I am flying up north to visit Emily next month. This means CREATION STATION extravaganza bonanza in 99 stanzas! Very exciting. I cannot wait to see what kind of fun stuff we will produce!

Stay tuned…

I recently watched a short video about the making of a stop motion animation and it inspired me. On the phone with Emily, we talked about making movies and how we could go about it. She spurred me on and it didn’t take much. I grabbed BattyBoo, went outside, set up this really amateur “stage” and shot a bunch of pictures to create a range of motion. It was honestly, quite crude, but in the end, so fun. I was amusing myself the entire time I edited the photos and put them together.

Here is the result..

This is just the beginning of what’s to come…

Edom

Happy Valentine’s Day bee & bean readers. I’m happy to introduce Edom. A totally sold out, soul train loving machine. A special fields specialist in the Marines, Edom specifically works in the camouflage department designing uniforms for all kinds of environments. One day Edom hopes to design for his local playhouse. Edom is a unsuspecting thespian.

Inspired by Jeff Buckley and the need to make something, I sewed up a new Docksider.

His name is Buckley. On the more pensive side, Buckley’s primary duties aboard the SS Tumbleweed are limited to writing woeful sea chanties and giving advice on how to avoid falling in love. Despite his melancholic tendencies, Buckley has an extremely sweet side which he bestows upon his fellow crewmembers.

Jolly Holidays!

I set up my “Christmas Corner” this evening. A Yoshitomo Nara sleepwalker, The Scientist, an old Christmas card from Alexis, candles, my hand-crocheted snowflakes on branches from our plum tree and an old photo of the desert. I haven’t made any dolls as of late, but have been very busy crocheting snowflakes for my loved ones. Being a crochet novice, it took me a few tries to make thread resemble a snowflake!

Wishing you and yours a wonderful, merry, mirthful, happy, friendly, joyous, warm, cozy, snuggly, tasty Christmas!

” doll : 2. a pretty but rather stupid or silly girl or woman” – that’s a good one.

Happy Holidays

This is a very old Photo Booth image of me and Emily. The holidays are making me think of my loved ones and I just wanted to make a post to share that.

The days have been busy and hectic and I’m in the process of finding a house so that takes up most of my free time. I do however plan on printing tee shirts through TLE and making more dolls for this Christmas. I’m excited about projects and really hoping that the weather starts feeling like autumn because colder weather always makes me want to make stuff.

I am wishing you all a safe and happy holiday next week and stay tuned for more updates!
