I finally got around to calling the Amish yesterday to get more wool stuffing. While I'm waiting for the boxes to arrive (6 lbs. this time!), I thought I'd work on something that didn't need to be stuffed. I'm nearly done now with birds for the show, although I would like to make more crows…
three roosters
Today I finished the third and last rooster for my March show. Here they are all together. That's 12 birds done and at least 4 to go. The whole crew together is starting to look very matching, rather like a cohesive set of something. Because I chose all of the fabrics for the whole show…
red owl and the holidays
I finished the red owl. One more owl to make in this series. The first set of eyes I made for this guy were rejected because the background was too white making him look like he'd spent too much time in a tanning bed with goggles on. Much better now. We had a lovely Hanukkah. …
tall bird with a new type of crest
This is the first in a series of three tall birds for the show. Instead of making a mask, which is the way I've done these birds in the past, I decided to make a new type of crest. Ever since I got Anatomy of Doll (I love Susanna Oroyan's books and I"ve learned to…
new photos
My sister-in-law, Jacquie Hemmerdinger, took some photos of my birds over Thanksgiving. This is one of my favorites, but you can see them all here. Poor Stella has a terrible stomach bug and was up all night throwing up. So much laundry to do today! She is sleeping now and I really hope she…
flying crow
Today I finished a third crow, this one flying with wings down. They are suspended right now from thumbtacks pushed into the drop ceiling in the studio (read our bedroom) so it is a bit hard to photograph them in good light. Here they are together. The standing one is on the ironing board. It…
standing crow
The title of this post sounds like it could be somebody's name. Today I finished the second in the series of crows. The first one is alighting and this one is standing. I'm hoping to set up a formation of crows in various stages of flight, and another formation of white gulls. Bizarre Bazaar was…
roosters and learning to take pictures
I finished the second of my trio of roosters for the show in March. At the same time I made two more white bird ornaments and I will do another post and shop update with them soon. Over Thanksgiving I brought my new camera and an owl, a rooster, and the new peacock to New…
peacock
I have been thinking of making a peacock for a few weeks. I knew it had to be a white peacock because I am just really not in to blues and greens for birds generally, at least not right now. As with creating any new piece there were lots of stops and starts and problems…
owl
While the girls were at school this morning I got a manicure (with no polish), a pedicure and I got my bushy eyebrows waxed. Friday morning I get a haircut. I'm sprucing up the shabby storefront, as Charlie and I like to say, and it does feel good to spend a moment on myself. I…
