Well, I've done some traveling, and I've been working a lot and raising a puppy, but no art. I hope to remedy that soon though!
Here's the guy who's pushed art right out of my life, temporarily anyway. This is him camping at Big Sur in late summer.
This is him a couple of weeks ago. Look at how that nose has grown!!
Look at this precious little art journal that my friend Diana from Velvet Moth Studio sent to me! Everything she does is exquisitely detailed, from the fabric she'll have made herself, to all the hand stitching and beading.
And look at the binding! It involves some sort of complicated folding, and you can remove and replace pages just by folding back the tabs. So clever, and as I told her, maybe I'll actually get myself to use it since I can always replace a page I hate! For some much better, and detailed, pictures and info, see this link to her post about it. She's SUCH a better photographer than I.
My Mom and I flew back East to Massachusetts to visit my cousin and her wife. I'd never been back there before, and it was really amazing. We drove around Vermont leaf peeping as they call it, and we went to Cape Code, visited Provincetown, and in spite of a hurricane and delays, made it to Nantucket on the ferry. Loved the whaling museum there, loved everything really.
I had some fun decorating my back patio for Fall. I see it right out my kitchen window, so I love having it decorated.
I'll spare you from pics of the Halloween explosion inside my house, I've done that enough times, but here are a couple of shots from my Halloween crazy neighborhood. I can never get good pictures of everything lit up at night that reflect how magical it is.
These guys made a peeing skeleton fountain.
This is a spooky bar to sidle up to for a drink...
