Snowy cabin basket

Hallo,

   Another basket using a vintage plate for the base. Tried something new with the design and tried to make trees in the background.

   Fun little basket to make - its about 11 inches round and 2.5 inches high.

Piper

Hallo,

  I did this painting for friends of mine who lost their sweet pup to a dog attack just before Christmas. The background is encaustic and then I used a photo printed onto tissue paper and added encaustic over the top to define and add texture to the pup. I also printed out copies of the paw prints that the vet gave them and incorporated them into the painting on the blanket and in the background.

Locker hook rug

Hallo,

   I made this locker hook rug for my son because he had left one in storage at my house when he moved to NYC and I ended up using it for my patio. 

  The rug is about 2.5 feet wide by 4 feet long.

   I really need to do a few more rugs and finally use up my stash of fabric.

   Planning to teach a locker hook rug class here in April so that will help a bit.

Studio redo - before and during.

Hallo,

   Welcome to 2026 - finally getting a chance to do some catch up here on my blog.

   Over the holidays the gallery where my art and my studio space is usually closes for a week, so I took advantage of that time to totally revamp my studio space. The first 3 pics show how overstuff and cluttered my studio was. I took everything out of the studio and piled it on tables in the middle of the gallery's classroom space - the next 2 pics - and then started building new shelves and cleaning. When I took things out I tried to group everything together on the tables to make it easier to put back - which really helped!!

   I got rid of my 2 big, ungainly worktables and got new shelves and new worktables.   The last 2 pics show new shelves and one of my new tables. Total work time for me was about 32 hours , with my sweet hubby putting in about 7 hours helping me build shelves and put together the worktables.

  Stayed tuned for the next post for the 'After' pictures!!!

    Take Care
