Adele's Bag

I haven't been particularly creative lately, but I did make this bag for my daughter.

Sarah's Birthday Quilt

I made this patchwork wallhanging for my sister-law, Sarah's birthday present. It is 27 inches square, pieced with batik fabric in my own design.

Sexing lemons

It's not always easy to determine gender in the plant kingdom, but these lemons are pretty obvious!

Poem: Locker Room

Locker Room

Preening women
Lined at the mirror
Makeup strewn about
Impatience flares
I just want
My spot at the beauty trough

Finally my turn
A quick blow, a quick comb
I've done all I can
Ah presbyopia!
No glasses? No problem
No gray hairs, no wrinkles
Kate Markey

I'm the one who wants to get away sometimes

This is a soulcollage I've been thinking about for awhile. As soon as I saw her I knew that she had to be in this collage. But her background has undergone many transformations. Her spacesuit was white originally, but I wanted it purple. To get it that way I used pencils, but they gave a mottled look. Finally I used ink with a Qtip; wish I 'd done that to begin with.

Web2.0 workshop

I escaped from work today by attending an Infopeople workshop on Web 2.0. I'm learning some cool stuff.

Journal page: Me in the Past

When I was looking at some old pictures of myself I could barely remember being the person who was in the picture. It's hard to capture with a photograph or even a memory the essence of a moment, but some photos just "clicked" and I was right back there when it was taken.
I've intended to start a journal with some of my old photos for a long time to see where it would lead me. This one is a little too much like a formulaic scrapbook page for my taste, but I'm hoping that I'll break away from that soon.
