Well, here we are in April. I spent most of the winter gnashing my teeth over various troubles here....brought about by someone who is getting older and finding out that there are now some limitations??? Maybe for him, but my mantra "Just Gotta Keep Going" is still on my tongue. I tried to spend time in the Creative Room getting ready for my "eye candy" artist bear/artist doll show that is soon to be the first weekend in May @ Philadelphia, PA. I admit to not having any new artsy flashes coming before my eyes, so I decided to re-visit some of the work I had done previously that no one would remember seeing, since it was definitely One-Of-A-Kind. I'm showing some of the finished pieces here, even though I need to have another photo shoot soon in order to show the rest. I tightened up the joints on the bears, using larger joint discs to fill out the arms/legs sockets. Much better looking bears! I also bought a couple of new sewing machines...Janome brand...one is a needle felting machine which I've used to create the 2014 Artist Bear...not pictured yet.

and jalapeno peppers
"La Siesta" of Hispanic Ethnic Heritage with
antique "Mexican" rug serape, beaded necklace, beaded stick pin, sleeping against his own beaded
cactus
"The Motorcycle Song" (inspired by Arlo Guthrie's
song, of course
This is for the male gallery...wooden motorcycle found
at a "flea market"...many different kinds of wood found in this cycle
Bear wears leather vest
This is "Olive Jade" from the Gemstone Collection

So, if there are any readers able, please attend Quinlan's Art Doll/Art Teddy Bear Show @ the Clarion Hotel (near the airport) in Philadelphia,PA May 1 through May 3, 2014.
