Warming Trend

I've started working on a mad scientist for Cassidy. I'm also still making kokeshi dolls. I haven't sold any, but I enjoy making them.
It looks like most of the pictures I've taken for the last three years are lost in cyberspace.
Oh, well.
I won't be able to bore anyone with my pictures from Greece.
I've always figured that future generations might not be as in love with all the pictures we've taken as we are. Don't get me started on scrapbooks.
I just checked on craftgawker. One of my kokeshi has been accepted but they aren't notifying me by email.

Polar

I have a bunch of glass hearts that I've hardly used, so I thought that I'd (for once) make something before the holiday. This is"cold hands, warm heart (tasty toes).
A piece of mine got accepted on craftgawker. Good.
Alex convinced me to go on facebook. He set it up for me.
We'll see.

Snow & Ice



I'm trying to get used to wearing my glasses. It's like I don't have panoramic vision anymore. Everything is in a limited frame. My distant vision isn't really very bad, but I know that once I start taking them off I'll misplace them.
I'm working on a Mooseman fetus for Alex's art shanty. Maybe I'll freeze it in a block of ice rather than put it into a jar. It'll be well below freezing out there on Medicine lake. Glass probably would break.
Here is a picture of Watson I just took. His right ear is trying to migrate back up.
It warmed up enough to snow. Now the temperature is going back down.
We got the beginning of the third season of "Big Love" from Netflix. It's great.

Eleventh Day of Christmas



I'm still making the little dolls, Here are two more. I'll probably reject the first ones. I picked up my real glasses tonight. I've been wearing readers for a long time. I misplace them, lose them or Watson destroys them. It was time. I keep wanting to take them off, but I know better.
I read that Prince (Minneapolis' homegrown darling) and I are the same height-5'2". I remember that they always described him as "diminutive". Interesting. Few men that I've met are as short as I am.
It's damn freezing outside and they're predicting snow to add to the foot we already have. Typical January here.

Subzero

I've made three more little Kokeshi- like statues. I think I'll make a few more to get it right and to time them.
The video is Jake playing for Screaming Mechanical Brain. He is Molly's boyfriend.
Cassidy wants me to make a Dr. Frankenstein for the cd cover. That reminds me, I have to make a Mooseman for Alex and this year's art shanty.

New Years Day

Spent a large part of the day on these. Still not fast enough. I think I'll try to make five in one day. I'll either be really better at or very sick of it. Maybe both.
