Wow!! It has been since April since I last blogged! Well, it has been a very busy time, with two back-to-back shows: the Spring 2011 Tennessee Artists Craft Association (TACA) Show was held May 6-8 at Centennial Park in Nashville, TN, and artfusion occured only about three weeks later on June 3-4 at the Factory in Franklin, TN! Here is a shot of Franklin show:

Clowns and Marionettes
- Inspiration for my clowns reaches as far back as the 16th style of street performance known as Commedia dell'Arte (my Punch is a direct descendent of Pulcinella) as well as drawing from more modern sources like the wondrously imagined Cirque du Soleil. Here and there I take historical reference in the construction of certain aspects of the costuming process, but I love the freedom that clowns offer to pursue the most whimsical, ludic, and even absurd directions in their attire. A couple of my marionettes have found their way into the pop culture: Mlle. Senyah was created for a how-to project on HGTV's "That's Clever!", and I was commissioned by Grammy award winning singer/songwriter Darrell Scott to creat a portrait marionette for the cover of his cd "The Theatre of the Unheard". That cd became a Top 100 Critics Choice for Rolling Stone Magazine.

Your set you looks great!I never have a eye for setting up a booth with my dolls.Plus when I have to fly with stuff you are so darn limited with what you can bring.

Thanks, Shyla!! When I fly, I use nestled hatboxes to pack my work, and then I cover them with silk and use them for display. xoxo
