summer lady 2 and some history
Summer lady 2
Here are some sketches and some faces that I’m working on.
And, I decided that Loobylu‘s Friday Archive was a great way to add to my category of “my art history”. So you know I used to work in clay. I made a lot of single decorated tiles. They were meant to be hung up on the wall individually. I always thought of them as art for the kitchen or bathroom- places you might have a problem hanging paper art. And, you could put these pieces through the dishwasher if they got dirty! I have the ones that were defective- you can see that this one has a big firing crack in it. It is dated 1980. It hangs in my studio now.

mimi, i adore all of your embroidery work, and i am happy to see some of the clay work, too. it is beautiful even with its imperfection…the firing crack gives it a bit of mystery, as if the nighttime scene isn’t quite as peaceful as it would seem on first glance.

Mother in her attic high,
Working on some tattoo guys.
Talk all on the worldwide web,
says your dolls are celebs.
So on this mother;’s day I’ll let,
you sit and surf the internet.
For while you may enjoy my presence
there’s gaiety in blog comments.
Happy Mother’s day Mom
Love, Your son Peter.
