Denver Handmade Exhibit at the Denver International Airport
A late night pic of Ronaldo lost in the forest on my desk,
and hibou looking pretty on a log.
Pete roasting green chiles,
and a TACO food truck.
I hope to have some better pictures to post soon but till then here's a sneak peek of the paper display I put together for a Colorado handmade exhibit at the DIA. The exhibit will be up till the end of April so if you find yourself on the moving sidewalk headed for terminal A be sure to look out for these guys.

A little scene you can wear around your neck
"Stella Stumbled upon a Giant Snail" diorama locket, a becky's buttons & Miss Guindon collaboration.
"Stella Stumbled upon a Giant Snail" & "Esther Finally Arrived at the Cabin"
This month I collaborated with becky's buttons to make a set of limited edition diorama lockets. Each locket, a limited run of fifty, is put together lovingly by Becky Wareing-Steele.
Mushroom & Male Couple dioramas by becky's buttons
Peridot Diorama Couple
Becky, a leading lady in the Denver art and craft scene and all around great gal, makes charming dioramas that sometimes depict business men lost in snow storms or folks perched on a giant mushrooms, or the one above featuring a couple that looks as though they're considering a permanent move to a lonely rock.
Our collab is available for purchase both in Becky's shop and mine, get them while they last (^_^)

St. Michel Church
(corner of rue St. Urbain/St. Viateur)
Montreal
Another fun project I've been involved with is making a puppet for Kid's Pop:
(a new role for this pal ^__~)
It's for a workshop where participants can cut and create their own puppet people complete with hats and hair-do's.
I also contributed to the Kid's Pop colouring book, which I think is a great idea:
Back to crafting!
