Six ounces of iron. Five different metals. And on the surface, bugs. A tsuba is the hand guard on a Japanese sword. It sits between the blade and the grip, protecting the fingers. Most are decorated with warriors, dragons, mountain scenes. This one from mid-18th century Japan is covered in insects.

I took new jewelry into Practical Art in downtown Phoenix today, and they also took this delightful selection of my painted rocks to sell in the gallery. I look forward to seeing how they do.

Spent a bit of tume some years ago listing as many uses for a handwoven inkle band as I could think of: with two slide ends and a buckle, a great carrier strap for, say, a yoga mat! #Day3 #ArtAdventCalendar #Weaving #PracticalArt #Inkle #CarryStrap
A yoga mat rests on a wooden floor, rolled up and secured by two ends of my handwoven multicolor inkle strap with slider buckles, and an adjustable belt buckle rejoining that makes an over-the-shoulder carrier of the whole.

I'm really happy with how this turned out. It was a super simple project but it's exactly what I wanted- a pouch to hang from my walking stick to collect rocks on hikes 👹

"Gnome Away from Home!" is visiting #whataburger Y'all want anything? With stickers from artists I see all over Austin - Drib, Joel Ganucheau, and Daniel Johnston. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
...don't worry, he's getting an extra for his #opossum friend!

Cartoon illustration of a gnome with a red conical hat riding on the back of an opossum, going through the drive thru of a Whataburger. On the opossum's back is a howdah made from leather saddlebags and a Whataburger table tent, with the number 42. Strapped to the side of the opossum is a 7.5 oz can of Dr Pepper secured with rope, which has been tapped with a spigot. A prickly pear cactus sits behind the drive thru menu and ordering box. The order box has been decorated with stickers, depicting art from various Austin artists (Drib's bird character, Joel Ganucheau's skull design, and Daniel Johnston's 'Hi How Are You' mural). The gnome is gesturing to indicate he is ordering two of something, presumably to share with his opossum friend.
