I'm back from my trip to Colorado, and what a totally intense trip it was. I left Wednesday in the early afternoon. The kids stayed at home with a totally enthusiastic and lovely Boston University graduate student (thank you, Marianne!) until Daddy came in from work and then Charlie took two days off and stayed…
and I’m off
I made a new needle book for my trip. I have a bit of nervous energy and I felt like I couldn't bring my ratty old needle book from four years ago to Interweave. I needed to spend time making a new one, full of felt flowers! So here we go. I'm about to leave…
a rooster, some preparations and my birthday is coming
This rooster was for sale at Blue Bottle Gallery and Boutique in Seattle and is now back home. Welcome back, rooster! He is up in my Etsy shop. My birthday is on Monday. I will be 34. Although 34 seems old to me, like the mid-30s are here and I'm beginning to find gray hairs, …
Craftsanity Interview and Bird Giveaway!
I've mentioned before that I love craft podcasts. While I sit in my studio and sew by myself I love to listen to inerviews with artists and crafters. They keep me company and inspire and motivate me. So I was totally thrilled when Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood emailed me with an interview request. I have listened…
and now for some big news
Okay, I think today is the day to share some big news. I am writing a book. Oh my gosh! I still have a hard time believing it is really true. But I have a December deadline for the manuscript looming so I know in reality it is totally happening. The book will be about…
Small Bird Collages
I couldn't resist make two of these little bird assemblages for my shop. They are just so satisfying to make. I love tiny things. The chickens have been pretty cool. They seem to really love each other. They snuggle up together on their roost at night and making little cooing sounds. And during the day…
baby birds in a nest
Three baby birds peeking curiously from their nest. I made this last night. It was a good way to use up all those torn strips of fabric leftover from making wings and it was fun to imagine the lives of these little fabric nestlings. It is now up in my shop. The chickens had to…
art for the vending machine
Today I made six 4"x3"x.75" bird assemblages. I used old rolodex folders, some mesh origami paper, thread, wire, cotton fabrics, wool stuffing and embroidery floss. I made these in response to Kim's call for teeny tiny artwork. Kim own Three Graces Gallery in Portsmouth, NH. She recently found an old vending machine that she is…
a new owl today
Talons. Wings. A wise face. A new owl today. I used the fabric left over from making the bumble bee. I love making owls. They are the largest of the birds I am making right now and have just the right amount of detail to sink my teeth into. This new guy is in the…
birds and fresh eggs and a question for you
We went to Natick Organic Farm yesterday afternoon to visit the animals. I love this farm. It is five minutes from Wellesley center and so low key and easy to enjoy. The goats came right up to the fence as we parked the car so the girls ran out to pick dandelion greens from the…
