eBay SCORES!
Oh, I am soooo bad. Got the Steampunk bug, so went onto eBay to look for watches or watch parts. I won the auctions for two amazing items. These beauties just arrived today.
This one is a little box (4.5 x 2.5 inches) with teeny tiny vials full of little parts. Amazing.
This is a much larger metal box (12 inches wide) with two drawers full of interesting parts, both old and new.
Top drawer with tins closed. Just the tins alone are pretty awesome.

Bottom drawer with tins closed.

A couple of close-ups of the parts.
Now to make some Steampunk STUFF!

Steampunk Heart DONE!
Wow, just when I think I'm getting better at not overdoing things. But I like it and it was FUN to make!
It's SO hard to take photos of things like this. I think a light box might be in my future.

Books Arts Show: A Success Despite Rain!
Wow. I had a GREAT time last night at my first-ever book arts show at Made in Ojai. For the first two hours the store was reasonably crowded and folks were truly interested in my work and that of the other artists who showed their books.
Hooked a few new students for my art journaling group and classes at Vita Art Center, too.
We decided to do this again in the summer, when it's light late and won't rain!

Student Work: Art Journaling Class
I finally had a chance to correct these photos and get them posted here. In Oct/Nov I taught a six-week art journaling series at Vita Art Center, and I was amazed at the rich, meaningful and varied work my eight students produced! Here's just a taste of some of their completed pages:
And here's a grungy graffiti page I did in class:

More Felted Goodies
The assembly line is in full swing here, with felt items rolling off daily.
These baby/toddler sweaters and blankies are all made primarily of cashmere and cashere blends, so they're ultra soft for the little ones.
The hard part will be deciding how much to charge for them.
Next up: More full-size Xmas stockings.
