female mannequin

Image
This is a mannequin from the benefit cosmetics counter.  How wonderful they chose a vintage woman to represent their makeup line. I have a few vintage mannequin busts/heads myself. I'll post them soon.

I remember coming downtown to see the window decorations at all the stores on State Street.

Janet's Art Piece

Image
I photographed this guy while we were waiting for dinner in Kathy's house at Valley Ridge Art Studio. Robert Dancik was cooking us dinner the last night of the workshop.  What a treat. Anyway, I don't know when Janet did this piece, but I know Kathy bought it and is prominently displayed in her living area. I've been in several workshops with Janet over the last few years.  She is extremely talented in whatever medium she chooses to work in.

Susan Shie Art Quilt

Image
I took a life drawing workshop with Susan Shie in October this year. Her little black shoes are in the upper right corner of this photograph. This art quilt had nothing to do with the class she was teaching, but we got a first hand look at what her newest piece will look like.

Pug and Chubby Cat

Image
Sorry for the poor photo quality.  You know it is difficult to photgraph an animal who does not know you... The Pug belongs to a Jewelry Artist.  She has another pug, but his photos were too blurry to post. The Cat lives in Wisconsin, far, far away.  I did not alter the blue eye in his photo.

Thanksgiving Art Centerpiece

Image
It's been a while since I posted... I am always in need of centerpieces for the table... Challenged Karen to provide one, but It had to be made, (no floral centerpiece from the grocery store... or as we used to call them at the flower shop, "roundy moundy's") Here is the best Thanksgiving Centerpiece by artist, Karen Pedone. Two squirrels dressed in felt hats on a tray of felt leaves.  Absolutely perfecto!
