The Carnival Chef has his own talents, but he keeps his balancing act a secret.

Clothilde is always playing tricks.

Rosalind proclaims - the larger the cat, the better!

These seemed to prove the most popular pieces in the gallery. Since it's a fairly new technique I've been using, I plan to do more of them soon.

And Now Back To Our Regular Programming...

Or, that's the plan, at least.
Sorry for all the missed posts! I'm still recovering after a good pummeling from a nasty throat virus. Blogging was the last thing on my mind (although I didn't completely forget - just couldn't quite get to it).
But I'm starting to feel better now, and this post will hopefully mark the beginning of a long string of new entries.

More news later - for now, please enjoy a handful of photos from my Papercuts & Gluesticks show opening!

I've Returned From a Little Vacation

More photos will follow...

Many thanks to Kari for hosting such a fun night, and to everyone who stopped by!
The show continues until the 25th, if you're in the area and would like to drop in.

Everyone is Invited!

UPDATE:

After working overtime to prepare everything for the show, I'll be taking a brief, much anticipated respite while my family is visiting.  I'm very much looking forward to picnics, hikes and happy Summer outings for a few days.

I'll be back in August!

Thanks to everyone for their understanding, encouragement and support as I hermited myself away while working towards this show. 

Cheers!
