Blue Moon

I love mucking with new materials. This particular piece was a journey into playing with a wax resist method that gave the work a soft and subtle texture and color that I enjoyed.

Goodbye to a cherished friend...

We had to make the sad trip to the vet last night and say goodbye to our little dog Cheeky. She was an octogenarian in dog years, the past 6-8 months had seen a steady decline, everything in her body was failing her, doggie dementia had set in... it was excruciating to see her that way - and excruciating to say goodbye.


We miss her.

The dog was created especially for children. He is the god of frolic." ~ Henry Ward Beecher
