molly (before)...


it's easy to get distracted when you've got so many things on the back burner. I go from dolls to houses back to dolls then to boats. all these things that i'm itching to finish... plus, then there's those pins i wrote about. i still haven't taken a photo yet!! tsk.. tsk.. yes, i also agree.
give a girl a break. they will make it here... soon!

the pic featured here is molly. she's one of the dolls i've been working on. her arm fell off in mid doll creating madness leading to a pause and heavier application of epoxy. post this post, i'm back to the needle with her and hopefully by mid afternoon, she will be finished!
i'll post the after when the girl tells me she's ready.
hope you're well out there!

conga...


just got back from a two-week hiatus with the ma and pa. the month of august in spain leaves you with basically no other choice than to holiday. this year's venture was not too far away. my itinerary? eat, sleep, sew and go for the occasional swim with two of spain's finest hosts, my very own parents. it was great fun and i can proudly say that i had the fortunate opportunity to get the scoop on what's troubling the minds of the borderlining elderly in these, our modern times.

anyway. fronted a conga-line with the magical tunes of the handsome fellow pictured above. rocked white pants just before the upcoming labour day(whoo hoo!), and shook hands with a jellyfish that seemed a little hungry and scared. vacationing with your folks can taint even the sanest of minds especially when all you do is sleep, eat, sew and go for an occasional swim.

i'll post some pics of the upcoming sellable ditties asap! they are cute and ready for fall(which is just around the bend!) sweater weather, here we come!

he estado de vacaciones con mis padres estas ultimas semanas. como podáis imaginar, españa y trabajo en agosto, como que no van. en fin... ejercí mi derecho de hacer poco en ese tiempo pero conseguí trabajar y terminar algunas de mis inquietudes fieltresticas(es decir, cosas hechas con fieltro).
haber si mañana hago unas fotitos y podéis ver lo que pronto, pero muy pronto puede llegar a tu casa y en tu jersey! otoño, te doy la bienvenida!!

see you soon.

david...


here's another part of a series that i worked on. a further study of portraiture while reminiscing the heavily decorated walls of yesteryear.

they were sisters...


testing, testing...
here's a double panel drawing i'm working on at leisure. the idea is to do the original in watercolour and this fancy schmansy scan in digital colour.
i will then compare and contrast. the hope is that then you will too.

will post a triple whammy when ready.
hope you are all well out there.

salut!

different strokes...


there's different strokes for different folks as the old saying goes.

under the devastating wrath of photoshop, i beg for patience as every waking second has me doubting how much more of it's b.s. i can stand.

choco cinco con los principiantes de fotoshop! maldita sea!!!!

back to work...


there have been things:
end of year madness. moving. re-moving. more madness. summer intensives...
en fin...
we've finally got the internet up and running and very shortly (as in very, very shortly) i'll have more time on my hands than any unemployed roamer!
so... i declare to make a list of to do's and to (at the very least) attempt to do them(i know you've heard that one before!)

this means: my postings will be more than what recent records have shown.

brevemente...
estaré dando mas vidilla a este blog (espero!)
no se fía hoy, pero mañana si!

aqui: un viejo dibujo de la cual me gustaría hacer grabados. sabe alguien de un sitio en barcelona adonde puedo hacerlo?
