Wrapping Sticks

This is not my first time wrapping stuff around sticks. I wrapped a whole jar of little sticks around the last election, an effort to rein in my angst. But I was really dragging my feet on this one...probably because my studio room is a big mess. Anyway, I finally wrapped my few favorite sticks. Now, I want to go out hunting more sticks! I only wish it weren't 90° outside. Thanks, Roxanne, for the kick in the pants!

 I did one more box collage...I almost forgot about it. 

 

 

Birthday Card

Hanging onto the eyeball because it's so much fun to make, I made our grandniece a birthday card.

Bird Box

I'm having too much fun with these simple collages on 8" birch boxes. And I used my excess paint for a page of fodder.

 

Fabric Fodder

 I finally had some time to watch a bit of Fodder School videos from Roxanne Evans Stout and started some fabric fodder. I did cheat somewhat by starting with the cotton rags I've been using for months to clean brushes, palettes, sponges, stencils, and stamps. 

 

 

A Bit of a Lull

Honestly, I feel out of sorts when I'm not making stuff regularly. So, today, after seeing a photo of a bunch of Dori Patrick's eyeballs,  I made one of my own. I actually felt so much better, even though it was Dori's project and it was so very simple and silly. 

 

 

 

 Oh, and here are a few puppet pictures:

 

 

 

Puppet Push is ON!

We're working to get puppets ready for a local Memorial Day parade so I ended up with more puppet homework...a bag of heads.

 And I managed to get them done! 

 

More Cats and Some Puppet Work

 I made two more cats. I have one panel left to attempt a dog. 

 And I am doing some puppet homework...painting an eagle...
