Burt and Iggy

Meet Burt and Iggy. These new bird characters were created by drawing a ‘blob’ with my eyes closed and then adding bird like features – eyes, beak, feet, wings, etc.

As Carla Sonheim says – you can make any shape look alive by adding eyes, and make it a bird by adding a beak. Carla is very creative and you can find her website here https://www.carlasonheim.com These are a lot of fun and allow you to let your imagination go.

Magic Box

I just finished trying out a magic box. When you open the lid from one side you have an open box in the middle, when you open the list from the other side you have 2 open boxes on either end. This was a great and fun project, but challenging figuring out how to make the magic part work.

Fiber Arts Festival

My 9-drawer box was accepted into the Fiber Arts Festival, which starts today at the Sequim Museum. The box, drawers and journal are covered with coordinated fabric. If you have a chance to stop by and see it, please do. The reception is tonight, which unfortunately, I cannot attend. But I did stop by this afternoon and took at look at the extraordinary exhibit. It is definitely worth the trip. The exhibit will be up until the end of November.
