Sorry I got so behind in my blogging ... the Sticks and Stones show went incredibly well! You can click on the sticks and stones button to the bottom left to see what I put up. Thank you all who came out to see the show and a special shout out to my patrons! I'm so encouraged by your support! Now I'm playing Santa's elf and preparing for the Holiday shows .... click on where to see our work to the left to see where I'll be showing my wares. If it looks a little lean today, keep checking back -- I'm still waiting to hear from some venues and will post when I find out. Cheers!

WOW! Got invited to do a show, STICKS AND STONES, next May at Heights Arts! Will be making new work along the lines of the spirit shield on the "for the spirit" page, but not necessarily all spirit shields. LOTS of ideas dancing thru my head now ... will let the ideas settle a bit before I start work ... stay posted!

While my hand and wrist are in the final stages of healing, I'm drawing ... figure drawing 2-3 times a week. This week's model was quite rotund, and wound up looking like Humpty Dumpty. So I  reworked it, and this is what I got. Color notecards are available for $3 each. Free shipping for USA.

I'm a one-handed wonder now. Let the healing progress! Working on new series of designs for laser-cut block prints. Coming soon!

Tore tendons over my wrist, so some fingers are not working so well. Surgery has been scheduled, but rehab is 6-12 months. Will have to miss the summer festival/fair season, but hope to be well enough for the holidays. Meanwhile, I'll be making 1-handed art. lol! Stay tuned!
