Here are a couple new things I’ve made for Saturday’s party/show:

Princess? Medieval tailor? Kitty who lingered too long on GJ's workspace?
We see these girls almost every day, on their bike which is often parked on Government Street. These are by far their best outfits yet!
Spent a bit of time helping our friend Linda Sheldon set up for an artisan fair at the University of Victoria. Here are a couple pictures. Check out her work at:

Attended the opening of The Toy Show at View Art last night. GJ is the featured artist. The show runs until December 24. There is lots to look at so check it out if you’re in Victoria!

Here are some magical little heads. They were sewn into some old gutted teddy bears to make something even better than the sum of their parts. Also a link to Little Sister, the newest sculpture recently completed and more recently put to film.

Some heads and hands for some new Teds.
Today’s lesson: when one insists on putting oneself in the way of an artist, one may end up wearing a scarf once belonging to a teddy bear.
Sigh; sometimes it's hard to be cute.
OCTOBER 17, 2011. Sad, but excited to be going home, especially to see our kitty. Spent most of the day at SFMOMA. Such a beautiful gallery with some very interesting shows on right now. Started with a coffee and tea in the cafe at the gallery. They serve Blue Bottle Coffee, a local roaster that GJ says has been the best coffee he’s had in SF. We took a break for lunch across the square at Sanraku and later, an afternoon snack at the Gallery’s fifth-floor coffee bar. So full from eating all day that no dinner was required! Will deliver a final post tomorrow once we are home. Cheerie-oh friends!

GJ calles this one Denise and Duchamp. Since he's been taking the photos, there have been a lot of photos of me when I'm not looking! Duchamp's Fountain (1917).
One of my favourite artists, Joseph Stella: Bridge (1936).
