2 more.
Another Mid-Century cup-
And a diner classic-
Here is seven, all together-
I have more but will have to wait for the rain to stop to photograph them. Fingers crossed for some good weather!
back to work and 2 more tiny worlds
I am back to work. I need to get back to posting though, since I am beginning to get a backlog of these Tiny Worlds.
Firstly though, I’d like to thank everyone who reached out to me with condolences- I really can’t convey how much it meant to me. I know that most of us don’t know each other in person, but I was truly touched and comforted by your words.
Anyway, pincushions 4 and 5-
life news and tiny worlds
My desk has been covered with Tiny World pincushion parts and materials for the last week or so. Unfortunately, I had to leave that all behind on Tuesday to go to Connecticut because my Mom died. When someone is 100 and has not recognized me for years, I guess dying can never be called unexpected, and yet, wow, all the feelings and processing. And getting out of my little nest/comfort zone/studio, into a whirlwind of family and decision making. Goodbye Mom ♥
I’ll be posting what I had finished and photographed right before I left on Tuesday.
last owls- 10 and 11
2 more snowies.
One from today and one from yesterday, sitting in the chair.
snowy owl time
Well first, Happy Mother’s Day to all who are celebrating! And now some snowy owls or maybe I should call them owls with no ears…
Both of these owls are incredibly soft, made with cashmere, angora, and alpaca, and I am sure some wool too.
This one has eye brows.
And this one isn’t terribly snowy at all!
Here are his/her grey and white striped wings-
Brown Owl 7
Three owl-y friends, hanging out on the porch. Hurray for Spring!
Grey owls- 5 & 6
See, more paisley!
Owls 3 and 4
I love a great paisley, especially a knit paisley on an owl! (spoiler alert- I have more owl paisley coming…)
The owl is sitting among the tulips which are just finishing up. Those tulips- it has to be 20 years since I planted them and they still thrive. Amazing.
and now, a whole lot of owls!
Here are the first two.
I like working on these brown owls. All the fabrics I’m using have memories.
a little more LA and what comes next
The last thing I want to mention that I love about LA is the food- we do tacos, tacos, and tacos. Also fresh fruit and veg- we had strawberries from a farmers market like I have never tasted in my life!
Do you watch Chef’s Table on Netflix? I love that show! We went to Nancy Silverton’s restaurant for an amazing dinner.
And lastly, I’ll mention the Getty Villa. I enjoyed the collection although a big part of the museum is currently closed. Loved these weird bird, fish, lady creatures.
What comes next? I am doing the Coolidge Corner Arts Festival, Saturday June 3. I will be working toward that, right up to the last minute I’m sure. Tomorrow, some new finished pieces!
