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!

Isolde is most often sought after.

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!
