Dancing Girl

I'm finishing some sculpts that I have had on my work table. They have been looking at me for a while begging for some attention. So here is a new little doll that I just finished. She doesn't sit well on her own but there are clever ways to have her sit. There is something rag doll-ish about her that I like. Hope you like her too. :o)

I like how she dances.

Me? A Visiting Artist?

I was so very fortunate today to be a visiting artist in my cousin Phyllis's art class at Pawling Central School in New York State. She provided coffee and doughnuts for her students and I provided the witty conversation...lol NOT! We connected via Skype since I am in Pittsburgh. (It would have been nice if I actually cleaned my monitor before taking any pictures!)

Phyllis :o)

I have been using Skype for years since we live so far from our families but this is the first time I visited a classroom. Phyllis and I get our artistic skills from our grandparents. Our grandfather John was a painter and also did a lot of needlework and our grandmother Betty was also known for her needlework and crafting skills.

The time flew by, the bell rang and our time was done. I am hoping that we can do a project together in the future. That was fun! Thanks Phyllis and everyone! :o)

Oh and my friends have been bugging me to post a photo of my two page spread in the New Art Review publication from my previous post. Only my photos were published. So here you go my friends.
