i displayed these art pieces on friday night at the Olympia Arts Walk. it happens twice a year and last spring i wasnt able to get anything done in time. but this time i managed to squeeze it into my schedule.... i started two days before the event!! it was nuts. i almost didnt display the self portrait since it wasnt exact, but i did anyways. funny thing was when i first walked into the building a stranger asked "hey, are you that girl in the picture upstairs?" that was the best thing i could hear walking into an art show. then after that many people i knew and didnt know noticed that it was of me. that was very cool. the other piece was made from fabric pieces that i sewed onto the canvas. since i was strapped for time i barely had each piece hanging on by a few threads, just to get it there by showtime. i will fix that soon. there are a couple things like the nose and pupils that are not fabric. can you tell what the nose is made of? i used  buttons for the eyes. both of these projects took a lot of focus and time.. i let dahlia watch sesame street twice in a row just so i could get it done! other wise there is no way she would have been ok with me in the kitchen for two hours.

it was fun to get some new art done. i have been wanting to do more drawing since last october.... better late than never.
