365 Day 29

Yeah!

I started up Fantastic Mr. Fox and got cracking on the side seams for the last 19 finger puppets. Most of these puppets have two seams instead of one, so they took twice as long.

I am going to the Detroit Derby Girls roller derby bout tonight so I wanted to get my work done and posted to the blog early enough to not need to rush around this afternoon.

YEAH -- DEVIL'S NIGHT DAMES -- FIRE UP!

Yay -- She likes it!

Yesterday was the Art-o-mat Welcoming Party (and my birthday) at LIFT in Royal Oak.

Two of my favorite Devil's Night Dames (from Detroit Derby Girls) came to the party. YoYo (in the red coat) and Dizzy Devine (in the green coat).

A little while back Dizzy (Dawn) asked if I would make her something for her new house. She gave me some information about her and her son Jerry. Among some of the things I had to work with: LOTS of hair, she preferred to be pictured as a dog (rather than a cat) , Jerry loves Coca-Cola and Dawn likes chocolate cake and gerber daisies.

Well, since Dawn was coming to the party at LIFT it was a great opportunity to give her the collage. She likes it!

This morning she also sent me a cell phone photo of Jerry with the collage.

Woo-hoo!
