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.

SICK RATS!!

it's the year of the RAT. one of nature's most disgusting creatures.
these drawings were all done on the smallest post-it's 2x1.5 inches.
I think I would like to do a lot of different animals like this. I have probably drawn at least 30 more rats just like this, but these were the only ones I copied.
