tattooed lady
The first of the ladies is done and is with me in Chicago. Yes, I got here yesterday!
This toile is the last of a piece I bought in Paris, 3 years ago.
A vintage button for her belt buckle.

Fall must be in the air- he has a corduroy jacket and a cashmere scarf!
He is looking a little wrinkly in the back. Hmm. It must be his favorite, wear all the time jacket.

a class in San Francisco
update- wow, wow, and WOW! the class is now full! If you’d like to be on the waiting list, send me an email at mimik@pobox.com.
I am going to teach a Tiny World class when I am out in San Francisco for the Renegade Craft Market. Thanks to everyone who responded to my enquiry.
The class will be on Friday, July 26, 10 am to 4 pm. All materials will be included except your teacup. The cost is $85. The class will be held at Sonya Philip‘s studio in San Francisco and is limited to 8 people. I have loved teaching this class and seeing what people create. I’ve also seen some wonderful groups of friends or mother/daughter pairs take the class together. This class is accessible to anyone who can thread a needle and likes details!
If you are interested in taking the class, I have listed it in my Etsy shop, here. Or, if you’d rather, send me an email (mimik@pobox.com) and I will send you a Paypal invoice.
I now have a class in San Francisco and one in New Hampshire. I am also working on scheduling 2 more classes for the fall in New England. This is turning into my year of teaching!
teaching in San Francisco?
I will be in San Francisco again this summer for the Renegade Craft Market on July 27 and 28. I am thinking about teaching a Tiny World class while I’m there. It would be either before (Thurs 7/25 or Fri 7/26) or after the show (Tues 7/30). Is anyone interested?
Details- it is a 6 hour workshop, 8 people max, cost will be approx. $75. I am trying to gauge interest before I buy my plane tickets.
And, don’t forget I will be at the Art Retreat just a few weeks later. I’m filling up my teaching schedule!
I left my studio
Yep! I went down to the beach in North Carolina for some brisk beach walks and salty air.
There is cactus there. And people zipping around the water using kites.
Lots of pretty beaches for walks.
And lighthouses.
Big dunes and bird watching.
Did I mention that my daughter was part of the group?
And then a very long drive in the pouring rain.
The last leg was a train trip from Connecticut back to Boston. One of the things I love about the train is all the views of the undersides of the world.
And I’m home! Hopefully I will be back to work soon and get some things finished up and posted. So much to do including the garden which came to life when I was gone. See you soon!

Finally, it is beginning to feel like Spring around here!
a class, an essay and the beach
I’ve got various random bits of news. I’m teaching a Tiny World class at Gather Here on April 13 and 14. Come join the fun! This class is suitable for anyone who can thread a needle.
And, I am the guest blogger (or Curator) at Jenny Doh’s blog, Crescendoh.com. I wrote an essay on the theme of “Art Saves” here.
We were away for a few days at a family gathering. On the way home we stopped at a few beaches along the East Coast and saw many signs of the damage from Hurricane Sandy. But still, the beach is so beautiful.
And one more thing- Instagram. I can’t stay away. I’m mimikirchner over there if you want to find me.
and the winner is…
#10, Louise! Congratulations! The book is on it’s way!
Thanks for playing everyone!
