Here is some progress on my Alpaca...I don't know why I have to cram it all onto the computer table...maybe because these two like to take the table.
The legs next to him are for the donkey and rhino...I have several in progress at the moment.
I just finished my sloth. He is one of my favorites. I had a hard time sewing in the limbs...so I might have to go back and rework the connections after my exhibition in June. I've got nine more to put together and lots of little fixes to make. But I am getting close.
"MO: Layered" opens today in NYC! I am so excited to be included with this wonderful group of artists....if you are in the city, please check it out.
So excited to be included in a group show next month in Manhattan! I was lucky enough to meet Cami Ledy in Miami, and I am privileged to have a chance to work with her. If you are in Manhattan, please check "M.O. Layered" out!
I had a pony named "Hot Shot" that was nearly the same color. Then I graduated to a spiteful Appaloosa, and finally to a Quarter horse. My mom now has a mother/daughter donkey duo that I have yet to meet. They just have the greatest ears and kindest eyes.
In my studio along with some other little critters. Sometimes I think my animals can get a little too similar in body shape to my sewing ladies. I am so glad this guy is a meaty no neck. And I am just noticing that all my animals lean to the left....maybe because I am right handed?
I just adore sloths. Do you know they do a dance to poop? Sometimes I feel like a little boogie is needed to get things moving.
His left eye can move in the socket, and sometimes he just looks so confused. Or high. I can't decide if I should let it be. It might be a good look for a sloth.
Hi there for anyone who has been reading...I have been to Miami, been back, had shingles, given my husband chicken pox, fought with my son's asthma, been making some screen prints and trying to get a lot of my own work done. So much to report on Miami and all the work I saw, but that will have to be a different post. Right now, I am just quick trying to get back at this so I am posting one of my new figures. I have a show in June in Northern Minnesota, and I hope to have a whole family to share.
This is my new woodpecker. And I am so in love with him. I am working on wings and limbs now. Somehow I need to start planning for these little critters tails though....it would make things so much easier. I tend to forget they have them.
