This little white donkey is tiny – not much bigger than my thumbnail. I love taking his picture, this one makes me think of kaspar hauser.

things on a table

I noticed some things that landed in a way I liked this afternoon so I took a picture. The little box is a diorama I made a few years ago, I’m working on some new dioramas now.

Forest diorama – closer look – here and here.

A little spider, out for a stroll among the mushrooms.

Away she goes, showing off her fancy posterior.

cardboard castle #2

annwood — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:54:36 +0000

I finished my second cardboard castle and it’s in the window at Johnson at 179 Orchard street. There are also some doug rhodehamel style mushrooms and a couple little creatures roaming around. I had lots of fun making it and it was good thinking exercise for my sometimes too buttoned up brain. I took some pictures of it here before we brought it over.

The back of the castle has some little holes you can peek into. I couldn’t really properly photograph what you see inside, there are ghosts at a ball in one,

an enchanted horse in another and miss havisham is held prisoner in a tower (her picture didn’t turn out at all).

The castle will be in the window at Johnson until October 31st . Unfortunately this is my last window for Johnson, Mrs. Johnson is closing at the end of the month. I’ll really miss doing her window. I started doing it for fun and it ended up changing my life in interesting and good ways, Thank you MJ.

I sure do like making a little bird or something and then taking it’s picture
in a mini forest set. I sure do.

A belated flea market report:
These were a present from my favorite Park Slope flea market man.

They’re perfect for the HairHut Diorama.

Now Pat can have a cookie while she decorates after hours for all eternity.
