Planning an Eastward journey across the southern states. The beatnik owl dude is going to Japan. What a journey he will have. There is a Super Sale going on over at my etsy shop. My car is tiny tiny and I can't take everyone with.

Fred the Shed

So this is Fred,  New Mexico kiln shed.   This cozy little bit of love  was built  a month ago by  sister Tracy,  her boy friend and I. He's shy so I won't go into to much  about his id, except to say he's quiet handsome and talented/ kitchen.   I came out west, to New Mexico in November  to visit. Family, friends and set up another studio. Fred is the journey baby 
and I'm  a happy mother. Little bit of love here. Sister welded the frame together in a snow storm / painted it our favorite color... yellow. Tracy  gave me a welding lesson so that further enriched  the project.                                  My mother has been visiting from Minnesota. She helped  by sorting out usable screws / a giant  mass of fasteners  and kept the wood stove going . A key joy to the project's end as the wet snow  froze my toes. I've completed two groups of runny bunny figures here this winter. One went to Spitfire Girl in California. The others are available through Etsy.
 This has been the best winter holiday I can remember. Surrounded by the warmth of family and friends,I could not have asked for a better tamale.. Big thanks to all the runny bunny collectors out there! and Lou Anne's big heart for sending me off with a full bag/ tamales.

Drawings into the night

Sketching always makes me peaceful into the night
