This photograph was a gift from my favorite guy at the flea market -(park slope) and I love it. He stopped showing up in early summer last year. I’ve wondered and asked about him since and I found out a few weeks ago that he died. He took the photo at the Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island, I’m not sure when- 70’s or 80’s probably. He was a painter and photographer. I only new his first name – John. I’ve been working on some new things for spring and they are available now in my shop. *update – sold out but more coming soon.
There is also a new one of a kind set – claude and gus. I’ll have something similar available to order soon.
I’ve just added this sailboat and lots of other things to my shop.
I finished the owl in the post below - rodrigo is in the shop now as well as a few more birds and a paper mache sailboat.
The gjoa and the little diorama it became part of.
I finished my second cardboard castle and it’s in the window at Johnson at 179 Orchard street. There are also some doug rhodehamel style mushrooms and a couple little creatures roaming around. I had lots of fun making it and it was good thinking exercise for my sometimes too buttoned up brain. I took some pictures of it here before we brought it over.
The back of the castle has some little holes you can peek into. I couldn’t really properly photograph what you see inside, there are ghosts at a ball in one, an enchanted horse in another and miss havisham is held prisoner in a tower (her picture didn’t turn out at all).
The castle will be in the window at Johnson until October 31st . Unfortunately this is my last window for Johnson, Mrs. Johnson is closing at the end of the month. I’ll really miss doing her window. I started doing it for fun and it ended up changing my life in interesting and good ways, Thank you MJ.
On an excursion in Prospect Park.
The Wind in the Willows is a very nice book to read, or have read to you – especially in the spring, which it almost is. Happy daylight savings time. A finished paper mache teacup with flowers and snowflakes and progress on an owl. A paper mache sailboat with a stoic little passenger.
I’m going to make a fleet of little boats like this. I’m also working out a pattern/ project instructions for it. The Antonia with all new sails and rigging.
And some sails in progress for The Annabel Lee. She’ll be done tomorrow.
Work in progress for tinlark.
The last daily bird for a while, at least until after the tinlark show.
Rosey will be in the shop at 8PM EST. * I can’t take little bird orders right now. I wish I could but I’ve got to focus on things for the show and current orders. * * Cake topper orders are closed for June and July * * I’m getting off the 6 am photo program. It has served it’s purpose. The super early start is working well but taking the picture is a distraction. * *Paper mache- I use wheat paste, Golden Harvest wheat paste ( wall paper paste)*
Paper mache chicks say good morning. With lots of enthusiasm.
Monica will be in the shop at 8 PM EST. |
