Now I’m just pandering. (Time for real work).
This gif is based on the Vegetable Lamb. The heads are my roommates’ cat, but she’s a Turkish Angora so technically this should be kitten wool, not cotton. Although in German, cotton is “Baumwolle” which translates to “tree wool.”
My very first gif. Yesterday I had a ton of projects I should have worked on, and friends invited me over for dinner. I blew off both and stayed up until 6 a.m. making this like a total party animal.
Another textile idea, for an indeterminate future date.
I started working on when I needed breaks from painting endless eyes—the Birds of a Feather scarf. The circular bird fight design will be centered on a diagonal on a robin’s egg blue scarf. So far just a sketch, which will be done today.
Pin Up Girls handkerchiefs/pocket squares are finally available! (One step closer to large silk scarves, which will be for sale with plenty of time to get them for the holidays.)

Painting 100 eyes for the Argus scarf (inspired by Greek mythology). Soon you’ll be able to wrap yourselves in the protective gaze of 50 mid-century hotties!
(I guess I shouldn’t say soon since I’ve been working on the pin-up scarf since the start of the summer.)
My cousin’s wedding is in a couple weeks, and since I can’t make it there I’m sending her a little painting. I don’t know her well, but I do know she loves hummingbirds and has been collecting them.
I made pin-up girls for my relatives on the west coast, but it didn’t seem appropriate for my mid-west family, so instead my aunt is getting her favorite bird, the black-capped chickadee. I sent her a print of my bigfoot woodcut for Christmas, and she specifically requested that the bird be the right size to perch on his shoulder.
