"I Think It’s Time II"mixed media sculpture A nesting pair of soft sculpture birds and a working vintage darkroom timer. This will be in the Paper Boat show in April. As I’ve been sewing these past few weeks I’ve been listening to recorded books through Librivox. Last week I listened to A Tale of Two…
small bird (brown and yellow), some mail, and some press
A new small bird for the show at Paper Boat. I had a mild freak out the other night after having finished 14 pieces for Artstream and then realizing that I have this other show right around the corner and only 8 finished sculptures. I spent some time separating the bodies of work and thinking…
wading bird with aqua feathers
The very last of 14 pieces for Artstream. Here he is sitting on the shelf in our family room. I am coming to like photographing my work as it might be if you bought it, sitting on the mantle or on a bookshelf. And here is a closer picture, this time in our living room…
wading bird in white
Another snowy day and another white bird. We had a two hour delay this morning which gave us just enough time to build a lovely snowwoman and a snowdog companion before it began pouring rain and we had to scurry off to school. They are now sadly melting into puddles on the front lawn. My…
a third small raptor (fall colors)
I finished this small raptor today. Yes, I just made three of these in a row. As I’ve mentioned before, I like to make things in threes. Here she is with her friend. I would photograph all three together, but the third one is getting ready for an opening tomorrow night in Phoenix at The…
small raptor
A new small raptor. The grey fabric was actually originally a white large scale floral print that I overdyed. Charlie says she looks Egyptian with those eyes. I love wool stuffing. It is such a pleasure to work with – really soft and fluffy and it smells like lanolin. It has some different properties than…
small bird 6
I treated myself to this delicious piece of brown linen the other day and made this sixth small bird. I like that she is looking down. I am always looking down when I walk, especially when I walk outside. Usually this is for the best because I find and pick up things that interest me…
for Softies II
I’ve finished the two toys and patterns for Softies II and they are on their way to Australia. I just have to work on the fabric credits now. I like that the two toys have similar attributes – a piece of the same fabric, jointed legs, vintage buttons, some raw edges. These are both fun…
Mississippi Kite and a trip to the emergency room
I made this bird, my version of a Mississippi Kite, for an upcoming show with the theme of kites at The Trunk Space, a gallery in Phoenix. When I was brainstorming what to make for this show I put “kite” into Google images and on the first screen saw these wonderful raptors called kites. I…
wading bird #5
I need to order Kona cotton several yards at a time. I keep buying half yard or quarter yard pieces and using them up as soon as they come in the door. And I’m getting ready to finally order some wool stuffing. My 10 lbs. of Buffalo Batt Superfluff are nearly gone now and I…
