I've been dyeing, sewing, painting, drawing, beading and felting in Denver, Colorado for quite some time. I especially love starting with a blank piece of paper or fabric and coming up with my own designs from scratch.
I've been making art dolls for several decades and out of this evolved my cloth pins and ornaments. Each one is like a miniature version of my larger art dolls.
My pins and ornaments are first sewn of good quality white cotton fabric and then stuffed with polyfill. Then they're hand dyed, hand painted and finally beaded. A pin back is sewn securely on the back of the pins. Because of the nature of the hand dyeing, no two are ever exactly alike.
My spouse loves to spin and weave, and I dye warps for his beautiful handwoven scarves.
I've been painting my entire life and especially love to paint in a celtic or medieval style, but pure fantasy is also great fun.
The well fleshed orange kitty that my shop is named after is Donovan who has his own web site.
That's a great photo! I really like how he's leaning his arm out of the box - very casual.
I grew some of that cerinthe from seed this year. The seed is a bit expensive but almost every single seed germinated quickly - and the plants are really large now (but not flowering yet!)

He looks quite comfy--sunshine and a cardboard box--what more can a cat ask for?
noooo, not lounging, it looks more like.. "come on momma, lets gets these plants planted already" hheheh
V-V
he is protecting the plants from any harm (or eyeing them up for a snack later :p)
Looks like a tight squeeze, maybe you should push those plants out Eric?
Eric looks very relaxing!
