This lady had her crow, Winston, out on the streets of Nevada City. He was great, very inquisitive of everyone and and their jewelry! He had this wild blue eye, who knew crows had blue eyes!

Just got back from a very relaxing and fun trip to Northern CA. Was there visiting my dear friend Connie, pictured here with her mom Doris, another dear friend! We had a great time as always and I found lots of creative inspiration. The area they live has lots of art, music, theatre and beautiful countryside so I’ve come home with lots of ideas and since it’s raining like crazy here will hope to spend quite a bit of time inside in the studio this weekend!
Work in progress

Some of King Henry’s friends in the making! First a bit of gesso..
then some paint, stain etc…. and next step will be their buttons, beads and baubles. But they will be waiting for a bit while I take a trip to Northern CA to visit my dear friend Connie.

This is King Henry, a faux, embellished bird I made Emma for Christmas. The “book” is actually a box. I’m working on some more in the studio today. I should have a flock soon!

I guess actually they are angel pigs! Anyway she’s enjoying our nice sunny weather while I guess the rest of the country is frigid!! Wow, am I ever glad I’m here! Must be time for a cocktail outside at the bar.
Happy New Year!

Wow another year done and a whole new lovely one to look forward to. I hope all of you have an outstanding one.
This is what I hope for my next year: A year filled with love, peace, more understanding, patience, joy, wonder and creativity. I hope to: Be in touch with those I care about more often. Try each day to live happily. Practice random acts of kindness. Be good to the earth and the people that live on it with me. Be more creative, not just in art but my life. Remember that I can’t control everything and be more relaxed. See the humor in life.
Let’s get up to date!

Mid November I did a small in home art show with my friend Julia and some other great artists.
Then it was Thanksgiving and several of us, including Nanny Toe enjoyed martinis!
And then…..Roger arrived for his annual Christmas visit. We all enjoyed the art at the Tempe Festival, okay some of us wanted to relax! He’s such a happy guy! 
Kev and Roger cooked an epic meal on Saturday night!
More martinis!
Great Food!!!
We started with Kev’s white pizzas, followed by Rogers onion soup then for the main course we had Kev’s fabulous grilled steaks and rosemary potatoes and for dessert Rogers carmelised oranges with cream, my god were they delicious! Everything was wonderful.
A couple nights later a wonderful Italian dinner at Terri and Ron’s house. She makes the BEST tirimisu! Yum!
So now we are moving on to Christmas, yikes it’s in 10 days!! Not ready!
Beautiful Day

The roses next door are in bloom. Lovely relaxing weekend so far, Em and I went Black Friday shopping, but not until 10 am so we actually missed the crowds! We miss Cassy though on Black Friday, without her in her Santa cap it’s just not the same!
Don’t even think about my yard!

I saw Olive up on the wall in a spot she never sits in and what do you think she was looking at
a rogue cat in our neighbors yard! A stand off to be sure.
Art for friends

Art I recently finished for my friend Ginny and the Turquoise birthday girl for my buddy Chris. These ladies are so much fun to make, it kind of reminds me of when I make dolls and the personality emerges throughout the project.
