Box People take over!

Happy_0001For almost 8 months I made what felt like a zillion of these little folks.  Most of them sold at a juried art show at the Anchorage Museum.  It was so fun to see the different reactions from people!  Some just really didn't know what to make of them.  I still have the notebook page where I scribbled down the best comments.  That was the first time (since I was a kid) that I had sold my work.

Before they all left home though, I managed to photograph most of them and made a little self-published book to remember them by.  Here are a few of my favorites, starting with Froggy who was caught in mid-riiiibbbiit.

Troll_2800 A Patron of the Arts.
Diva_2627I did a few elements ~ here's Fire.
Fire_1819 And a Chicken that happily went to live with a good friend of mine.  It was so hard to part with these, but especially when they went with total strangers!
Chicken_2223 Bear with me….almost done!  Next came a Bee, buzzin over a garden.
Bee2_1213 And the last one I'll show is my Dormouse.  He also found a home with a friend and I think he looks pretty content with that.
Dormouse_2425Phew!  That's it.  Thanks for hanging in for this very long post.  I never did make any more of these folks, but I'm so glad they found their way into the world.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programing!
