Home for the Holidays

And here's Amber's girly bird in situ! in theory I'm starting a flickr thingy, but in practice my computer battery is dying. So stay tuned for picts of the farm in Othello and costumes from the 10 k...

gallery shots

ok, not the best, but they give a good impression of my working conditions. see the very impressive looking heater flanked by all those fantastic pennants? it was making me deaf. now i have a space heater under the desk. the card catalog is full of sequins. i have tennis elbow. nuff said.

First Duck Done!

The great thing about living in Wheeler is, even if you sleep for 11 hours a day, those other 13 have the potential to be so productive!

I am living in the Kaffer's Inn and have started a gallery down stairs called The Duck & Pisaster! (pisasters are those orange and purple predatory starfish featured in the first chapter of my favorite book of the year Where The Wild Things Were). Anyway, my gallery is full of things made with love by Matt and Me and also that Ted guy, so if yer ever on the 101 come check it out! I'm sure I'll have better photo's at some point. Also, if you google Duck and Pisaster you will find our/my Etsy page, where everything if for sale! Decoys! Mugs! Bottle Cap Covered Skulls! Etc.!

Oh, and Bix is also doing well. He likes crab and running around on the very old rugs in the attic, which must smell amazing...
