Laying out the collected Varsity letters that,Darlene helped me sew on the felt, I distressed. It measures  6 ft!

Me and Dayna Collins, her show opens next!

I'm so lucky to have friends who show up to see the art (l-r Leslie Janet Rachael Alea),  Getting ready for a solo show can be draining, over 32 pieces. This will be it for quite awhile!

Thanks for coming to the opening, only 2 weeks left!

Photos were taken to make a book @ Stephen Funk Photography

Hope to see you, soon

Window View on Alberta Street @Guardino Gallery. You can see all the photos in the previous post!

Only 2 Weeks Left!!!!

To meet "Weederboy" and say hello. To make the puppets move by moving the levers, they all like to dance!




Here's a view of the gallery wall "Ring My Nose" one of the 2-d circus posters




Another Gallery view , "Bigmouth" is waiting to swallow your ball. To the right is the "half/man- half woman" it spins and has a naughty surprise, like any good sideshow freak would.......





Scarlett looks so cool suspended in the front window, surrounded by black hoops





The puppets are pretty friendly, and so far are behaving themselves *grin* . There's talk of a encore show, with some pieces sold, there are a few more that might join the Circus....



So hurry before May 22nd

In the mean time I am back to decorating again. This dark corner needed something..... I agonized over what kind of bookcase to put in. A built in on the whole wall was a 1st choice, but the IKEA grid was the quicker fix, I may still add on another level , to display all my collectibles. The bottom row is my temporary desk. Next week I'll add a chandelier, chair and work/ art table....

And dreaming of painting large canvases soon @ OCAC, the fabulous Pat Wheeler form N.Y./Maine arrives, a full week of splashing paint will begin!
