boy fox

He looks young to me. More like a school boy fox.

Preppy fox

3:5:prepfox1It is that particular shade of green that I associate with preppiness. So I gave him a bright plaid vest too. It seemed like they’d go together.

It’s give-away time!

Lilla gave me a copy of her book to give away. And, she signed and decorated the front page too- so pretty!

2:26:bookI know I mentioned the book already but I have been leisurely reading it, thinking about what she says and doing some of the prompts. I love this book. As I read along I think to myself- I do that too! or I think that too! And (maybe) I thought I was the only one. I remember a similar feeling when I first discovered podcasts and listened to loads of artist interviews. I felt so connected to people I didn’t know and amazed at our similar experiences and ways of thinking about the work.

Lilla is teaching an e-course which is an expansion on the book- all about the art markets, making work that sells, all her secret (art) agent wisdom. Check it out here.

So, if you want to be in on the give-away, leave a comment here. Anyone can enter- I’ll foot the bill for shipping wherever you are. The comment has to be on the blog- if you get the email, click over to comment. One entry per person. The giveaway will close on Sunday, March 3 at midnight est. I’ll do the random number generator thing on Monday, March 4. Good luck!

after a few comments I want to be clear- this is not a craft book, it is a book about the business of making art. You can check out the description on Amazon.

fox girl in blue

2:25:foxgirl12:25:foxgirl2She has a very soft cashmere scarf. Her dress is edged at the hem with baby rick rack.

2:25:foxgirl3The jacket is made from a fat quarter of a Japanese woven cotton. It has been in my stash for a long while, waiting for just the right combination of colors and patterns.

2:25:foxgirl4The snow is melting. Thank goodness yesterdays’ storm only added another inch or two. And it whitened everything up.
