “April Fool -and Penny Too”; and ~ GreenPod/ Intelligent Environments ~building company- are fully supporting, to favor the Food Bank with a delightfully fun cake-share, Gallery Walk small-bowls-show, and Silent-Auction…
Meet your friends in charity and fun!… Come on March, 5th, from 11 am through 8 pm to ~725 Water Street, Down Town Beautiful PT!!!
Once inside this space, your heart and your eyes rejoice with delightful iron tables, ahead of you; and iron musical instruments (by Master Ray Hammer) dreaming of gardens in bloom…
AND… the small bowls greet you all over!!!
Because families and individuals came to this extraordinary gallery-space, to decorate their own creation: A little bowl for your soup?…Or for that little extra something to eat, you’ll save for tomorrow?
Whole communities, sat down to paint one little bowl at a time, for this special pro Food Bank bowl-event and Silent Auction…
On the 5th of February, all ages, and all avenues of life, conveyed at the Gallery for the fun of “creating art”…
All were welcome -and well tended by Penny, herself!!
And she appreciates them all… And with her own artist eyes has seen some excellent art examples come to ornate these charity-bowls!
Whether a 13 year old artist, or a pro ~ such as Max Grover! ; ) ~ might have created the piece; Penny appreciates them all…
“Mom, may I paint a bowl with you?”, seems to ask this young artist…
Serious artists, and Port Townsend neighbors alike, gathered to contribute to make this ” Food-Bank Decorated Bowls Event and Silent Auction” a success…
And “The Leader” takes the lead in sharing the news with the town!…Yet, YOU, PortTownsender already new it ’cause, “you heard it though the ‘grape-vine’ ”
So, besides coming to enjoy the amazing pieces Penny is showing -and has for sale… (Like this “Zen-Garden” wooden table ~ By Master John Arenskov~
Or this one of a kind room-divider (by Masters .Diane Salguero) Or the Iron-garden-guitar?
Or this other “Zen Garden” table?
Or the “dancing” iron, and the photographs, and extraordinary wood work at her place…
And you will let yourself be tempted by this magnificent “throne” of wood…(By Master Steve Mangutz)
Or by the art for the window…
Or this irresistibly sensual sitting-piece also by Master Scott Jasters..
And by it all: Whether Master Alan Vogel’s, redwood table and the redwood bench…
Or the Indian (by Master Stanley Rill), or the magnificent armoire (by Master Steven Habersetzer!) or a fine piece of furniture by Master Eric Lee : )…or the screen by Abel Dances !…or the joyful table with the bar stools ~in the back~ by Master Micheal Francis…!!
Yet, as if this beauty weren’t enough…
As if it would not suffice with the perfect art of each unique piece here…
Penny personally invites you ~starting at 11 am!!!… to the Cake-Sharing Bowl-Event and Silent Auction of the small decorated bowls on that “Gallery Walk” Saturday, March 5th…AND….
To a delicious “bowl of soup” -Courtesy of “El Sarape” (which in Spanish is actually spelled “Zarape”), “Mystery Bay Catering”, and “Sidonie”!!!…While enjoying loafs of freshly baked bread from” Pane D’Amore” : )…if you choose to come from 5 pm, through 8 pm!!!!
It really doesn’t get much better!!!: Cake, friends and art from 11 am… AND yummy-hot soup from 5 pm through 8pm, while supporting The Food Bank!!!
And if your dreams of contribution and helping your community are like Penny’s “Dream Board”…
Like this magnificent wooden “lectern” by Master .Tim Lawson..Just “open your wings” and “fly in” on March the 5th!!!
Come and check the “checkers”…(as conceived by Walter Dill!)
Come, and caress the wood (with your eyes -as much as with your hands… )
And let the art of Bob Chandler seduce your senses… and follow you home! ; )
“See the light” (with a lamp such as this, by Seth Roland!) ~ enjoy cake and tasty soup in warm company….
Contribute to the Food Bank…AND…Take home some unique beauty along your way!!! (This bamboo table, by Master Seth Roland?)

( Whether for Ü to think of her (or for her to think of Ü)…
Plain “full circle”… : D
You
Who shared
Your
Womb
Just
Out of tender curiosity
To see those
Eyes sparkling
Into your eyes
Transfixed in amazement
It was true
Life could come
Right within you
And Through you
To hold your finger
With its little hand
To see
A haven of shelter
In your smile
To trust
Your love
With
Their
Whole body
And
Life
They declare themselves
Yours
When they are born
They take for granted
You are theirs
As well
All is perfect
In your arms
When you look
And are so smiling
All is more than perfect
At your breast
Sweet with life
Sustaining
Baby
Ah
The joy
Ah
The adventure
And
Baby trusts
And so do you
After all
It’s
Only
A baby
Yet
It
Came through
You
For you
For the sake of you
Blessed mother
Who realizes her blessing
You
Who shared
Your
Womb
Just out of
Tender curiosity
To see those eyes
Sparkling
Into your eyes

Specially with extraordinarily talented Penny’s sense of aesthetics!
Artists of many disciplines have -simultaneously chosen the site to display their marvelous pieces…
Mathematical “poems” in wood…
Caresses of wind and water make wood dance for the artist’s eye?
Look what Penny’s done:
All walls are now very “updated” Victorian “naked brick”…
Wooden floors have grown to their full beautiful capacity, taking your eyes on a priviledged “stroll” from the entry door, all the way back to the so unique Port Townsend Bay’s views!
And here and there gracious whimsical corners…
Joy made beauty for hanging your coat and hat!…
Recycled glass to light your special garden…
or is it your fountain?…
But then, wood also rejoices in the amazing beauty of vines…In this functional small cabinet, designed and created in the Port Townsend School of Woodworking…
Minimalist sculptures take their place…
Splendid ironwork in all it’s asceptions shows here its very best…
Would you want to move into this little cozy corner “with a view”?
Wise, kind, amazing Penny brings her grace to every space…
Magnificent creations all -as is typical for the marvelous “Green Pod Development LLC”
Wit in all…Green-minding the future?…
Self sustainable, green construction to the core is their (very special) specialty…
Now, the lamp turns on to dance! (it seems)…Just floating about in all its splendor…
One way view -or the other- the store (Now Gallery) is totally wonder-full!
The full 2 levels of it!…
In every splendid choice -like this favorite of her: The wooden Raven!
No doubt Penny’s work is our gift.
Her love for what she does, our treasure! : )

When it comes to art and creativity, if Teresa had created “magic” for us at Artisans On Taylor, Anne has brought her own treasure into our heatrs !!!
It’s definitely ONE LOVE – two expressions of it -equally compelling and engaging…
Same space, same charm, different artist!!!
Inviting soft shapes, and orange, green and charcoal to amaze, charm and relax (!)you...
Rachel, a splendid photographic artist herself, is in charge...
Her water abstracts and marine images are a true treat...
Her photographic "eye" is priviledged!

In Port Townsend, Poetry is incessant!
Here, Poetess Marjory reads her ALWAYS fascinating poetry:
Poetess Marjory reading her poetry at "Lehani's Cafe", in Port Townsend...
At the same reading, Poetess Leticia ( “I”…ha-ha-ha! 
) explores “new” forms in her poetry -for sheer “kicks” -and deep enjoyment!- C if it pleases Ü 2!…: )
This morning
A bucketful of night
Spills over
.
And through its stars
I shine my hair
.
And I commune
With that serene
Scented
Darkness
As a nest
.
Yet
When I open
My Moon beams
I see
.
Light on the waters
Running towards me
Irresistibly
While I surrender
To the coolness
Of its touch
.
First
.
And then
It has a way
Of penetrating
The pores
Of my
Spirit
.
And then
Flavors of laughter
And cooing
And light clouds
And running creeks
With their sound
Of deep
Deep purple
and gold
Of the purest kind
.
With their scent of ideal chorus
With their scent
Of sparkling eyes
.
With their temperature
Of rapture
Run me
All inside
To explode me
.
Inside
.
In fire crackers
Of
Birth Giving
To more stars
And planets all
.
And we join hands
And start singing
A song
Of sweetness of grass
.
And wrapped
In the night
For sleeping
I nest in bed
.
Start to dream…
.
