Still waiting for the new etched glass door to arrive.

6" square patches in browns and turquoises: a quick quilt/playmat for a friend's new granddaughter. The friend lives near the sea, hence the choice of picture fabrics. (She's also a gardener and loves acers. Not sure where the musical mice come in!)

The top's finished - now to assemble it with a cream/bronze tiny-print border/back, and quilt it, trying out a YLI space-dyed quilting thread.

Smashed and nipped into a semblance of order. No idea what's going to be done with these yet though. Something for the kitchen perhaps.

From and egg carton ans wine corks. Needs some paint and dirt to be done.

I've been working on this pattern for a few days. It is based on the Velveteen rabbit illustrations. I hope to be selling the sewing pattern in my shop by next week.

It will never be finished, because tan is way to expensive.

In the preliminary stages of a new mosaic, a clown portrait. This is a sketch of the ruffle that goes around the clown's neck. I can't draw at all, but the goal is to have the ruffle look like it has some dimension, not just flat tiles. Still refining the drawing...any feedback is helpful...thanks.

Work in progress -- a bunch of guys riding on the tops of hot air balloons, for an activity at www.styl.us

I need to touch up the clouds a bit, especially in the front there. They're just not cloudy enough.

3 layers of 6.

will be painted on a wall eventually.

last new stencil before I leave for NYC.

I painted a bunch of pages in my moleskine last night..fun, fun.

...then I color in the parts I won't cut out with a Sharpie. It helps me get an idea of how the print will look.

The first two layers printed -- ivory for the illuminated strip, and yellow for the floor and interior of the cinema.

Fol Chen make the connection between pattern and song — with their mutual reliance on repetition and texture — explicit in this aural interpretation of a Wiener Werkstatte textile. The Viennese collective’s handcrafted ethos is reflected sonically through the use of handmade instruments, while their commitment to elite design production is illustrated with an original watercolor artwork for each CD cover. Edition of 100, $20.

In-progress shot of a shell I knit for a friend's birthday. Yarn: Joseph Galler Inca Cottong (I think). Pattern: my own (made up as I went along.)

I almost forgot to stop and take pics on this one. working hurridly on this one. i have an idea involving lyrics to a song. ive done it with a painting about three years ago and i liked it, but didnt know if i should try it again. im still not quite decided. Im working a LOT free'er than usual because of deadlines and just ..feels right. Its ALL i do these days ..just paint. this is based from a statue in a parisian cemetery.
