i've been having fun.

new free-range studio monster


this guy, he's got a lot to say


quiet and rabbit-like


centerpiece / sitting


jewelry holder / hanging


i've started calling this guy max, you can imagine why


he's my favorite. he's got little spots and perfect little ears. i love him.


a new treehouse

there will be a few more treehouses coming, i'm pretty fond of this one

little things that add hours to the work but really make me happy


speaking of little details, the backs of all the new mini-wall monsters

are finished with awesome recycled Waverly upholstery fabric.

all of this stuff is going to be in
The Shop
Tonight

If i ever get home from working the desk job - it's going to be a long day.

...speaking of which. i chatted with my boss on wednesday, and we nailed down what my actual date of leaving will be. my last day, for real official, of working for someone other than myself, is January 22, 2010. Seeing that written on the calendar, it's amazing. anyone who's been reading my blabber since 2005 knows how frustrated i've been about art/deskjob/life. and to be honest, leaving wqa is going to be hard for me. but - to be free and support myself off of my art, finally? that's everything.

The tree in branches is superb, and I love the way your felt creatures burst out of those embroidery hoops. Fabulously inventive stuff.
