Purple Prince
I've been hunkered down in the studio finishing up a couple of custom pieces. This handsome fellow was inspired by a family favorite, The Purple Prince of Oz in which Prince Randy has to fulfill these seven requirements to become king:
- make three true friends
- serve a strange king
- save a queen
- show bravery in battle
- overcome a fabulous monster
- disenchant a princess
- receive an important magical treasure from a wizard
Secret Garden
We've been reading aloud the adventures of the orphan Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden. This little lady seemed to like the story too.

Tea For Two
Tea For Two is complete and in the shop. After sharing this video 10 days ago I continued to fiddle with it and ended up adding four additional pieces. I finally decided to stop tweaking and glued all the parts into place last night. It's almost impossible to call a piece like this "done". At some point you just gotta say enough is enough. The chippy yellow tea set was found in a dusty cabinet back at this thrift shop in Kansas.

Doll House no 400
Years ago I picked up a baggie of small wooden houses at a Catholic charity thrift shop in Mobile, Alabama. I had no idea they would spawn a series of four hundred Doll House pieces! Not sure how many more there will be....you can never know with these kinda things.
Doll House no 399
A trio of new Doll House pieces are ready to enter the world (shop!) today. Two of them are petite and nestle in the palm of your hand like a small talisman. I'll leave out any reference to uni-boobs here.

Assembling Tea For Two
Thought you would enjoy watching the latest assemblage come to life. I believe I'll call it "Tea For Two". Next step is to remove everything so I can work on the box before gluing each element into place. The video will come in handy when it's time to piece the puzzle back together.
A big THANK YOU to each of you who shopped and tweeted my Christmas In July sale. It was a big success! All the packages were mailed off yesterday so keep your eye out if you're expecting a Sushipot art object ;)

July Art Blocks
Can you believe we're already half-way through the year? This one seems to be picking up speed! July's art blocks are ready a bit early and I will be posting them in the shop this afternoon. If you see one you would like to reserve you can send me a note right here. Wishing you a lovely July.

New Collage
Do You Love Me?, original collage on book cover
These new collage pieces feature images from a 1940's children's health textbook and an old encyclopedia dating from around the same period. Collocating the saturated color imagery with black and white lithographs, photos and other scraps (including this and this) resulted in a collection with a slightly dark, nostalgic bent.
In other news I'm signing off for a long-ish weekend to visit family. I'll see you in July!

Work In Progress
She's one wacky lady....trying to get her limbs to cooperate has been a test of my patience. The past couple of nights I've been working on her and listening to Pride and Prejudice.

Doll House no 398
Doll House no 398 (with womb), mixed media assemblage
One more piece to share with you today.... number 398 from my 'Doll House' series.
Coral Mermaid
I grow old. . . I grow old. . .
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
*****

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
by T.S. Eliot, 1917

Keep Off The Moon
Keep Off The Moon, collage on old book cover
Maybe I got a little carried away with the stars on this one ;) I've got two assemblages in progress in the studio. As long as they behave I'll share them with you in a couple of days.
