Dolls in the works...

Having opened an Etsy store for the dolls, I am now prompted to get myself in high doll-making gear!  Needed to do it anyway, with September's art fair coming up.

So...I got the gourds ready, and now there are several little folks hanging out in the studio, drying their little faces and feets.  They seem to suggest new and interesting additions as they progress, each taking on a personality.  I think I'm in love.

Happy September!

I have been waiting for you, September.  Patient and (mostly indoors) waiting.  You don't bring us much by way of cooler temperatures, but there is that first-thing-in-the-morning scent in the air promising Autumn is not so far away now.  Our harvest this year has been one of productive artistry, business learning, and long range planning, rather than gourds, grains and greens.  Over the coming months we'll put this harvest to the best use we can...

But in the meantime, Welcome, September.  It's so good to see you again.

An Art Doll BOOK!

I think he believed me that I reeeeeeelly loved this book.  I checked it out from the Cortez Library near us, and then rechecked it, and then rechecked it again.  Then one came in the mail...for me!  My spousal unit may not say much at times, but he does know how to say I Love You with style.

Thank you, Phil.
