roaring fire
I made this painting a little while ago for Partners & Spade.
You can see it installed in the mantle in the NY Times today or in person at 40 Great Jones Street in New York.
mr. guppy
A new owl – mr. guppy.
He’s made from an antique flour sack and dress makers scraps from the early 1900’s among other things.
He also has some 19th century thread sewn into his ears.
The threads are courtesy of stephen szczcepanek and I love them. I’m not sure what circumstance he finds them in but they absoutley belong in owl ears and probably some other places too.
bat
strolling spider
A little spider, out for a stroll among the mushrooms.
Away she goes, showing off her fancy posterior.
happy new year!
A beautiful and wonderfully expressive, melancholy little bear, will, a christmas gift handmade by my sister becky (note on the picture- taken using the handiest little tripod ever – a gift from my sister Catherine).
And a couple new owls in progress.
new in the shop
I finished the owl in the post below – rodrigo is in the shop now as well as a few more birds and a paper mache sailboat.
owl in progress
I’m working on a few things for the shop ( including some birds). I’ll post when they are available – definitely before the weekend.
* If you’re waiting to hear back from me hang in there – I’m going to spend a lot of time over the next couple weeks catching up on email.
bonbon raffle
Deb of bonbon oiseau has assembled a lovely collection of things in a great basket that is being raffled to benefit the food bank of NYC.
I’m very happy to contribute a pair of birds – pearl and minter
pearl has a fancy corsage.
You can get all the details about the basket and purchase a ticket (ten dollars online and five dollars in person) right here. You have until 5pm on December 21st to enter.
rigging a tiny ship
The gjoa
and the little diorama it became part of.
shipwreck!!
On a stormy winter sea. That ship met with a mishap a while ago and I intend to fix it soon but I like it’s ruined state and wanted a picture before I repair it.
