Lillian and Her Scooter

This doll has been a couple years in the making.  She is finally nearing completion.  At 3" tall she is one of the largest dolls I've made.  She can stand without support if conditions are just right.  I gave myself the challenge of making her a piece of context that would help her stand and begin to tell a story.  The scooter was fun to make and it is an effective doll stand.  It also gives Lillian the occupation of scooting.  Fun!

Leroy's Elizabethan Collar

I've been traveling lately so I've had opportunity to crochet Leroy an Elizabethan collar.  I find that I can crochet while flying or riding in a car.  This collar has used up an entire ball of crochet thread and it is just now getting some volume.  One more weekend trip and it will be finished. 

Portraits of Women Artists

I've been working on improving all aspects of my photography.  To learn more about photo manipulation I decided to do a series of portraits of some of my friends.  I am working on learning about the range of what I can do with photo manipulation and on gaining control of the techniques.

An old drawing goes to auction

Several times lately I have encountered pieces of my art in the community.  Most recently, I became aware of a drawing that I did in the late 70s going to auction.  I hadn't seen this drawing for thirty years when I saw it on the internet. The instant I looked at it I remembered the experience of doing the drawing.  I don't know what happened in the auction, but I was able to get a jpeg of the drawing while it was up for bid.  I'm grateful for that.  This is a fun experience!

I did very little to document my work in the early years.  Some silk screen posters that I did in the mid 70s were auctioned at a benefit concert recently.  The experience of finding old work circulating in the community is validating.  I'm going to collect images of my old work whenever I have the opportunity.  I'll post images and stories when I have them.
