Here are a few things I have been working on...

"i've got something to say!"

Animals are always talking.  Are you listening?

My Mr. Mikey always has something to say.  He does this little dance and he will come closer to me and bark a little.  Then he will back up and tilt his head.  If I start to talk back to him, its almost as if he cops an attitude.


Conversations between animals are the best ones to watch.  They are so honest with each other about how they feel.  Its that honesty that can make us laugh.  Often, I think we are really laughing at ourselves because in a way, observing honest emotions in animals can expose our own.  Observing animals more often will teach you more about yourself and other human beings.  This conversation between creatures is something I see myself examining in my artwork more and more. 

Update!

It has been a while! I was having some issues with my blog. But now I have lots to show!

My nephew Hunter had his first birthday recently so I made him a cloth book all about fans. Hunter loves fans. He points to them whenever he sees them. We always joke that it will be his first word.

I had an "art sale" up at my cottage. It was a fun weekend. We hung paintings along the ropes using clothes pins. I really like the look of it. Here are some photos of it.

The gator is for sale on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/49126667/the-alligator as well as the upcycled coasters. They are made from tin cans, plastic and repurposed fabric. They are hand sewn.

The "Lifemouse" photo is the image I am working on to promote my artprize piece. It is a stop motion animation. http://www.artprize.org/artists/public-profile/48604

This fish is on a laptop sleeve that I made, also on sale http://www.etsy.com/listing/53504464/fishy-textile-laptop-case
