Kenny in his "Thomas the Train" costume.
YES! His mommy spent the past two months (off and on) working on this costume for Kenny....
And turns out that he might not even wear. Signs of screaming during costume fitting indicated that!
BUT,
I didn't want all of his mommy's hard work to go to waste. So we forced him into his costume today.
(It's the day before Halloween) and took pictures.

I've learned my lesson, never spend more then a day on your kid's costume!!!

Sale Pending!- "From Roy's Thesis"
someone is interested in buying my "From Roy's Thesis" mixed media/collage piece.
Wow. I'm flattered and excited all at the same time. But realistically, I won't think of it as a final sale until I get the check and it clears.
it's to a women who's building a house and she told me that this piece "speaks to her".
Anyways, I've received alot of positive feedback about this piece from the people at the gallery and other artists as well.

So my next step is to continue in this theme and start creating more collage piece based on randy's dad architectual drawings...
This probably won't happen until early 2007. I can start creating these in between any "funny" freelance job I might get.

had so much fun doing Katie's Kritter Kap that I've decided to do another one...
Critter Cap for Connor (the takeshita family's neighbor, just had a little boy)

Kritter Kap for Katie- hand knitted cap for our friend who just had a baby girl.
And working on Kenny's "Thomas the Train" costume for this year's Halloween. This was an ambitious project, and I didn't think I can pull it off. So far I have 70% of it done. All I need to do is finish the coal part of Thomas' engine and figure out the velcro strap for Kenny. Next year, I don't think I will attempt something like this again. I love the sewing part, but this is way too time consuming. I don't even know if Kenny will wear this the entire night, since the front part is kind of bulky for a young kid going treat-o-treating.
