Halloween

I had some fun dressing as a sugar skull, then turning my picture into a poster.

Happy Halloween!

they're finally finished...

do you think this soul is going to heaven or hell?

My Day of the Dead clogs are painted. What do you think?

monsters, robots, and painted shoes

Today I doodled out some patterns for robots and monsters, trying out ideas to see what might work well for some small soft toys. The Day of the Dead painted clogs are what I really wanted to work on the most, but they got pushed to the back burner during the day. Getting out the wet paint on the middle of the dining table during mid-day doesn't always seem like the best idea. Those mealtimes somehow just keep coming around, and we need the dining table for eating, for doing homework, and for folding the laundry; as well as for a good-sized creative workspace. Sometimes I do my best work after everyone else is in bed, so I'll shoot for that tonight.

less virtual, more actual

Thank you to all who have responded to my posts, helping me to get underway and navigate the internet.
I have more painted clogs partway done. So far they're looking good, with a Day of the Dead theme.
Stay tuned after this brief message.....
