snow

i just love the dress that i finished yesterday
and wore out to first Thursday Art Walk
in Seattle!
the pattern is by Yoshiko Tsukiori, Stylish Dress Book,
Wear With Freedom (great title).
what a splendid warm evening for Art Walk it was.
the highlight was Jennifer Beedon Snow's exhibit.
i've admired her paintings for a long time, and
it was great to see them in person,
rather than on-line,
for the first time.
i bought a mini book of her paintings
at the exhibit and had her sign the book.
i almost feel like we are kindred spirits after
reading her interview in the book.
her work is so very Diebenkorn, who is
one of my favorite artists of all time.

birdies

experimenting some more with my 
new digital illustration program.

these birdies are based on a pair of lovely
Mexican ceramic gals that i 
purchased at a local thrift shop for 
only $5.!!!
my husband and i love to shop at this shop just around the corner.
you never know what might pop up
from one day to the next.
my husband thinks that we have bought the
most lovely things of our lives 
there in the last year, since
we moved to this neighborhood.
