Sneak peek

Providence Art Windows: fabric forest installation

After two days without sleep, it is such a relief to post these photos and tell you all that we finished installing our piece for Providence Art Windows! The window is located at 191 Westminster St., and our opening is Thursday night from 6-8 at Design Within Reach, 210 Westminster St. (diagonally across the street from our window). The exhibition lasts until June 13, 2008- thank goodness! It was such a big project that it would be painful to have to take it down after only one week or something. We're really happy with how it turned out. These photos were taken earlier on in the day, so they don't show the completed setup. Please stop by and take a look!

Hairy Blocks

Sex education- body hair growth!

Handpainted wooden blocks with velcro connectors. Four sides show progression of body hair growth for males (teal) and females (orange).

Wheee! This week is moving faster than seems possible. The girls and I spent a good chunk of time locked in the gallery together, and our show is really coming together nicely. Drop by if you're in the area!

Hi friends. This is part of a piece for a new project with Providence Art Windows, opening Thursday, March 20th in Providence RI. You'll be seeing more of it soon- I'll be sharing more little sneak-peeks in the days to come. It's good to be working with needle+thread again!

Tammy can hardly keep her paws off this little bird. Or did she just want her photo taken?

Magnetic broaches

Here's the last of my leather experiments so far. These are magnetic flower broaches made from leather, muslin, and Bolivian seeds and seedpods. There is a small, powerful magnet embedded in each of the flowers. Place another little magnet on the inside of your shirt or jacket for a lovely little burst of color. These also hold well in hair, and look sweet on a plain pair of ballet flats!
