Beat the Heat

It's a hot Friday here in Ottawa. I am playing hooky and getting some work done at home. Mostly watering the garden, which is not really hard work. Then the bookkeeping, which is!

I am aiming to get back to this figure I began some weeks ago. It's a Paverpol figure, which perfectly reflects life as it was the day I sculpted him. I designed it to be a companion piece to this one:

They will each sit on their own shelf, but face away from each other. The sentiments being of "Go Away" and "Stay."

Have I got it right?

Meanwhile, I'm hoping to see the Van Gogh show that is in town this summer. Plus, my online classes are starting to teach Yvette ( at A for Artistic) and Dance With the Stars (at Doll Street). Won't you join me? Click the images to register.

Online classes start soon!

I'm super excited to be teaching online again. I have two classes coming up this month - Yvette and Dance With The Stars.

I'm teaching Yvette online at A for Artistic. Yvette starts June 20th and costs $45. In this class we'll be making a cloth doll, then creating a costume for her reminiscent of the 18th century (think "Dangerous Liaisons!"), complete with corset. This 3 lesson class covers all you need to know to create Yvette, plus some variations to make a slightly different, country woman doll.

This class is being hosted by Doll Street Dreamers. Dance With The Stars and learn how to make not one, but two dolsl! We'll be exploring male and female caharcateristics, playing with air drying clay, needle sclupting, costuming and more!! It starts June 29th and costs $35.
