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" ?????
