And I've been busy preparing for teaching, vending and taking classes. I'm doing less online, it's hard for me to make the shifts of online/offline right now, so I'm going with my offline flow. I wanted to share a few of the things I've been working on with you though so you don't totally forget me...

Your dolls are wonderful, love the way you've incorporated painting with fiber. Look forward to taking a class with you at A&S in Portland.
Thanks for sharing your art.

Each better than the next! Love the colors.
The dolls were delightful. The one with the hands in the air reminded me of my children when they were small and said "up up"

So that is where my heart is! She is carrying it, no wonder there is a little hole in my life where a friend presence is missing...

Oh Katie, these are so sweet. I love your art dolls. Your work is both whimsical and soulful at once. Love it. Good luck and have fun!

Katie, you'd never be forgotten! I was thinking of you all day today. Gary showed me some of what he called "homemade recipe books" that belonged to his elderly aunt who passed away recently. The pages & covers were made from cereal boxes, paper bags, junk mail, anything that would otherwise have gone in the garbage. Remembering you talking about your Mom saving cereal boxes (and you!) and then seeing this, just made me smile:) Photos will be taken soon & postedf on my blog, this is too sweet to not share! Enjoy Artfest!
