Pepper

We have a rescued little Boston lady dog from a breeder.  Pepper (in the red harness) is staying with us for a few days and then going into Foster care.  Chiquita got her dancing this morning.  Thought you all might enjoy a video!  (I tried to get my blog server to post a higher quality video.  But, it is being stubborn!)

Horse

I haven't given up on oil painting!  Just slowed down a bit.  Here is a little 5x7 of a horse.  He makes a living taking boy scouts for trail rides at Camp Geronimo.  Wow.  That is a tough way to earn hay!

Fired Up

Although I have only fired one kiln load of glass since April, this week I got in the mood to make little buttons to go on some of my felted scarves and crocheted hats.  So, I got busy and fired three loads of glass.  Of course, I had to fire up lots of pieces for earrings and pins and buttons, too!

Poodle

Sometimes I like my fast sketches the best.  This is a little 5 inch by 5 inch oil painting of our nephew's poodle.

Stems Plein Air 2011

Wow the weather this year for the two week paint out at the Overland Park Stems Plein Air contest was wild!  The first week it was 50 degrees and raining.  The next week was 90 degrees and steamy.  But, I did submit this little 5x7 rose painting.

Alpaca meets Sheep

Here is the result of the Suri alpaca (yellow and blue) plied with the range ewe from Wyoming (Rambouillet/Columbia).  It is so fun!  Will make a lovely and big and warm scarf. 

Projects

Here are two of my latest projects.  A wonderful batt of white cormo wool and purple silk!  Ooooo, soft! 

And, I painted some animals from the Kansas City Zoo.
