Jumping Jack

Jumping Jack, mixed media assemblage

Caught this little Pierrot in mid-act....he's not quite as down as his fellow mimes.

Monogram Plaques

New monogram plaques in the shop tonight. Let me know if you would like a specific letter and I'll see if it's still available. These illustrations were gleaned from a 1922 volume of the French dictionary, Larousse Universel.

Collecting Doilies

My collection of vintage doilies began years ago while living in Mobile, Alabama. A sweet, elderly neighbor was selling the home she had lived in since moving in as a young bride. She bestowed to me her collection of linens, doilies and numerous other vintage trinkets. I love all the various patterns, stains and imperfections that have appeared after decades of use. I think of Jeanette every time I rearrange these delicate doilies.

Black & White

I'm still incessantly snapping pictures with my iphone and (according to Patrick) have overspent my app budget for the month. I finally purchased all the film packs for Hipstamatic including this black and white BlacKeys SuperGrain film. Happy Friday!

Photobooth Fun

Lizzie is my constant companion in the studio and we tend to get a little goofy at times. We were playing around with Photobooth yesterday and made this old-timey photo strip over at Big Huge Labs. It's a bunch of fun so try it out if you haven't already. Have a good Thursday!
