I just received my copy of the Autumn 2015 edition of Prims and couldn’t be happier to see one of my little ladies, Polly, in the gallery section.
Polly is a cloth and clay doll, much larger than my usual cloth and clay dollies. Read the basics about how to make a similar cloth and clay doll in the Autumn edition of Prims, on newsstands Sept. 1st.
Polly has some wonderful creations to keep her company, including this delightful skeleton santa created by Susan O’Connor from Hope Mills, North Carolina! You can purchase this issue of Prims here or look for it in your local Micheal’s or book store.
A familiar face was spotted on Kentucky.com. Watch the video to see some of the sights and sounds from the 2015 Woodland Art Fair.

Earlier this year I worked on a piece especially for the Kentucky Folk Art Center’s summer exhibition entitled Come We to the Summer. I was honored to have my piece selected for the exhibit. The show is scheduled to be displayed until August 29th. So there is still time to view this wonderful exhibit if you have a chance. I have a few pictures from the opening reception, including some photos of my humbled little gal, Mariposa, who was just happy to spread her wings amongst such fantastic artwork.
(This was my first gallery exhibition in Kentucky and the very first opening reception I’ve been able to attend. Last year I was honored to have work included in a group exhibit at Hawk Galleries in Columbus, Ohio featuring Minnie Adkins and many of the area Kentucky folk artists.)
I wish I had taken more photos of the fantastic evening and of all the great art work that was presented in this show, including the Best in Show winning piece by Jo Ann Butts. Unfortunately, this was one of the evenings I forgot my camera but made due with the iPhone. The show is still up for a few more weeks if you would like to swing by and see it.
