Thanksgiving Greetings

Baby & Turkey Thanksgiving Postcard at Lots Of Postcards

Sending out Thanksgiving greetings to all of you celebrating this pie-filled holiday. I came across this bizarro image on a 1909 postcard of what is supposedly a baby riding a turkey? To me all I can see is a freak baby with turkey legs. Is it just me?! Made me giggle so I thought I'd share :) Have a happy one!

Lullaby Assemblage

Lullaby, mixed media assemblage with dangle-y night sky

All tucked in and ready for dreamland. This little one is making me sleepy....y-a-w-n...maybe it's time for a nap?

Little Boy Blue

Little Boy Blue, mixed media assemblage

A sweet (and slightly creepy) reflection on the popular nursery rhyme Little Boy Blue. I finished up three assemblage pieces over the weekend. Sorry folks....they are already spoken for....lots of custom work these days.

Tethered

Tethered, original collage on book cover with single thread

Thinking about connections…from our first physical bond through the umbilical cord to the expansive global communication network we've labeled the internet. We are tethered to others and to our environment in our actions, thoughts and memories. We continuously tug, knot, fuse and sever these ties.

Doily Art

Womb & Womb no 2, original mixed media with imagery from 1889 obstetrics book

Ever since I finished this piece I've been meaning to get around to makin' more doily art. Went back & forth on the stitching....whether to do xxxxxxx or | | | | | | | |. Decided on | | | | | | | | 'cuz they look like sutures which seems fitting in this context.

A trio of new Doll Houses are going into the shop this evening. These are little ones folks....they can nest in the palm of your hand.

Doll House no 384

The image on this Doll House was gleaned from an obstetrics volume published in 1889. The text is vintage Vogue sewing pattern tissue.

Pop Tart

Pop Tart, mixed media assemblage

Do you remember those popping toys on wheels from your childhood? Well, that's what this little fellow brought to mind. An old pastry roller plus a handful of hole punches and voilà...Pop Tart came to life!
