rabbits anyone?

Ruthie, of Rose Works Jewelry has put together a treasury of bunny rabbits. I was thrilled to see that she included my Nodderhead Rabbit. You can't be too careful with rabbits. They tend to multiply!

Nest Assemblage

This little guy has been sitting on my piano unfinished for quite some time. I had started on him before I took my fulltime job, but now that the job is over, I can finally get back into my studio and have some fun!

The embodiment of a nest, this assemblage contains real feathers and is labeled with a medal medallion. He is a dirty-faced creature with a vintage button on his back.

1940's

The 1940's was a trying time for many. Families were separated. Food was being rationed. Many families lost their men overseas in the war. My Mom's family packed up and moved all the way to California to work at the defense plant. This assemblage is a tribute to those times.

I've missed you!

For the past six weeks or so, I have been working at a full-time temporary job. I may be called to work from time to time, but for now, I am finished. I was working quality control with the U. S. Dept of Commerce, U. S. Census. It was very interesting work, but it left me with no time to keep up with my blog friends. In the next couple of weeks, I hope to get "caught up" with each of you! I have a feeling I have missed much.
