Curious World of Peculiar Dolls

I was very excited to be asked to participate in this online gallery show at the Poetic Tiger Gallery. I made a green haired Merman for the show.

He has a curly beard and buns in his hair. Also, a big old cow and a sheep on his chest.

And a few jewels at his waist.

Curious World of Peculiar Dolls opens (online) tomorrow or you can go to the website and sign up for an earlier viewing.

I will be showing my work this weekend

Are you in the Chicago area? This weekend is a busy one including Open House Chicago, an architectural tour. The building I live in is part of the tour and we have put together an art show with 12 artists in the building.

I am excited to be showing my work in person again! Here is some more info about the event-

I would love to meet you if you can come by!

Lumberjacks Ahead!

Perfect for the Autumn weather we’ve been having!

He is made of some classic toile for his tattoos. His chest is mostly trees which I thought was appropriate. He has high boots with (decorative) laces.

Here he is, hanging out with Jasper.

And in the garden-

Very Curvy Green Mermaid

This is the last one for now.

She has tiny jewel buttons in her hair.

And another one at her belly.

I had this lady all ready to post last night but then I saw that there was a black thread across her tail- which was invisible to me until I was looking at the photos! It is not the first time that has happened. Anyway, I’m onto Lumberjacks now.

Garden Baby

Little Baby asleep in the garden.

Work continues slowly around here. I have had family visiting which was a nice distraction. Also, my birthday! The real reason for the slowdown though, is that I had a bad fall 2 1/2 weeks ago and recovering has really slowed me down. I cut my head, broke a tooth, broke my glasses, other scrapes- all of which has meant appointments and time away from what I’d like to be doing. Also, recovering turns out to be very tiring so I’ve been resting a lot. Slowly I am feeling more like myself. Onward!

2 Orange Fish

I know I’m going very slowly with these fish but there is a lot of stuff going on that is a big distraction. Then I forget to post. Maybe someday we will get the art up on the walls in our new home!

2 Orange fish come next.

Now I need to go put another coat of paint on a project in my studio :-)
