Stone Poem to a Summer Day on Cayuga Lake What You Are Looking For Is Where You Are Looking From print from a sumi-ink painting on glass The studio has been overtaken in recent weeks with the production of stone poems and there are two new beautiful stone assemblages in this show. Fernando is also, for the first time, showing three prints from the sumi-ink glass plates, in a large scale format that really allows the viewer to enter into the details and space of the images. The gallery will also display a portfolio of 60 smaller prints, from the sumi-ink glass plates. Looking through the portfolio is great way to see the scope of this project that Fernando has been working on for over 7 years. The show will be up until August 31. Kim and Fernando

A New Era is Coming, A New Heart Fernando Llosa and Mark Oros will unveil their recent collaboration of Stone Poems and lapidary work this Saturday, October 2, 10-6, at the grand opening of Found in Ithaca. Found is a new business, selling antiques, vintage, and unusual objects, located at 227 Cherry St., in Ithaca. The idea of upcycling, "The practice of taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use and value" From the book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things by William McDonough and Michael Braungart has recently become mainstream and inspiring for those of us who want to go beyond over-production and over-consumption. Fernando poses a challenge in this show to take the concept to another level, with the title, Upcycling Our Very Selves. I'm sure you will enjoy these new pieces. Fernando transforms the natural flow of stone into the fluid movement of humans in nature, with the added beauty of the unusual colors...

Sonora Sunset Jasper Bolo Tie and Belt Buckle Mark Oros has started a website that will feature his lapidary work, as well as stones he has collected. You can see the collaborations he has done with Fernando and other craftspeople. Hashnu Stones It will be interesting to see what new stones Mark finds to show us.

Earth Landing Fernando is showing at Brookton's Market, in Brooktondale, NY, until August 7. We had breakfast there after we hung the show, scrambled eggs on a bagel and blueberry strudel. Delicious! If you need to relax, go to Brookton's Market, it is both a reminder of a slower time in life and a preview of a healthier lifestyle. Brookton's Market

Fernando just sold, Her Heart Is In the Right Place, to a client who already had one of his leaping stone figures. This piece was in the Fine Line Bistro show that we just took down. A big thank-you to all of you who support our work. We can't survive as a small, local business without you.
