Our Chewies are Gooey.............
is a new metal collage from our new Collage à Trois series and a really great example of Opie's unique humor.
these last two weeks have been heaven for us.
the new book is finished and we have some time before our mexico workshop in feb. and our upcoming 2009 workshop season.
so we've been in our studio and have picked up where we left off in our metal craft discovery book, with our Family Tree metal collage project...
and expanded... experimented... and thought we'd show you what we've been up to and where we're heading!
In This House....................... is a series of smaller house shaped collages that i'm working on honoring women, house and home.
Opie and I both love working with tin and recycled materials and these collages are a fantastic way to incorporate many of our favorite materials. we're also doing much larger ones as well.
we've put some of them in our etsy shop... which we've finally updated... (yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus)
and added an ongoing metal collage gallery to our website.
so come and take a peek at our current offerings and tell us what you think of them.
and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
Can't wait for the next book! Loved your first one.

I know we are related somehow...I just know it.....and you are on the right track Linda in honoring women in the home for the new series.......in Neverland.......girls are the most clever.....they never fall out of their baby carriages like the boys.......that is why they are never lost! I am sure that relates to the home too......in some convoluted ways. Ummm yes, it does...........here's an example........Can boys to men ever find anything in the refrigerator that is not center front eye level........they are lost in so many ways at home. We can "home" in on it daily. Love the new work...duh.....not a surprise......when you have got it....you've got it!
