Kokeshi Exhibition at the JANM

If you noticed the light posting this week, it's because I was finishing up my kokeshi doll for the upcoming Kokeshi exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum opening in July. If you are in L.A. go check it out. There are some really amazing artists that were invited to participate.

Here's the Kokeshi I painted for the show at Subtext in 2007.

At the Zoo

We will miss you Fred

Jason and I attended a special broadcast last night of Neil Conan interviewing Fred Andrle before he retires at the end of this month at the WOSU Cosi studios.

Springfield Antique Show

Although I only bought one little item, a $3.00 ceramic bear, I took home a lot of pictures from the Springfield Antiques Show and Market this past Sunday. One seller suspiciously asked me what they were for, and I just told him the truth, "my blog".

AGORA

A few pics from this weekend's Agora.

Evening Walk

Photos from our evening walks.

I'll have photos from this weekend's Agora and the Springfield Antique Show posted soon.

Agora this Saturday

Just wanted to say that I'll be at Agora selling some prints on Saturday, there will be live music, open studios and Jeni's ice cream. Stop by and say hello!

On a side note, Kai took a tumble on our concrete patio steps on Tuesday, now he's got a big scratch across his nose and forehead. Thank goodness it was a pretty minor fall and his wounds have been healing really fast. I guess putting a foam helmet on his head until he's 18 would probably be a little overkill.

This weekend we spent mother's day with the whole family. We worked on our garden and planted more vegetables with the help of my dad. I will have photos of the actual garden (this photo is from a house down the street) soon once everything comes into place. :)

Adele was super sweet to ask me to participate in her first interview for her paper cuts series.

International Midwives Day

I took part in a rally at the statehouse yesterday morning to promote legislation for the licensing of certified professional midwives in the state of ohio.

Day long barbecue with the best set of neighbors ever.

Our weekend was full of laid back activities which included taking lots of photos on Saturday and a day long barbecue with the neighbors on Sunday. More photos to come.

Happy Friday!

There will be another celebration this weekend, I know Kai will be super happy he'll get to eat more cake. Except this time I get to choose. :)

Hope you have a happy weekend.
