New Home

I've been absent from blogland for awhile during my move from Austin, TX to Okoboji, IA.

We are getting all settled in and we have a great home on the wetlands with lots of wildlife.

These Canada Geese are grazing right in my backyard.

Mama Goose built her nest right in front of my studio window.  
This is a view from our patio deck.  I can't wait to see the goslings!


Here are some newly hatched ducklings and a Canada Goose, another view from our patio deck.

I will share pictures of the wildlife in the wetlands often, and I've been inspired to do a series of wetland dolls.  I just completed my first one, but that's for another post.

others are political figures (Sarah Palin),
and some are characters from the Twilight series.

I feel very honored to be one of 50 artists who's work is shocking enough to be featured in this little book of horrors!  If you have not visited Regretsy, please do so asap, and go back often for your daily laughs, giggles, and guffaws.
