pop!

were to start. i've been busy, distracted, productive, and inspired. oh yay. totally exhausted.
mostly i have been drawing. today i will be making and photographing new dolls. my plan is to make one doll out of each drawing. my dolls have always been one of a kind but multiples. like a print edition but in totally different colours each time. production of any kind can wear on you. it deffinitly wears on me. i've done a lot of it. so anyway, to keep things fresh and exciting for me, i'm making just one. i'll have pictures up soon.
i want to share an ongoing art peice that i participated in. my friend stephan lives in germany and makes really cool stuff. he is doing a peice called breath. he fills a white balloon with his breath and gives it to someone. this someone then takes the breath and releases it. pop! i had the breath for a very long time before i decided what to do with it. here is a photo. enjoy.

something newish

greetings. it has been quite along time. i have been very distracted. there is the garden with pretty things, the fruit trees are ripening, i ate the first of the blackberries. soon there will be pie! we got a new kitty. we rescued him from certain death and are nursing him back to health. i love him. we can not let him inter act with our other two cats. it is a lot of hand washing. he will be in quarantine for 3 more weeks, maybe longer. he lives in the library, and sleeps on my chair.
today i am going to draw up new dolls and sew at least one of them. i've decided to switch gears slightly and make larger dolls. more art and detail oriented.
i love making my production softies. i think i have sewn them so many times that i'm beginning to feel like a robot. it is time to draw out new one's and retire the old ones. it makes me a little sad. such nice little friends they are.

lily pads and paint

I love my new house. every morning when I wake up I'm inspired. I can't keep up with all the ideas that are flooding my brain. the count down for my show has begun. I need to make a check list of the 'get it done now stuff'. as of 20 minutes ago I have completed four large paintings and four small paintings. in fact I should be painting right now. but I wanted to say hello.
this morning when I was outside checking the wogs I discovered four lily pads are in bloom in the fountain. Oh so pretty. I also saw freshly hatched little pollys, so small and translucent. Amazing!
The other day in search for felt for a friend I found my owl bodies. they have been MIA since we moved. I think I will bring some to life later this afternoon. well I'm gonna go eat cookies.

wogs and boxes

it has been a whirlwind the past couple of weeks. we moved into a really great house, i had a great time participating in noise pop'n'shop, and my polywogs have been hatching.
are house is still half full of boxes. most of the important stuff has been found. i can make coffee and get dressed in more then one outfit. what more do you need? i'm mostly obsessed with my wogs. they are so amazing. i made a hatching home for them. i still have eggs that are developing. i feel like a five year old every morning when i check on them. i'll take pictures so you can see.
i started painting saturday when we got back from a field trip to utrehct. i got huge pieces of paper. so shiny, clean, and waiting. i started three new paintings. i'm going to paint all day today. i can't wait. i also got new tubes of fluorescent red, my most favorite colour. oh so happy! i'm gonna go paint.

POP AND SHOP!

O.K. i ment to have this up sooner. this is info on the pop and shop stuff. i'm super excited. There is going to be a lot good stuff, so please come check it out. i've been sewing till my fingers bleed. i made a whole basket of owls and they like to stare, and i like to stare back at them. they are so flip'n cute they kept distracting me from all the other things i was working on. i just wanted to play with them. Moving right along. i will also have a handful of shrinky dink drawings for sale and of course my other dolls that some of you may be familiar with.
I can't wait to see all your smiling faces.

You need to come and visit me there! There will be all sorts of
cool stuff there in addition to my supercute critters and stylish
hairpins. It takes place this coming *Sunday March 2* from Noon - 5pm @
12 Galaxies in San Francisco.

pretty little things

Today i am off to the studio to put finishing touches on my stuff. this sunday is noise pop shop. i have links and pictures that i will post tonite. please check back. i will also post pictures of my owls. i want to keep them but that would be greedy. i'll be taking them with me to 12 galaxies. i better get to work.

when it rains, it pours.

every day for the last i don't know how long, I've been meaning to post on my blog. it has been far to long. i have pictures and stuff. so much stuff and finished projects that i can't keep up. so i have decided to start over. well kind of.
i have an upcoming show in North Carolina in this rad design store. i got into noise pop shop in San Fransisco, i have more ideas then time. I'll get links and updates as they come to me and post them. I'm getting more computer literate. i need to get more computer literate. i mean i really need to. these things take time.
i have a good friend that is going to modify my website so it is easier for me to keep it current. I'm very excited.
oh and we are in the middle of moving. when it rains, it pours. which it has been doing a lot of. for several days now it has been sunny. this makes it very hard not to be outside digging in the dirt.
enough of me rambling. time to get to the studio and make more art.
