Things are finally moving along. The sides required more leaves and I created a sleeve off one shoulder. That part didn’t work. It’s all a learning process. Once the coat dried, everything was peeled off the glass so “real sleeves” could be produced. Voila! A vest is formed! After the sides were secured in vestContinue reading “And More Leaves”

Under the Leaves
This coat did not just come to life one day, but has come from the past many months of Mocha’s life. Yes, the old dog. I actually gather quite a few good projects from the ending months with my lovely companions. Chloe’s slow daily walks brought about examining little changes along our walk.

Leaf Coat Update
Things have been progressing along. The coat is taking real form now (I’m keeping the current images a secret still!). So here is the update… More to come in a day or so. Currently the sleeves are giving me fits. I’ll get it sorted today.

She has built up a nice business on Etsy and through shops prior to moving here. SheContinue reading “Satsuma Press Workshop”
Artful ballot box creation
On February 28th, the Arts Center will be holding yet another Chocolate Fantasy & Art Auction. Joni and Bernie corralled me many months ago to create tastefully executed ballot boxes. Having worked for the Arts Center for several years, I couldn’t turn them down. The three boxes didn’t turn out too terrible. The one thingContinue reading “Artful ballot box creation”
