May 13th...

Ooh, I keep thinking it's only been a day or two since I last blogged, and then... it's a week!

Where to begin, where to begin... I have a guinea pig on my lap - is that interesting? Little Lilly, Olivia's guinea pig is currently sitting (on a towel 'cause guinea pigs pee a TON) and eating carrot sniblets.

What else... we redid our backyard this spring, and now I want to cram it full of yard art! The funkier the better! I bought a few wonderful flowers from Coffee Pot People. This one is my favorite:



But I love them all, and will post a photo of them in situ later!

Oh, one of my favorite artists is Dolan Geiman. I bought this piece a while back




and I love it! So when the Dolan Geiman newsletter came out, offering a prize for showing your DG piece in its setting, I acted like I wanted to be the 107th caller on the radio station. I RAN RAN RAN to my camera and took a picture of the birdie on my green garage door!! I hope I win I hope I win I hope I win! (As an aside, go to Dolan's flickr site if you want to see some horrid photos of his art fair booth in disarray. I guess there was a massive storm and it ruined everything. So sad...)

Painting!!

Over the weekend it was Lisa's birthday. Her dogs, Zachie and Hazel are the shipping helpers and the doggie backbones of the entire LadyBirdLand Factory. On MY birthday, Lisa gave me a very very cool hanging Robot dude, made of license plates, and wood, with vintage salad tongs for arms. So that meant I knew it would be groovy for me to make a present for Lisa! Soo.... here it is, in all its doggie glory! Ladies and other ladies, presenting, Zachie and Hazel!



I got a ridiculous amount of pleasure from making this... for some reason seeing those little doggie faces staring back and me while I matte mediumed them down just made me giddily gleeful... yay for dog art!

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.
Maya Angelou
