It’s easy not to post. Especially when I get a little busier than is comfortable, but my whole life goes better if I post here regularly and make my bed. So, a post everyday this week to get back in the swing of it. I’ll also be making my bed but not reporting on it unless something note worthy occurs.
For today a photo of part my bulletin board .
p.s. The Ballerina on the little pink stand is for you freda – I’ll email photos of the rest later today.
An american avocet still in the sculpting stage.
And later on getting her feathers.
Just like her friend the willet her feathers are made from the skirt of a thread bare, swiss dot, edwardian lawn gown. She’s lying on a piece of it here.
I’m outfitting The Antonia with new sails for the tinlark show.
She’s almost done, maybe a picture later.
And two more sails for the Ginger Rose.
I’m hoping to finish her tomorrow.
A new ship for the Tinlark show, The Bonnie Prince Billy
(you’re welcome to contact the gallery for purchase info on ships)
I’ve been a slacker on my flea market reports lately
I got this green pot a couple weeks ago. I love it, it’s my current favorite color.
WIP: another sail for the Ginger Rose and some first thoughts on a new ship.
A sail I’m working on for a new ship, the ginger rose.
A brand new paint box to replace this one which has finally given all it had to give.
And some sails in progress.
They progressed all the way to being attached to the hull today and I’m hoping to post a finished picture tomorrow.
Work in progress for tinlark.
The last daily bird for a while, at least until after the tinlark show.
Rosey will be in the shop at 8PM EST.
* I can’t take little bird orders right now. I wish I could but I’ve got to focus on things for the show and current orders. *
* Cake topper orders are closed for June and July *
* I’m getting off the 6 am photo program. It has served it’s purpose. The super early start is working well but taking the picture is a distraction. *
*Paper mache- I use wheat paste, Golden Harvest wheat paste ( wall paper paste)*
If you’ve check out Laura Normandin’s blog then you already know I’m participating in a show in LA this July at Tinlark Gallery with Laura and Maggie Hiltner. It’s flattering to be included with such talented people. I’m enjoying making things for the show and excited in kind of a mildly hysterical way about the experience – I’ve never done anything like this before and the thought is a little overwhelming. I’m doing an installation in the project room that will include the 100 horse project.
The space is perfect for the horses and I’m also making new ships and some other things. I’ll be posting progress photos and will probably be getting myself on some kind of self -inflicted program soon to insure steady forward progress.
I’ll give you more news on the show as it becomes available.
Today’s bird, Freda, looks like she means business.
She’ll be in the shop at 8:30 PM EST.
I’m not sure for how long but at least for this week. This is rosalee.
She’ll be in the shop at 8:30 PM.
Something Christmasy in progress:
I’m still working on it. Here’s a shot of the little set.
And another not so pretty behind the scenes picture.
This is what about 95% of the pictures I take look like.
*news about ships , 100 horses and some other things tomorrow*
