I am working on some hang-tags.

I really want to see Martin Ontiveros’s show.

L. climbed onto our bed during the wee hours of the night and put this little ceramic owl, from my dresser, into my hand, and asked me to take care of it. In the morning my hand was still holding the owl; I then knew it wasn’t a dream.

Jean Valentine’s new book of poetry, Little Boat.
Here, I like to listen to Jean Valentine read her poems.

Here is my pillow prototype of Horace. I’m still tweaking the colors, but basically here he is in all his glory. He is silkscreened with earth-friendly inks on organic cotton stuffed with wool. I’m hoping to have the final ones completed and ready to sell before the holidays.

I finally got a chance to see Lisa Solomon’s solo show at the LittleBird Gallery last weekend. Gorgeous show. I especially liked the brilliant doily trees, because they made me think of real fir tree boughs making those lovely doily spirals.

Camilla Engman’s calendar is elegant in its conception and execution. It is the most appealing calendar that I have ever hung on my wall and the new year has not even started, yet.

Finally, Gracia and Louise have created such lovely online store, that I wish there was some kind of non-virtual department store that looked and felt this way.

Does anyone know of a great place that makes really nice fabric labels?

Life? or Theater?

I made Garden Without Flowers in 1999 using watercolor cut-outs and backgrounds. Fausto Caceres created the amazing soundtrack.

* note- I just updated with a less pixilated version.

I’m back from vacationing near the Columbia River Gorge, Washington. We had a lovely time!
I went to a few of the events at the the PLATFORM International Animation Festival held in Portland, Oregon and wish I could have seen more, especially the Installation and Event Party.
Here are a few links that I gathered from artists’ work I saw at PLATFORM or heard about.
