well, since i moved my studio out of the bus (my house) and down the road, i had to come up with something to do in my 'downtime' in the evenings (anita, you were totally right on). i still like to watch movies and stitch books together at the end of the day, but here's what i've been working on just for fun lately; combining my favorite medieval, celtic and art nouveau styles with birds from my own yard (the mourning doves come in the summertime, but everyone else is hanging about right now). i don't know if i'm going to do the entire alphabet; i need to start working on the "applegate project"!
