Ostrich Girl
I had the idea for her while driving a few days ago. Funny, isn’t she? I don’t know where these images come from, but I’m glad to receive them! So fun to "see" an idea like this in my head and then be happy with how it comes out on paper. (or clay, or which

Out of Chaos, comes…
Order? Beauty? I can’t remember the end of that saying, but I hope one of those two things is true. On my work table right now are about ten different projects. I kind of like it that way. I managed to zero in on the bird wreath though. I have a few more tweeties I

Wreaths in the Works

That darn Martha Stewart!
I should have known better than to peruse a Martha Stewart book so late at night. Because inevitably, I found a project I just had to try! So out came the sewing machine, the beads, and some feathers I had purchased a couple years ago. Does everyone have a closet of "I-know-I-can-use-this-for-something" supplies? Maybe that’s
