Winky Cherry Knows It

I just returned from a trip to LA where I stayed with my brother and his wife. My sister-in-law had thoughtfully bought a children's book on embroidery for me that she found at an estate sale: My First Embroidery Book by Winky Cherry (Palmer / Pletsch 1994). When I opened the first page, and saw the bold, easy-to-read letters making the above opening statement, I knew it was a good book.

Mitch's Riches

I just realized that many of my gallery images are down because I'm so neglectful of my poor little art site. So, I plan on restoring those images this afternoon at a leisurely pace (I do have a cold) and thought I'd pull a lesser-known image of Mitch O'Connell's embroidered family portrait from my portfolio to distract you while I work.

My Niece is a Monster

That's right, I said it. Here's a nice photo (click to big) of my drawing for Domy's Austin Monster show over on Domy's flickr set. Another incarnation of lazer-eyes girl lives!

Be sure not to miss Alicia Traveria
or Nicole Smith's work.

Yay, Domy! Yay!
