So many of you have asked over the years, and I am so thrilled to be
able to finally say YES I do offer prints of my work! Magic Pony (the
sister-shop of Narwhal, the gallery who represents me here in Toronto) is now offering
limited edition archival prints of three of my paintings: Vesuvianite,
Dark Crystal, and Amethyst Mountain. You can find them <a href="http://www.magic-pony.com/shop/carly-waito.html/" target="_blank">here</a><a href="http://www.magic-pony.com/shop/carly-waito.html/" target="_blank"> on the Magic Pony site</a>.</div>

The one project I really have my heart set on for our wedding next June, is to do our flowers myself. Few things bring me as much pleasure and shear joy as flowers, and to have an excuse to fully indulge this love (within budgetary limits, of course) is so thrilling. I recently paid a visit to the Toronto's little flower district to get a sense of roughly what would be in season around the time of our wedding next year. I brought home a few bunches of beautiful things (like these unbelievable enormous peach peonies), foraged in my backyard for some extra bits (mostly vines and ferns), and did some playing around to see if I could make my vision come to life. I adore the results, and I can't wait to do the real deal next year! </div>

So, that trip I mentioned in my last post... well, it was to Venice (as anyone who has been
following me on instagram would know). My friend <a href="http://www.gallery.ca/venice/20.htm" target="_blank">Shary Boyle</a> is representing Canada at this year's <a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/art/index.html" target="_blank">Biennale</a>,
and I was invited to help with the installation for a couple of weeks.
My best friend (and <a href="http://coeandwaito.com/" target="_blank">coe&waito</a> partner) Alissa is Shary's
production assistant for the project, so basically it was a chance to
hang out with a couple of my favourite people in one of the most unique
and beautiful cities in the world. Pretty sweet. Here are a bunch of my favourite pics that some of you will have already seen on instagram or facebook.
If you don't already follow me on instagram, the rest of my trip photos
can be seen <a href="http://instagram.com/carlywaito#" target="_blank">here</a>.
As far as the Biennale pavilion goes, it's top secret until it opens
officially at the end of the month, but I'll be sure to post details
about Shary's masterpiece then. I'm so honoured to have been involved in a small way.</div>

Time has been flying lately. I've been doing a lot of drawing and painting, recovering from an inevitable change-of-seasons head cold and keeping an eye out for signs of spring. The winter has seemed particularly relentless this year, but things are slowly starting to sprout in the garden, reassuring me that, yes, summer will eventually come. I finally upgraded to an iPhone and joined <a href="http://instagram.com/carlywaito#" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, where you'll find more frequent activity (such as the above photos) than my very sporadic posting here. Please do follow me there if you're interested!<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm nearly done restoring my portfolio website (finally!), and I'll post a note here when it's back up. Also, I have a very exciting trip coming up in a couple of weeks. More on that soon...CARLY WAITOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08554250544500496455noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408334652981187728.post-92097853926224590952013-02-11T17:31:00.000-05:002013-02-11T17:31:05.969-05:00big love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />I am so thrilled to share the happy news that my guy Andrew and I got engaged this weekend! He surprised me on Friday night when we got home after being out for dinner for my birthday. Well, it wasn't a total surprise, because we'd been talking about it for ages, and in the fall we started the process of having a ring custom-made. It was just a matter of when Andrew would officially pop the question. <br /><br />I'm so happy with the ring, I wanted to share some pictures and give a shout-out to <a href="http://www.meredithrobb.com/" target="_blank">Meredith Robb</a>, the talented jewellery designer who made it for us. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and she took my super-specific criteria and created a ring that is beyond anything I had imagined. I absolutely love it. The gemstone is an indicolite tourmaline that I picked up at a gem and mineral show I attended in September. I love the depth and sparkle of the grey stone, which appears more bluish or greenish depending on the light. I love that the band and setting balance delicacy and softness, with strength and precision. I love that it feels somehow ancient and yet totally modern; iconic but unique.<br />
<br />
And I'm so so so happy to be marrying my love!<br />

It's a snow day, here in Toronto, and I'm sitting at my table by the window working on a drawing, watching the flurries outside. I've been working out some new ideas, and since am not quite ready to share the results yet, I haven't had much to post about lately. I recently started a <a href="http://secretsaffron.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tumblr page</a>, which I initially intended as a secret spot to collect images for inspiration and pleasure, but I think I'm ready to share it now. Especially since it is so quiet over at this little blog. If you're curious about what I've got on my mind, art-wise these days (plus the occasional random obsession), have a <a href="http://secretsaffron.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">peek</a>. Hopefully my ideas and experiments will start to come together soon...

Hello! I'm sorry for my long absence here. I've been keeping busy, trying to dig myself out of a slump. A big part of this process has been finally fixing up my studio space (in our dining room). I'll post before/after photos once it's all finished, but for now here's a peek at what it looks like today, as I spend some quality time with my new microscope(!). As far as the previously mentioned slump goes, things are looking up. I think I may have made a small breakthrough today. I have been finding it really difficult to loosen up and be experimental in my art-making, but to approach it from more of a 'science experiment' angle is opening up some really exciting possibilities.

The second cavern site we visited in Virginia was Endless
Caverns. It was a perfect contrast to the spectacular but super-touristy Luray Caverns. These caverns were off the
beaten path, a bit smaller and less developed. We only had two other
people on our tour, and our tour guide was fantastic - really
knowledgeable and relaxed. It felt more like we were actually exploring a
natural site, rather than being herded through a theme park. <br />
<br />
Our
guide would turn on lights as we went along, and then turn off the
lights in the passages we had just come through. At one point he turned
off all the lights and let us experience the most complete darkness I
have ever felt. We
entered the caverns down through a stairway locked with iron gates in a little
stone building, and exited up a different stairway into the basement of
the main building. The entering and exiting was one of my favourite
parts of the experience. It is just so surreal to feel that transition
from everyday reality to the strange and magical world underground. <br />

This was the real impetus for our trip. I've been pretty obsessed with caverns for a while now, and when I realized that some of the best show caverns in North America are clustered in an area of Virginia only a day's drive from here, we decided to plan our summer camping trip around going there. <br />
<br />
We visited two caverns on our short trip. The first was Luray Caverns; the largest and most popular site in the region. It was kind of a crazy tourist trap, but completely spectacular nonetheless. We were part of a huge tour group (somewhere between 50-100 people?), which made its way through at a pretty reasonable pace, stopping at major features along the way, where a teenager would give us a short canned spiel about that feature. Surprisingly, I didn't feel very rushed or crowded. The caverns are enormous, and once people spread out, we could lag behind at our own pace. I think by the end we had assimilated into the tour group that was after ours. Most of my pictures are pretty blurry, because it was so dark, but I hope some might work for potential art-making purposes. Here are just a few of the hundreds of shots I took.<br />

P.S. Does anyone remember my <a href="http://carlywaito.blogspot.ca/2010/06/i-had-to-have-it.html">cavern plate</a>? That was from Luray! I think this trip may have inspired me to keep building on my vintage cavern souvenir collection (the contemporary souvenirs were absolutely horrid). <br />

Back from an amazing trip to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. This photo was taken from an overlook on Skyline Drive, the road that winds along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, down through the whole length of the park. There are 75 overlooks like this along the 105 mile drive. </div>

I spent most of Sunday working in the garden, taking advantage of the beautiful weather to clean out the flower beds and tackle the painful (so many pricks and scratches - ow!) but immensely satisfying job of trellising the out-of-control climbing fairy rose at the side of the yard. I forgot to take a "before" picture, but it was previously just a big tangled mess hanging off the fence, mostly drooping into the alley, where it was nearly reaching far enough to scratch cars as they drove by. It was charming in its own way, I suppose, but now it is so much better. It has a more substantial presence, and helps to make the yard feel a bit less exposed. I can't wait to see a wall of little poufy pink flowers. The trellis on the right side looks pretty empty, but it is actually covered with clematis vines, which are just barely budding. Hopefully they will thrive now that they are up off the ground. I'll be sure to post another photo later in the summer when everything is blooming!CARLY WAITOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08554250544500496455noreply@blogger.com2
