My New Doll

I am so excited, I have received my first doll from the year long swap I am in. She is absolutely wonderful, sent to me all the way from Great Britian, by Daisy Lupin. I just love her, she is the Lady of the Greenery, a Mother Earth doll. Thank you Daisy so much for the wonderful doll.

The Art Shoes

These shoes are a project my best friend and I worked on last summer while she was visiting. Jennie was going to wear them on her hikes through the Arkansas backwoods on her next leg of her vacation. I created the Dream shoe. Alas the shoes (and all of her other possessions) never made it from Albuquerque to Arkansas. They are forever lost in the black hole of Greyhound. We had a wonderful time painting these shoes and it has made me think that sometimes it is more the process then the product that is important. I will forever remember all the laughter we shared as we each created one of these awesome shoes. So I think the next time I create something I will take time to smell the roses as I create. Not rush through to get to the final product.

Anyway I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures as much as we enjoyed the process of making the Art Shoes
