back from oaska

I had a great time in oaska, thank you to all my friends at dream ranch for taking such good care of us. good (new) food, and lots of fun!

these are the deer that guard nara park. they are so friendly you can walk right up and pet them. the park has been there for over a thousand years with generations of deer guarding it.

these giant statues were inside todaji temple.

I did 3 workshops while I was there, it was something I have never done before, challenging yet fun. I'll post the pattern and instructions later.

this is one of the display walls with my plush.

this is a 'Roo-tote' brand bag I designed. they collaborated with artists on a
mickey/minnie tote bag series.

5,6 & 7 for japan....

the plush with the heart shaped faces are part of my "I heart U" collection.

I probably won't post all 50 that is too many, but I'll post as many as I can.

I will be doing a little sewing workshop during the exhibition, a little plush, I will post the pattern and instructions when I get back if anyone want to make one.  you'll have to wait to see what it is!

a couple of years ago I started making tags for my dolls. they are all made out of scrap fabric, so all my little pieces don't go in the trash. there's my 'green' for ya.
