She's done! I considered calling her "Where's the Frog?" but haven't made up my mind yet. Think people would appreciate my sense of humor?

Starting tomorrow, March 6, The Crow Show opens in San Diego at The Studio Door. When I saw a call for a show all about corvids, I knew I had to submit "Sometimes You Fly."

"For Aloy," "Eye of Green," "Wrapped Butterflies," and "Where's the Frog?"

Happy to announce that I shipped "Sometimes You Fly" off to San Diego this morning to be part of "The Crow Show" at The Studio Door. I was so excited when I saw this call for entry posted and just knew I had to enter my ravens.

Main body done. Now to embroider all the segments. I _think_ I can get it done by Thursday 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

My necklace, "Around the World," is part of the "Open (C)all : Dear Earth" show at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. I'm excited to go see the show, as well as the show that it's accompanying, "Duke Riley: O'er the Wide and Plastic Sea."

Had an idea for a show next year whose theme set me in a spiral. Do you have an idea of what I'm planning or the show's theme?

I'm super happy with the way this piece is going. I spent much of yesterday and all of today working on the layout and beading.

She's done and she's so pretty! Inspired by a Rorschach inkblot, this piece incorporates glass seed beads & crystals, soutache, leather backing, and a metal toggle clasp

I spent part of yesterday applying to shows & then worked on this guy a little more. I don't think I realized the scale of this piece until I started filling in the wings 😭 I'm fine, everything is fine.

Finally had a chance to hit MOCA in Virginia Beach to see the Dear Earth Open Call and Duke Riley shows. Duke's use of salvaged plastics was incredible and eye-opening. I highly recommend stopping by and seeing the shows

Base embroidery done, now to cut it out, back it, do the edging, & make it into a necklace. But really most of the work is done!

I love how the piece looks so far. It ended up being larger than I first planned, but that's what I do 😂

Excited to make progress on this piece. I didn't realize how spoiled my hoop stand had made me until I tried holding the piece to work on it. Got a few more hours of beading in and said nope, I'm putting you in a hoop!
