Kids should be the ones to work


:D
...the energy.
After hours in the sun and I AM THE ONE to come home drowsy and beat....um....what's wrong here?
And it's funny what people (people you don't know....sales people... grocery checkers, gas attendants....) will let you know during your brief visit....you just have to laugh and relate :D

Monster Norma




I like making these eye patches. I'm trying to combine a ratttier look to my monsts. I like the contrast. Everything is about contrast, I find :)

All Together


Here's my new bunch.

New Monsters


I will have some new monsters today :) Woo hoo.I was up late, I have been up late for a while now but it's what i gotta do to have time to make anything. Blah blah, I'm still in a good mood :)
I am still having my morning caffeine but soon I will be sewing them shut!

Street Stickers



I just love graffiti, street art, stickers, etc. I try to capture them whenever I am out.
I know I haven't posted any plush lately but I have been working on paintings. I am going to start adding prints to my shop. But I should be tackling a monster today. We'll see, I'm sleepy today.

I love Hippie Buses



To give you a laugh or make you feel better I had to look up the plural of bus. It just didn't look right....buses...it still doesn't but I am just a follower, kinda.
Anyway, I have spotted sooo many great hippie buses but only just recently started photographing them. This is one happy vehicle. Spotted on Alberta Street.

The best Hippie Bus I ever did see was in Grants Pass Oregon. It was.... painted in earth tones and the people from it were so unreal. They looked like a combination of Renaissance times and the Hobbit. I am serious. There was nothing costumey about them. I don't mean to be jokey in any way. I had no camera back then and not the guts either to approach them. I still kick myself for not going up to them to say hello and tell them what magic they were to me.

Found


I was driving the kids to the park and was at a stop and I spied this art on a post. Luckily I had my camera so I shot it from the car. It's just down the street from my house and I wonder if it is to be taken or what?? It gives me the idea to leave nailed voodoos up all over Portland :D It'll take a little disipline, like making the time to make extras but I should do it. I mean, if I saw a surprise voodoo nailed to a pole it would completely thrill me to tears :D But I'll write a TAKE ME note.
K, someone check on me in a few weeks to make sure I'm not just talking to talk.
