Owls...

I'm trying to post all the stuff I'm working on currently. These guys are just about done-- and no thanks to a certain Rabbit-- the yellow one has teeth marks on his right ear...grrrr....

Full Steam Ahead...

I'm off to NYC for the weekend..but it's probably a good thing-- I've done all the sewing I can for a few days. I get this horrible blister on my index finger from pushing the needle too hard or something?

Have I mentioned that these are all hand-sewn?

In other news...

Tiny Media Empire is putting together a little series of fundraiser prints. Everyone in the Tiny Media Family (Justin Myer-Staller, Linda Price, Dan Danger, and myself) will each create a print to benefit the studio! More details to come!

Heart-of-Hearts

As promised photos of some new work in progress...please be patient with me as I am new to this whole blogging business and so I'm still trying to figure out the best way to lay these out on the page!

My hope is to make multiples and display them all (completed that is-- ie sewn) on a single wall.

Let the Seasons begin...


I've been pretty busy in the studio the few times I've been able to make it up...(work has been so hectic with all this overtime!)

Over the weekend I hope to get some pictures of my newest works in progress. I've found a few distractions from my growing herd of elephants and owls-- which include a few rabbits, chicken embryos and birds in flight, in pillow form and paintings on wood!

I've also started on a series of stuffed human hearts...I'd like to make 25 of them but we'll see how far I get...It sure would be nice to have the time to do a whole series of human body parts...

I've also got more than 16 elephants in the works...quite nearly ready to be sewn!
