Taking a break from the people faces to make owl faces!






It is fun to be playing with my bin of woolly fabrics and all the assorted textures again!

He is the last man for now. Time to clean up my mess and start a new mess! Look at his awesome hair- it is purple!

And he has a curl-


I need to have a million buttons so I can find the perfect one.









Just one more man after this (not a sailor) and I’m ready to move on to something else!


This has turned out to be the month of tattooed men. There are 2 more after this and then? We shall see!





Thank you to everyone who asked to be on my mailing list- I really appreciate it!
In this crazy year of all cancelled in-person shows, I have been exploring new options. There are some really great online shows going on! I hope they continue after the pandemic because wow- Awesome! Some of these shows require a mailing list which, since the days of me doing pottery, I have never maintained. I am hoping to get things figured out with Mailchimp and have links you can click to sign up, but I am a bit overwhelmed with that part of the process right now. Hopefully I will get there soon. So, I will do it the old-fashioned way. Would you like to be on my mailing list? Leave a comment with your email address or send me an email at mimik@pobox.com. In my dreams I would send out a newsy email once a month but I know that won’t happen. More likely it will just be announcements of when I am doing shows. If you already get my blog posts via email, unfortunately it is not the same thing. You still have to give me permission.
And now, here are some of the things I am doing. This coming weekend I will be part of Doll and Teddy Bear Artist Online Show.

Also, Paradise City , which is doing ongoing virtual events. Lots of good stuff there. I bought a beautiful birdbath last month from one of the local artists.
And for now, lastly, Art Party Central. I am scheduled to do one of their shows at the end of June.
It has been such a strange year but thank you so much to all who have supported me and stayed with me! I feel very lucky.
Another redhead and this one with skeletons.


I squared off his beard so as not to cover up the tattoo images.





I have a few sailors that have been waiting a long long time to get finished so finally, Say hello to this big fellow! Here he is with his hat on-



French knot buttons on his pants.



A red-haired man with swirly hair. Isn’t this gorgeous?!

Here is the front- much more important.


A fancy button-



It took me many days to get these photos- we’ve been having crazy wet weather around here, including snow last Friday. That’s Spring in New England.

A big man with a top knot.



There he is- George Washington with all kinds of other (I am sure) symbolic imagery that I have no idea how to interpret. And I found this awesome button in my collection. Perfect.




I thought the lady was in a balloon but it is actually more like a parachute- some of these toiles don’t really make sense. Anyway, I am sure it is a great adventure. Here is a better pic.



Here is the back of the hair-
