I owe a big thanks to all of you who have written wondering where the hell I've been! Last summer I took a long break from my studio. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the amount of detailed, slow work that it takes to finish a piece. Couple that with health problems and an abhorrence of the interwebs and you get extended periods of absence and avoidance.
But I finally got over myself and posted a bunch of new pics on flickr. My new girls all have animal heads. I'm finding the colors and patterns that I can add to the animal faces more interesting than what I could do with the human-like faces.
The poor things are all naked right now and I feel bad about that, especially since March has been very cold here in Chicago. But I want the clothes to be as perfect as I am capable of, so they will have to wait. Sometimes when I feel really guilty about leaving them to freeze I drape some fabric around their shoulders :)
