unloaded and ready....

last night was warm compared to recently - when i went out after working like a madwoman for the last days. even caine periculos (rossy) was out. he's such a sweet little dog and he's always so happy to see me. who can resist dog love? although he is still smelly and loves to rub his head all over me :P

it was great to be home and get this work done. all of the boxes are unpacked and broken down. almost everything is in it's new place. still have to move my bed need some help with that and still have to have some art framed and hung but i'm not in a hurry for that since i'm not sure of what i'm going to hang - probably not much. only 5 pieces were shipped with their frames. other textiles and ceramic plaques are up. ahhh really feels like home. even poopsie is here - she's my little stuffed dog from childhood - so cute.

i have at least five hundred drawings to photograph. will select probably 50-60 for the website -

although both names will be registered not sure which one to direct to?

that won't be up for at least a month or 2 - didn't realize i produced so much work since 1990. well i know that's 16 years but i've thrown out tons of stuff and still am left with well more then i expected.

two current projects -

dogs of romania - and yes we are entering the year of the dog! didn't plan that just an interesting observation.

zodiac - theme of an art competition here in romania - there are many types of zodiac - western, vedic and chinese - plus apparently there are angels assigned to each sign of the zodiac - symbols are endless. entry is due on the 5th of april so i'm glad my supplies have arrived.
