Flying Tree has SOLD!

 Flying Tree has sold at the Northville Art House's annual juried exhibit "Small Works."  I am so happy.  It does feel rare to sell one of my tree structures.  Flying Tree is 12" tall x 6" wide x 4.5" deep and can be viewed in the round.  The collaged fabric on the base is machine stitched with a hole in which you can put your hand, if your hand is small enough.  

In the 2nd image of Flying Tree you can see the inside of the top piece which is discharged brown fabric with stripes.

I have more in the Tree Series that I'm hoping to work on in 2023!

2022 Holiday Shows

Dear Followers,

I am truly terrible at keeping up with my blog.  Sorry about that!  So I thought I would take the opportunity to tell you about the three holiday shows I'll be in and give you some ideas of what's new in my work this year.

ArtCats Gallery in Muskegon, Michigan, at www.artcatsgallery.com is an incredibly wonderful little gallery (and not just because my work is there).  The owner, Louise Hopson, is a potter with her studio behind the gallery where she produces quirky and colorful, wild and wonderful pottery displayed in the gallery.  I have my dolls there all year round, fortunately, and usually have Leotard Angels and Big Skirt Angels.  Here are some of the newest ones at the gallery:

Louise also chose four Little Angels, only 6" tall:

LowellArts in downtown Lowell, Michigan, at www.lowellartsmi.org sets up their large gallery space for their annual juried holiday artists market for over 40 artists' work.  I'm a member there and love to have my dolls at the annual show.  My space is a small, narrow one but it fits my work so well.  The show is November 4 - December 24.

I hope you can visit to see everyone's work!

I've been invited back to the BBAC (Birmingham Bloomfield Arts Center) in Birmingham, Michigan (north of Detroit) this year and am so pleased to have my work there.  The Holiday Shop is December 1-20 and they spend all November setting up this wonderful show and sale.  (Check them out at www.BBartscenter.org.)  I have Button Jesters (seen just below), Big Skirt Angels and Ladies, Leotard Angels, Little Angels, as well as a series of dolls I call Imaginary Friends--- lots of fun to create and to see.

I hope you're somewhere in Michigan where you can visit any of these three locations that are spread from the Lake Michigan shore to the eastern side of the state!
