work in progress
Here is my desk right now. I didn’t even clean up for you – just snapped a picture as it is at this moment. You can see the third, and last for now, cube zoo lion in need of a mouth and two more legs. Thank you, Fiona for the idea of posting works in…
Square Lion #2 – Black and Green
I finished the second lion in the cube zoo series. I wanted to do one in black and green. His sides are black wool felt and grey wool, his face is a heavy flannel backed with interfacing so it wouldn’t tear, and his mane is made up of all sorts of green and white cotton…
all arms and legs
Okay, I’ve reworked the legs on my square lion (thanks, Charlie, for pushing me to try again) and I’m much happier with them. They are sturdier and I think they add more character to the overall animal. Here’s the pile of arms and legs that didn’t work and here is a front and side view…
Square Lion
I’m working a few new pieces in preparation for the Plush You show. This is a prototype for a square lion. There are a few areas that I need to work on, mainly new legs and feet and maybe a longer mane. He is made from corduroy, wool, white canvas, and a vintage floral cotton….
Back Home
We’re back from Connecticut. We had a nice time with my in-laws and my twin nieces, Jordan and Ellis. Little Stella met everyone and was very well-behaved. Roxanne went on a hunger strike for some reason, perhaps due to feeling overwhelmed at meal time by sharing the table with two other two-year-olds, but she’s eating…
Collage #4
While walking in Brookline yesterday I picked up this random scrap of paper. It caught my eye because of the grid. I think it is some kind of sales and commision record that became scrap paper because it had an aol email printed out on the other side. During nap time yesterday I made it…
A bit of everything
Let’s see. I started pumping once a day so that Charlie can give Stella a bottle in the evenings in the hopes that she will like taking a bottle enough for me to leave her with someone else once in a while. So far so good, except today I was pumping and reading some blogs…
I don’t care for long dogs
Roxanne is obsessed with this horrible anthology of stories by Margaret and H. A. Rey. Over and over again we have to read about Katie Kangaroo and Whiteblack the penguin and Cecily G. and Elizabite. Seriously it is mind numbing, but one of the stories, “Pretzel”, is actually pretty funny. It’s about the longest dog…
South End Open Market
As some of you may have noticed, one of my bears has been featured on the front page of Etsy all weekend. My shop was chosen for the front page by the folks at South End Open Market, a DIY handi-craft market open every Sunday from May through October in Boston’s South End. We had…
