Puppets



Here's something I've been working on recently. I did two versions of this (the other one is a girl in more modern clothing), but have a soft spot for this girl's victorian outfit.

Feedback on Quoth the Maven




If I could ask for feedback ... this is a new blog heading I've been working on for a friend who has a blog. What do you think of the design? I've been tweaking it until I think it's *almost* perfect. Any blind spots I am missing?
(I am trying to make this bigger but for some reason it keeps shrinking when I upload it -- you can read the font better when it is bigger)




House Art Journal

Here's what I've been up to. It's a little blog about how (busy moms and dads) can make their houses their "art." I got the inspiration from another Catholic artist friend of mine, who when she became a mom, sort of let her "career" go by the wayside (she's one of those people who can't do two things at once -- her gift is for doing one thing very well) in order to devote herself to her house and children. But since she's an artist, her house blossomed under an artist's care, and her children have all turned into budding artists!

She is the first Catholic artist I ever met, and the one who introduced me to Willliam Morris, Stickley furniture, the Arts and Crafts movement, and too many things to mention that are very, very cool. If I could, I would post pictures of her house, (and maybe someday I will) but in the interim, I'm posting about how I applied her ideas (essentially).

She would be embarrassed if she knew I was giving her credit like this. :)

Hooray I'm Back!


Thanks for your persistence in getting us back on Smallpax Ted!


And to prove I've been sketching, here is my sketch of my daughter Joan.


(Okay, it's from way before Christmas but just so you can see something)


A Couple of Recent Sketches



Greetings! I was _finally_ able to get on! Here are a couple of sketches I've been trying to post all week (a pox on Google!):
