It seems impossible to get the colors in the photos just right. This fellow’s scarf is what I’d call a dark orange versus the red it looks like in all the photos.
How do you like the amazing elephant ears? I’ve had so much fun watching them grow this summer. They come from grapefruit sized bulbs that my husband bought at the big-box store.
A very dressed up pug girl!
She is wearing a very fancy houndstooth that I bought in Montreal last fall.
I’ll start with some on-the-desk pics-
He’s getting his hair-do. And below, hanging with the other kilt-guy.
Vintage cotton plaid from my Mom’s stash and a cashmere man scarf.
Cherubs on his back-
Under the kilt-
I’m restocking the fish.
Oh yes, I have a crush on him!
He has skeleton tattoos and an embroidered belt buckle.
I am packing him up for his new home as soon as I post this- Good-bye handsome man!
Someone asked me to do a lumberjack with skeleton fabric after I made this fellow at the end of September last year, Yes, 10 months ago. So I have finally gotten to it!
I’m back and have been since mid-week. It takes a few days to recover and get back into the swing of things. It felt like a whirlwind trip- mostly work and a little fun times with wonderful creative people I have met though my online life. So good to see Sonya, Kathryn and Alice!
Here are some booth photos- they are taken with my phone, so sorry about the quality.
These are the all-around on first day.
I always rearrange the 2nd day, hoping it actually makes a difference.
Lots of things found new homes and lots came home too. I’ve listed the pieces that came home in the suitcases into my etsy shop. The shipped pieces (dogs and I don’t know what else!) should arrive by the middle of next week and then I’ll list them too.
It was so much fun to meet and talk to past and new customers, see how people interact with my work, see what catches the eye, what gets the comments. It is always worth getting away from the studio for a few days even if it is not my natural inclination.
