HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008

Another year has ended & new beginnings sprout with renewed energies. Latest development is entries to open Juried show in GALVESTON. This one hopefully makes the cut.U probably can't tell much due to the size pictured here. She is "VICTORIA" ,stands 29" tall . Her costuming is all velvet, venice laces, all which are hand dyed with a brush. Hair is mohair. Head & hands are full sculpted paperclay(TM).

Another Slug

Gourd Lifer was joined by Miz Beak who is a FUNKY , WACKY faerie . She is opinionated & probably gossiping or giving her views on the situation at HCCC.

This little fellow has sat on a UFD shelf for several years totally in his arnamature frame. Finally heard his cry to FIX him. The result & he is now showing off at Houston Contemporary Crafts Center.

Afterwards

Latest project has been to create a jacket from a sweat shirt obtained at IQF . Here tis:

One cannot see all the embroidery work but it is there with words in script surrounding the images on black. This is my very first attempt at inserting a zipper and cutting a shirt apart to resew & decorate. I don't want anything to match .It is NOT a FASHION statement only a fun project & challenge!
