The odin is a present for a good friend. I’m working on some new ships and boats- progress photos soon.

armadillo
I’m making a few collages and paintings for an ad job, in the little painting above an armadillo and his kitten friend sail the high seas.
titanic at the half moon hotel
This photograph was a gift from my favorite guy at the flea market -(park slope) and I love it. He stopped showing up in early summer last year. I’ve wondered and asked about him since and I found out a few weeks ago that he died. He took the photo at the Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island, I’m not sure when- 70’s or 80’s probably. He was a painter and photographer. I only new his first name – John.

On an excursion in Prospect Park.
cardboard castle
I’ve been extremely busy making all sorts of things; too busy, uncomfortably busy, but with things I love to do which makes me very lucky. I had lots of fun this past weekend building a cardboard castle for an ad job.
And finished 2 new ships – pictures coming soon.
sail boat 1
A paper mache sailboat with a stoic little passenger.
I’m going to make a fleet of little boats like this. I’m also working out a pattern/ project instructions for it.
fancy lichen and a couple other things
I found this lichen, (I think it’s called trumpet lichen?) and another spiky sort, in a forest in CT last week. Don’t know what I did wrong lichen care wise but the last one I had dropped dead immediately. This time it’s in the terrarium and so far doing well and maybe even growing a little. I’ll keep you painfully up to date on my lichen’s progress and all the other very exciting things that happen in my terrarium.
I have not abandoned the birds. I made three for the one in ten auction that I’ll post here soon and I promise there will be birds available in my shop in a little while including new bride and groom pairs. I’m still getting through current cake topper orders. This set was for Amy of Seamsters. She sent fabric she printed herself and I love her patchwork idea. I’m working on some patchwork pirate birds now.
Another favorite photo from Tinlark. ( photographers name coming soon)
It makes me wish I could take better pictures. I’ve started looking at beginning photography courses in new york this fall and any recommendations are welcome.
tinlark show
The opening for the Modern Fable Show is this Saturday July 14th from 4-9. I’m leaving early tomorrow for LA to hang my ships and 100 horses ( and a couple other things). Come say hi.
I’ve been wanting to make bird buttons forever and I finally did today.
I’ll have some pirate jack buttons and magnets to give away on Saturday. I’m going to make a little limited edition set of pirate bird magnets and they’ll be in the shop soon.

I’m outfitting The Antonia with new sails for the tinlark show.
