Happy New Year!

I was having problems uploading photos to my blog.

I switched to Google Chrome and it worked, I have been finding I need to do that often,

things are a changing I guess.

I have moved into my new studio.

Eva has also moved in!

I found a home for my mineral collection,

and for a few other things...

I'm working on my sketchbook which is due Jan 15th!

I'm looking for projects to participate in so drop me a line

if you know of any.

My next project is going to be "make overs" on two coats.

I was given some pretty interest coats to work with.

The fur collar on the blazer is held on by buttons. I think I'll add it to the 

leopard coat.

I think I'll also remove the zipper and leather around the zipper.

The blazer is from Neiman Marccus and the coat is from a high end

fur and leather store in Pittsburgh. Being made from high quality

materials should make this a worthwhile project.

( plus I'll look like a rock star wearing it)

Now my second coat "makeover".......

well let me tell you about then, you tell me what you think.

This wool coat is long, I mean almost to my ankles long.

It said, Russia to me.

I plan on adding piping of some kind to outline the coat.

Now look what I found on eBay..

I am thinking it may end up being an interesting  art coat.

I might try to sell it on eBay.

There  a TV show starting in a few weeks about Russian spies in

America during the 1980's.

Might I be "on trend" ?????
